• St. Joseph High Road → Ħamrun  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

((R from merge)), but no longer mentioned. Before the merge, it was a few sentences about how this is an important commercial road in the town. Despite the generic-sounding name, I can't find another road with this exact name, but it does mean that a reader searching for it is probably looking for specific information and is already aware of Ħamrun generally.

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

There are two genera called Echinops. Echinops is a plant, and there is also Echinops (mammal)./Echinops (tenrec) which redirect to Lesser hedgehog tenrec. Echinops (genus) previously pointed to the mammal, but it ambiguous. I've retargeted it to the plant, as that is the article at the base title. I'd prefer to just have it deleted. The only other option that really seems reasonable is to create a disambiguation page and have the (genus) redirect point there, but I don't think a two entry dab page is really warranted in this case. Plantdrew (talk) 18:00, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep While you know I highly respect your opinions on taxonomy, I don't see a problem with this one. I agree that a WP:TWODAB situation isn't desirable, but you've already solved the problem! As things stand now, the plant genus is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the term "Echinops", and the plant genus is, of course, a genus. The existing hatnote will be just as useful to the reader who searches "Echinops (genus)" as the one who searches "Echinops". --BDD (talk) 18:57, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The standard addition for disambiguating genera is now "(KIND)", e.g. "(plant)", "(mammal)", "(frog)". We should strongly discourage use of the ambiguous "(genus)". (I wouldn't object to the strictly superfluous, but perhaps very occasionally useful, Echinops (plant).) Peter coxhead (talk) 19:47, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per BDD. Searching for "(genus)" is and will remain a very plausible search term for people looking for information on a genus - we don't require people to know our naming conventions in order to find the article they are looking for. Thryduulf (talk) 21:10, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. My preference is to delete because of ambiguity. If it is kept, the question then becomes what does it link to, or does it become a disambig page?....Pvmoutside (talk) 01:26, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Per BDD the plant genus is primary topic, and there is a hatnote to the mammal genus. It's a standard ((R from unnecessary disambiguation)) to a primary topic, of which there are countless other examples. Thryduulf (talk) 09:47, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • so I have a question, I looked at pageviews for the plant and the animal. The animal has roughly 10 more looks per day than the plant. Should Echinops then become a redirect for Echinops (plant) and Echinops (mammal) or Echinops (tenrec)?.....Pvmoutside (talk) 11:12, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • If you think that either there is no primary topic for "Echinops", or that the mammal article should remain where it is but that "Echinops" should redirect there then you need to start a requested move for the plant genus article. If you think the mammal article should be at "Echinops" you need to start a requested move for that article. However while there is an article about a genus at "Echniops" this redirect should point to it, regardless of what genus that is. If "Echinops" were to become a disambiguation page then this redirect should point to that disambiguation page. If "Echinops" becomes a redirect to an article about a genus at some other title then this redirect should point to that same article. If "Echinops" becomes (a redirect to) an article about something other than a genus, then "Echinops (genus)" should either be a disambiguation page or point to whichever genus is primary between the two. In no circumstances should "Echinops" and "Echinops (genus)" lead to articles about different genera. Thryduulf (talk) 12:10, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Two issues here: (1) This does not need deletion, as a valid R from unnecessary disambiguation. (2) Redirecting to Echinops is appropriate, unless it is deemed not to be the primary topic and the page moved, per WP:2DABS. --Paul_012 (talk) 06:53, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Bandari music → Bandari dance  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Re-targeting "Bandari dance" to a new article for the subject matter Bandari dance, a draft of this stub article has already been created. Jooojay (talk) 03:34, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Procedural close Bandari music was never a redirect to Bandari dance. In 2009, Bandari dance redirected to Bandari music. Then Jooojay tried to create a standalone Bandari dance article from the redirect, but somehow reverted to the current redirect and then called this RFD. Draft:Bandari dance was created instead, which, if approved, would replace the redirect anyway. If the draft is rejected, recommend Bandari dance redirect to Persian dance where mentioned as an entry, or keep as is, pointing to Bandari music.

• Comment: Just a note, the 2009 redirect was with the tag "R with possibilities" and "R printworthy", see Template:R with possibilities. Sorry for any confusion in terms of the order of listing the redirect, most of this process is new to me. Jooojay (talk) 21:51, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
