The result of the discussion was retarget to Unreal engine#Zafari for now. The nominator's rationale that the term wasn't in the target was resolved by adding a mention elsewhere. There was also a suggestion for redlinking that was refuted by pointing out there is already a draft in the page history. -- Tavix ^(talk) 15:47, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget There is an upcoming TV series that will likely become the primary topic. Meanwhile, I mentioned the series at Unreal engine#Zafari, so that's where the redirect should point for now.

"Zafari" is also the romanization of an Iranian surname, as well as part of several place names in Iran, but none of these currently necessitate disambiguation. Paradoctor (talk) 14:40, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete to create redlink for the TV series. Create disambiguation page if something else is primarily known as Zafari as the cities only include it as a PTM, and there's a single by Nacht und Nebel (band) called "Zafari". AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:22, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Unclean vocals → Death growl  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Unsure where this phrase should redirect to. From the history, it has switched between redirecting to "death growl" and redirecting to "screaming (music)". It was later made into a disambiguation page, but I'm not sure if any of those results is a good idea. Natg 19 (talk) 06:58, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment shouldn't this go to Parental Advisory which discusses clean versions of songs? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:55, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Screaming (music) may be okay as a synonym since Clean vocals was retargeted there. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:27, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Death growl. As I pointed out in my edit comments, Screaming (music) does not even mention the term "unclean" anywhere in the article, while Death growl lists "unclean vocals" as a bolded alternative title in the section "Terminology". A death growl is different from screaming and I've never encountered "screaming" as an umbrella term for all "ugly" forms of singing (in popular music, especially rock music), so "screaming" cannot be equated with (all) "unclean vocals". In fact, compared to a death growl, some forms listed in the article Screaming (music), such as shouted punk vocals, are considered "clean singing", because they may be gruff but easy enough to understand. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 01:34, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Black wood → Candidatus Phytoplasma solani  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The target article is a plant pathogen that causes "black wood of grapevine". This redirect however is far too vague and could describe any black-coloured wood, namely ebony.

• Delete. I think this is probably a typo of hatsuon, but I don't know whether the redirect would be useful even if it were spelled correctly. As it's mispelled it's both an unlikely search term and potentially confusing. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:26, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Pork with garlic sauce → Yuxiang shredded pork  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Too general a term to redirect to one specific dish. PamD 08:44, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This two terms are exactly the same. I am a Chinese-born-Chinese and we eat this dish from elementary school. Lugiamale (talk) 10:05, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

But it's not the only dish involving pork with garlic sauce. Readers may be looking for another such dish and be SURPRISEd to find this specific one. --BDD (talk) 18:08, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Theoretically, there may be other pork dishes that have a garlic sauce, but does anyone have an example? I wasn't able to find anything else matching that description. Unless Wikipeida covers other dish(es) that can be described that way, I'm inclined to keep. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:26, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Umm... OK I should make myself clearer. Sorry for the short response earlier. The reason why I make this item and make the redirect is that almost all of the Chinese restaurants in the US, especially in the Midwest area, translated Yuxiangrousi into Pork with Garlic Sauce. It doesn't make any sense, but a lot people would refer to the dish by this term as a consequence. So it would be pitiful if these people come to wiki but could not find anything about the dish, so I was trying to inform them the correct information. Lugiamale (talk) 22:04, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Tavix: there may be other pork dishes involving garlic sauce, but if they're not notable and we don't have any discussion of them in the encylopaedia then this redirect does no harm. I have no way of verifying Lugiamale's point above, but it sounds entirely plausible and provides another good reason to keep this. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:02, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep for now, without prejudice against WP:SETINDEXification or something in the future (I see cookbooks using this as a translation of 蒜泥白肉 too), or immediately if anyone finds other dishes currently in Wikipedia which are described this way. Added a sourced mention of this translation at the target. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 03:31, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• OK, Withdraw - still not convinced this is at all reasonable but I seem to be in a minority of one here, no point in battling it out. (Though the article says it's called "Shredded pork with garlic"!) PamD 09:12, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Howard Hinton → H._E._Hinton  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

There is more than one person known as Howard Hinton. This redirect is to an article about Howard Everest Hinton. I wish to publish an article about Howard Hinton (no other given names, see Draft:Howard_Hinton) with target = Howard_Hinton. I have updated Hinton_(name) to reflect this. I do not think disambiguation is necessary in this case , and the redirect should be deleted. Perhaps the existing target article could be renamed Howard_Everest_Hinton. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StedmanTriples (talk • contribs) 01:17, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• I don't think anything needs to be deleted here. If you want the draft currently at Draft:Howard Hinton to be at Howard Hinton, then just overwrite the redirect with the content from the draft.
