There is no information in the target about a film, sans the film created the same year as the book in 1983. (Note: Draft:Christine (upcoming film) exists.) Steel1943 (talk) 23:41, 30 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Comment - I'm not super invested in it, but if a mention isn't added to the target (surprised there isn't a section for the original film adaptation beyond the one line in the lead), it could be retargeted to Christine (1983 film)#Remake, where it is mentioned. -2pou (talk) 01:04, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment If it's no longer "upcoming", then why can't the redirect be renamed (if possible)?

  I would strongly oppose that, because the "upcoming" redirects continue to have value for a time after being moved to allow people to find the article at the new title from links, bookmarks, etc. How long that time is varies based on how long people continue to use the redirect, in may experience it ranges from a couple of weeks to a year or very occasionally even longer.

• CORPSE → Corpse Husband  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I don't see an indication in the target article, nor at [1], that the subject's name is frequently stylized as "CORPSE". Even if it were, Corpse would be a more natural target. But since that is a common noun with no affinity to an all-caps rendering, I think better to delete. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 01:48, 17 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Keep. Corpse Husband does use this stylization. It's the capitalization/spelling of his official Spotify account as well as his alt Twitter account. Looking at Corpse (disambiguation), I don't see any entries that would be intentionally stylized this way, so I doubt it would be a useful redirect. A hatnote at Corpse Husband would be sufficient to catch edge cases. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 12:51, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Keep and hatnote per above. This the only entry at Corpse (disambiguation) which would be correctly written in all caps. The film seems to have used standard title casing in the markets where it was known as The Corpse [2]. Corpse would not be a natural target; all-caps redirects generally point to WP:PRIMARYREDIRECTs which are known by their acronyms (e.g. BLUE, FROG), or to the dab page if it has multiple topics correctly written in all-caps (BIRD, GREEN, COW, WHIP). 61.239.39.90 (talk) 03:20, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Saudi Arabia and the apartheid analogy → Human rights in Saudi Arabia#Allegations of apartheid  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect targeted a contrived subsection of Human rights in Saudi Arabia that was largely based on opinion pieces. I have removed the unqualified opinion pieces and folded the remaining quote, which was specific to 'religious apartheid', back into the main introduction on religious freedom. There is no remaining obvious target with regards to Saudi Arabia, and even if people wanted to search for Saudi Arabia and the theme of 'apartheid', this page would be an unnatural and implausible title for a redirect. People would more naturally type something like 'Saudi Arabia and apartheid' or 'Saudi Arabia and apartheid allegations' not the above. Iskandar323 (talk) 10:44, 30 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete: As there is no reasonable target, I think deletion make sense. Having said that, I do find the redirect formulation to be fine as it's using the same format as the article Israel and the apartheid analogy. TartarTorte 15:17, 30 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
