The result of the discussion was retarget to Buddhist kingship. (non-admin closure) Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:57, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Buddhism and Rulership → Buddhist philosophy  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

• Buddhism and rulership → Buddhist kingship  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

These two redirects should not point to different articles, but I don't currently have any opinion about which is better. Thryduulf (talk) 17:31, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect Buddhism and Rulership → Buddhist kingship. This seems to be the more specific article. --Bsherr (talk) 18:25, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Agreed, per Bsherr. I don't see the value in keeping Buddhism and Rulership though, as I find it unlikely that someone would search for rulership in capitals.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 19:50, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect Buddhism and Rulership → Buddhist kingship. Excellent observation. Kingship appears to be the way to go. Although seems like a weird thing for someone to search. Wikiman5676 (talk) 00:59, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget Buddhism and Rulership to Buddhist kingship, per the above. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:25, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Buddhist kingship as "Buddhist kingship" seems to be more common ([1][2][3]) while fulfilling the aspects of this redirect. --RaviC (talk) 16:59, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. Deryck C. 13:08, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Rulership → Government  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Please delete, as redirect term does not occur within target article. Neufund (talk) 15:19, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment This started life as a disambig between Domicile (astrology) (piped as "Astrological rulership") and Government, then a Wiktionary link was added, it was then redirected to Government, retargeted to State (polity), retargeted to Forms of government and then back to Government. It consistently gets around 200 hits per year. Thryduulf (talk) 17:25, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• disambig. Forms of government was my first thought, but Domicile (astrology) is certainly not irrelevant (the word is bolded in the lead and there are two sections with the word in the title), and we have Rulership in Hinduism (a ((R with possibilities)) to Hinduism that would be better refined), Chart Rulership (a stub, also about astrology, that probably needs decapitalising and maybe merging into the Domicile article), Co-rulership (a redirect to Coregency), Buddhism and rulership/Buddhism and Rulership (redirects to different articles about Buddhism - see separate nomination), and Sociology of Rulership and Religion (a stub about a book with this title that might be a useful a see also). If others don't think a dab is sustainable, then I'd be happy with retargetting to Forms of government with a hatnote to Domicile (astrology). Thryduulf (talk) 17:25, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambiguate per Thryduulf. Barring that, I think the best alternative actually would be a soft redirect to wikt:rulership. --Bsherr (talk) 18:36, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambiguate per Thryduulf. I'm not convinced that all of those links need to be listed (several would fall foul of WP:PTM), but Government, List of forms of government, Domicile (astrology) and probably Head of state all fall within the bounds of what someone might reasonably be looking for. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:20, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• I also agree that we should disambiguate things. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 06:06, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambiguate, I guess, even though we really are skirting dictionary territory here. I've drafted a basic dab below the redirect, please let's not turn that into an index of government-related articles. – Uanfala (talk) 15:45, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • IMO that draft misses off the two most important targets - List of forms of government and Domicile (astrology). Thryduulf (talk) 17:49, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, the draft is out there for anyone to expand. List of forms of government as far as I can tell is simply an ancilliary article to Government (which already has a dab entry) and I can't see why we should include it or any other government-related article. As for Domicile (astrology), well, I don't know anything about the topic area, but all I can see is that this article doesn't mention "rulership" as a synonym, and the dictionary I used defines the astrological meaning of "rulership" as "Influence or dominance of a planet (or other celestial object) over a person, period, etc.", which is a somewhat different, and much broader, notion that the one that the article is about; the dab entry provides a brief definion and a link to Astrology – rulership as defined is pretty much its essence – though of course this link can be replaced if a more specific article is found (I didn't looked very hard). – Uanfala (talk) 18:31, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to GRANK. (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) 12:30, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Global Rank → Alexa Internet  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Global rank throws up 78 results in a WP search notably GRANK which is the Global rank which exists since 2006. Might be better to create a DAB Dom from Paris (talk) 10:32, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to GRANK. As "Global Rank" isn't the most common or most specific name for "Alexa Traffic Rank", a ((Redirect)) hatnote on GRANK would suffice. — Newslinger talk 10:55, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to GRANK as above, but add a hatnote to List of international rankings. If it were Global rank it should go to the List of international rankings first. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:51, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I created global rank to point to the List of international rankings. Also added a hatnote to the international list for World ranking AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 05:52, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget per the above, with hatnotes for both List of international rankings and the current target. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:55, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I may have misunderstood this "If, for example, we had a redirect from Bodem (Dutch) to soil, a Dutch speaker might get the impression that all of our articles have Dutch redirects.". My mistake. Please speedy keep as a withdrawl. --Dom from Paris (talk) 08:53, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep redirect is for encyclopedia entry relating to entity referred to by informal/crude name.Bogger (talk) 15:59, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Soft redirect to wikt:Jap's eye, or, failing that, keep. I don't think the term absolutely needs to be mentioned in the target for a redirect like this to be worthwhile: we can trust, in most cases, that someone who has searched for this is capable of understanding that the article they've reached is about the same thing that the colloquial term refers to. What such a redirect doesn't do, however, is provide the important contextual information that the Wiktionary entry contains in addition to the definition (i.e. that the term is British, slang, vulgar and offensive). It's plausible that the hypothetical reader is quite often specifically looking for that information, and likely that they'll benefit from it even if they're not. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 18:00, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Soft redirect per Arms & Hearts. The contextual information at Wiktionary is more useful than what we can provide here. If they are looking for encyclopaedic information about the anatomical structure, I've added a link to our article from the Wiktionary entry. Thryduulf (talk) 08:45, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
