• Kirby (tentative title) → Kirby's Epic Yarn  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Misleading and not useful. There are multiple other Kirby games that have had the eponymous tentative title. The1337gamer (talk) 22:44, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Kirby (series). Since countless other games have had this title, why not redirect it to the main series instead, as a generic case? jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 22:51, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The disambiguator "(tentative title)" is not exclusive to any existing subject on Wikipedia. Redirecting to Kirby (series) forces readers to arrive at th video game series article when they may be trying to find a film or some other form of media. Steel1943 (talk) 01:53, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• We typically tend to deal with this with a title similar to Kirby (upcoming video game). This is a reasonable delete as such. --Izno (talk) 14:31, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. → Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Period at the end makes the redirect unlikely and WP:COSTLY. Steel1943 (talk) 15:15, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Unless it was part of the title, any punctuation is WP:COSTLY. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 15:26, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Not part of the stylization of the title. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:01, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep. It's left over from a history merge to fix a cut-and-paste move. Can't see any real benefit to deleting. WP:CHEAP ;) WJBscribe (talk) 10:46, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Columbus. (non-admin closure) feminist 14:41, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Columbus's → Christopher Columbus  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Unclear how this is either a useful search term or exclusive to Christopher Columbus. Steel1943 (talk) 14:44, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Columbus which is a dab. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:01, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Columbus; the title of the redirect is ambiguous. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 22:52, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Nominator comment: I oppose retargeting to Columbus as that assumes that all subjects at that disambiguation page can claim ownership over something. Steel1943 (talk) 01:56, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  I don't think a redirect of that nature would lead to the assumption that all subjects would be able to be used in the possessive. It would simply mean that there is not a primary topic for the word "Columbus's". Besides, creating a separate disambiguation page for "Columbus's" seems awfully silly because there would be substantial overlap. Which ones are you worried about? Certainly the people, places, ships, and media can be used in the possessive. (eg: "Ohio State forms a major part of Columbus's cultural identity"; Columbus's approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes is 97%; Columbus's sediments contain evidence of a lake) -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:50, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• China Railways ST1 → Russian locomotive class Ye  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete - Implausible redirect; one other user agrees that both the redirect and its target do not relate to each other in any way. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 05:06, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - the only thing the redirect and the target have in common is that they are both steam locomotives. 2Q (talk) 06:07, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I don't see it in List of locomotives in China or in general news articles. Is it an alias for another locomotive? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:05, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The List of locomotives in China is exceedingly incomplete (I'm actually working on filling it out at this moment), but the ST1 was indeed an actual class of CR locomotive, that was completely distinct from the Russian Ye class. 2Q (talk) 18:31, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Hookbill the koopa → Koopa Troopa  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Uniquely named variation of the target subject not mentioned in the target article. The subject of the redirect may have WP:REDLINK potential (compare redirect Piranha plant with redirect Petey Piranha), but then again, the subject of these redirects may not be notable enough to not fail WP:NOTWIKIA if an article is made on Wikipedia. Steel1943 (talk) 02:19, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete According to Wikia, Hookbill appears in Yoshi's Island titles only as one of the bosses, but is not described in that article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:37, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, according to wikia, only shows up in Super Mario Sunshine but isn't notable enough to be mentioned in that article or the Koopa one. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:39, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
