The target article does not discuss notability in the context of law, so this redirect may be seen as confusing. -- Tavix (talk) 23:53, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

YMCA (diving organization)

It seems misleading to label YMCA as a "diving organization". If disambiguation is desired, YMCA (organization) would be sufficient. -- Tavix (talk) 19:07, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

...and what? The name of the organization is "Young Men's Christian Association" so I'm not sure what the "and" would refer to. -- Tavix (talk) 19:04, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Brexit redirects

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was split decision. Despite Nyttend's comment, it's not that hard to sort out where consensus lies for these:
Keep: Brixit, BRIXIT, BrExit. Multiple people have specifically called these out as good redirects for various reasons.
No consensus: Bregsit. It's been singled out to keep as phonetically equivalent, although not as much as others.
Retarget Brecession to Economic effects of Brexit
Delete the rest.
Finally, I'll leave you with this blog post, which has a humourous take on most of these redirects. -- Tavix (talk) 17:33, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well I have to admit, a lot of these redirects are very amusing indeed. But most if not all are not encyclopaedic, and should be deleted. --Nevé–selbert 20:45, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There's no specific need for a redirect to be encyclopaedic, I can't see any that particularly breaks the RfD guidelines. --Topperfalkon (talk) 00:23, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I was understating matters. Frankly, these redirects are absurd and totally unprintworthy.--Nevé–selbert 02:04, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Brixit spelling is used regularly in news articles [1] [2] [3] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:42, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cake Day

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was delete. The rough consensus is that readers are best served by revealing search results in this case. Disambiguation was considered but most participating editors did not find it a satisfactory solution. Deryck C. 11:34, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Terminology is not unique to Reddit. It is occasionally used for standard birthdays as well as other websites such as Imgur. Reference — IVORK Discuss 15:30, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • None of these national food days are referred to as “Cake Day” alone. They are referred to as “National Pancake Day,” “National Chocolate Cake Day,” etc. ―PapíDimmi (talk | contribs) 17:01, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It may be better to retarget to Cake#Special-purpose_cakes to cover multiple occasions. There are events when companies have a cake day for employees who celebrate a birthday in a month. [4] [5] or birthdays in general [6] [7] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:17, 15 May 2017 (UTC) updated 20:49, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no mention of "cake day" at Imgur at present, so that is not a valid disambiguation page entry. Second, please don't remove the rfd notice while discussion is in process. older ≠ wiser 20:00, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • As per my reference listed above in the main reasoning for RfD, that shows Imgur officially recognizes the term, however I didn't think it important enough to include in the article. — IVORK Discuss 07:07, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If the search were for "Reddit Cake Day" or "Imgur Cake Day" or "Corporate cake day", then it could go to the specific sections, but the general one should go to a general listing, so perhaps a dab page would be helpful as all of those versions seem to be PTM's now. Problem is that the particular Cake Day redirects would have to be created. I put in a starting dab list in the meantime. But without a primary topic, I don't know if it will be that helpful.

Also note that cake day is not listed in the online Wiktionary or Merriam-Webster. [8] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:37, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
