The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 15:29, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from this term's usage as the team's social media account and as a social media hashtag, none of which are reasonable for a redirect, the lack of a space in this title is implausible. Jalen Folf (talk) 18:54, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

... Trump, Trump of ...

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was delete (yes, all). Closers are supposed to assess the strength of arguments, not just count votes, but vote counts do matter, and there were just too many delete votes to ignore, even if argument quality varied among them. Thryduulf's analysis was good, and there was some support for his outlined actions. There should be no prejudice against individual recreation and discussion of these, especially if they're in a different form (e.g., disambiguation page rather than redirect to the same target), but please do consider some cooloff time if you're considering this route. --BDD (talk) 15:25, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not finding a connection to the targets as stated in their subject. Unlikely search terms, and what Trump is being referred to ... since it is not clear in the redirects? Steel1943 (talk) 00:49, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

...Also, I'm aware this may be somewhat of a pending WP:TRAINWRECK (WP:BEANS and all), but I'm nominating them together (for now) since they were all created by the same editor in a short span of time. Steel1943 (talk) 01:01, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This was left over from a page-moving operation in September 2019 to get its target to the correct title. This thing has been unused since that time, and might even be eligible for speedy deletion... Regards, SONIC678 16:47, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect for an article deleted at AFD. No other article/ with a title 'List of Members of Congress who have represented....' exist. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:05, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your failure to assume good faith and say I made a typo are appalling and the latter a personal attack.
The only article in article space that links to the Redirect is Erie Pennsylvania.
That there is no other redirect with the same title is a valid argument....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:39, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Now that this discussion is going into stoppage time, I might as well address a few more points.
  • The original deletion discussion was contentious and certainly not demonstrative of the kind of egregeity that would doom a subsequent redirect with no questions asked.
  • This redirect was initially proposed at the obvious venue, WT:Wikiproject U.S. Congress, where no objections were raised and the idea was endorsed (I'm referring to the "thank you for your edit" feature, which unfortunately does not generate a publicly visible log of thanked edits.)
  • Anticipating the possibility that the venue may not have been obvious to others, I linked the discussion in the edit summary while creating the redirect. I also left another note indicating that I had created the redirect to give editors overlooking my first note to respond.
  • On receiving the user talk notification of this redirect, I once again invited editors monitoring WT:Wikiproject U.S. Congress to comment, and offered here a shorter form of my readers-first rationale for making this redirect, that the benefit to users clicking on one of the incoming links outweighed any disadvantage of keeping the redirect around. I assume our users are competent and capable of finding Erie Congresspersons in a list of Pennsylvania Representatives and Pennsylvania Senators.
  • Speaking of disadvantages, what are they? None have been mentioned in the discussion so far. However, comments suggesting my completely nomination-focussed keep rationale included uncivil personal attacks have been left here and at my user talk page, the latter including a rather disconcerting template falsely stating my comments had been removed. Thankfully, no attempt was made to remove my comments nor my vote, which would have been at an entirely different level. To state the obvious, it is no personal attack to observe someone's typo or to note their deletion nomination as pointless.
If someone can explain to me why we're still discussing this, I wish they would do so.

Medium Rarities

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was disambiguate -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:25, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that these redirects should no longer exist. There are now three different albums that share the same name, all of which are B-side/cover compilation albums by Weird Al Yankovic (Medium Rarities), Cattle Decapitation (Medium Rarities (album)), and now Mastodon (Medium Rarities (Mastodon album)). Since none are standard releases (meaning original music belonging to the main discography), none seem to be classic albums in the way Thriller (album) or Back In Black are, and all are relatively recent works (2017, 2018, and 2020 respectively), it doesn't seem like any should be the recipient of redirects from the term "Medium Rarities". Since there are now three bands using that name for an album, it seems to me that the best option is to delete the two current redirects and replace them with individual specific redirects to allow users to select which album they want to find in Wikipedia's search bar: Medium Rarities (Mastodon album), Medium Rarities (Cattle Decapitation album), Medium Rarities ("Weird Al" Yankovic album). A disambiguation page for this term could also be helpful as the main redirect for Medium Rarities when the artist is not specified. Superken67 (talk) 16:38, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to a page that does not mention Bridges Hall. The term is also ambiguous, given that there's also Bridges Hall of Music at Pomona College and perhaps other buildings as well. ((u|Sdkb)) talk 10:04, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't appear to actually be another name for the target, no relevant results in an internet or Scholar search. The redirects appear to be original portmanteaus of English Nether- (as in Nettherlands) and German Saxe, in the latter case using an archaic eth.

The article "Unexpected hanging paradox" mentions about the fire drill, but it does not mention anything about a fire alarm. The redirect is unnecessary because the article has nothing to do about the fire alarm. It only mentions about the hanging surprise, other paradox, and schools.
