• Portal:Democratic Party → Portal:Democratic Party (United States)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

A misleading redirect forcing the reader into a single instance - the national version of the US based party. The more useful page is Democratic Party - a dab page with numerous entries. Part of the mass creation of portal spam titles. Delete it or redirect to the mainspace DAB page. Legacypac (talk) 23:43, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – it leads to the only portal currently on a democratic party. If and when there are more, the redirect can be replaced with a disambiguation page. It is not a good idea to redirect portal titles to non-portal pages, because it is misleading.    — The Transhumanist   23:56, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, and in fact, move Democratic Party (United States) to this title. Somewhere along the way someone got the idea that the titles of portals need to match exactly the titles of their main topics, including whatever disambiguators they include. This is not based on anything (no policy, guideline, or even reason or thought). Disambiguation exists to resolve a conflict between two or more identical page titles, and we have no other portals that should be at "Portal:Democratic Party". As we are moving toward significantly more restrictive portal creation guidelines, it's extremely unlikely that there will ever be a portal for any other Democratic Party but this one, so disambiguating the title will never be necessary. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:02, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the article a move of that nature was rejected exatily one year ago today so if anyone is considering making such a request they should study the failed request to take into account why that request failed in order to creste a proposal that takes these issues into account.--64.229.166.98 (talk) 03:11, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Polyisobutylene → Butyl rubber  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Procedural nomination, as this has a RfD tag but apparently never got discussed. There is a related discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2019_January_6#Polyisobutene (which looking at the dates an nominators was likely to include this redirect too). I presume the possible outcomes include retargeting, deleting, and creating a new article. See also: User_talk:Thryduulf#Polyisobutylene_(2) Nabla (talk) 20:35, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep redirect, as targeted. I've added 3 rcats to the redirect: ((R to anchor)), ((R with possibilities)), and ((R with history)). The appropriateness of these categorizations support keeping the redirect. If an article is fleshed out of its possibilities, it should be decided and written through normal editing and talk page discussion without necessitating an RfD or any form of page deletion.--John Cline (talk) 03:15, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Copernicium(IV) fluoride → Mercury(IV) fluoride  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I am not sure why this hypothetical copernicium compound redirects to a compound of its homolog mercury, where there is only a very brief mention. Wouldn't the article about the element (specifically Copernicium#Chemical) be a more relevant target? ComplexRational (talk) 01:12, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Glottolog mention this as an alternative name, so readers are likely to encounter it in the literature and redirects are there to help readers. If the name is incorrect, then the redirect should be tagged with ((R from incorrect name)) rather than deleted. – Uanfala (talk) 03:46, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment (FYI, the nominator's statement means "incorrect redirect") From a quick search, it appears to be a romanization of "那溪瑶", which turns up quite a few sources, however this source lists it as an alternative name for Kam–Sui languages (zh:侗水語支), so I'm not sure if it refers to a broad group or a single language.

• Keep per Uanfala. Nuoxi is in the Kam-Sui family, which may be where the overlap is coming from. Also note the singular "language" refers to a single language, not a family. -- Tavix ^(talk) 22:36, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The year 2018 has already passed and we're in 2019 right now. Having an article that simply redirects to a "main page" simply makes zero sense. NotCory (talk) 09:19, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment this matches articles for other pairs of years, e.g. List of role-playing video games: 2016 to 2017 which all do as the title suggests so I'm very surprised by the lack of a list for this pair of years, but there isn't one in history I can find (although it has moved around a bit to some bizarre titles). I'll ping the video games project. Thryduulf (talk) 13:46, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

keep - seems like a sensible redirect to me, if there are currently a list for other years. I'm a little surprised also the articles doesn't already exist (which would make this arguement moot.) Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:53, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Human-readable medium. I'll note there is no consensus to delete any of the variants due to opinions they are common forms and valid for searching. -- Tavix ^(talk) 01:46, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Human Readable Interpretation → Barcode  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I was very surprised to end up at Barcode from this term as I was expecting an article or section about the plain language summaries of legal licence texts (e.g. Creative Commons licences). The history makes it clear why the terms redirect here - it was originally a stub reading, in its entirety, "The Human Readable Interpretation is the information contained into a linear barcode, which is shown in readable characters under or over this." which was merged rather than deleted. However this information is not in the current version of the barcode article at all, let alone using the phrase "human-readable". I can't help but feel that this should either be a disambiguation page or retargetted somewhere but I haven't currently found any great candidates for either so I'm bringing it here for discussion. Thryduulf (talk) 21:21, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and add to article this should just be a brief paragraph that explains what HRI is. You can support it with documents like [1] [2] [3] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff)

• Retarget to Human-readable medium OR Delete All(if keeping, at least delete two, we do not need every spelling variant of everything). Why delete? Because human readable *interpretation* would generally mean anything that can be easily interpreted by humans (as opposed to machines and.. hmmm... lawyers? :-) ). Redirectig to barcodes seems to be too specific, as the nomination says. I don't know of any good target in that broader sense... It is somehow about code or encoding?... But those are a little too technical, I suppose. Maybe we need a new article, more... human readable? Deletion might encourage that. - Nabla (talk) 12:49, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  On further reading the article, retargetting is the best option, this is close enough to the general article I was asking for. So retarget "Human-readable interpretation" delete the other two, as we do not need every spelling variant of everything - Nabla (talk) 12:54, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget 1, delete 2 & 3 per Nabla; I can't find any better targets from the list at Interpretation.  — Scott • talk 15:11, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment These are all equally valid and equally useful search terms, if there is a good target, so they should either all be deleted or all be retargeted. I oppose split decisions here. Thryduulf (talk) 15:28, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget all to Human-readable medium. In particular Human Readable Interpretation should not be deleted, as it is the most common form in which this phrase appears on Google. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:14, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Mayor Pete → Pete Buttigieg  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Redirect from massively ambiguous title to one name: Pete Buttigieg. Wikipedia has articles on a 7 mayors named "Pete" (including Pete Buttigieg), and to 138 other mayors who first names begin with "Peter", any or all of whom may be known by the common abbreviation "Pete". (Full list on the talk page: WT:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 March 17#Mayor_Pete).

We could in theory convert this to a disambiguation page, but is really a good use of editorial time to create and maintain several thousand "JobTitle Firstname" disambiguation pages? It would require huge ongoing effort to keep them up to-date, and I think that readers would be better served by searching. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:54, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BHG, you could delete it under WP:G7. I could not find any examples of the redirect ("Mayor Pete") in the search bar, but I was never really wedded to the idea of this redirect in the first place. If you say there are seven mayors named peter/pete, then that's good enough for me. :) (edit conflict) –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 03:00, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, @MJL, it's 145 mayors named Peter/Pete. Which shouldn't really be a surprise: Peter is a common name in the USA, and the USA has a lot of Mayors.

But sure, I'll G7 it. Thanks for enabling the speedy. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:04, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BrownHairedGirl, it's nothing (also thanks for the ping). If there are any similar concerns in the future, I am always willing to comply. I'm trying to be the best mainspace editor I can be right now! :D (edit conflict) –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖
