The result of the discussion was no consensus. While there was no consensus for what to do for the redirect, there was consensus to disambiguate David Ayres which is now available at David Ayres (disambiguation). Whether the hockey player is the primary topic can be discussed at the disambiguation talk page. Whether the soldier's page be moved over the redirect can be discussed as a WP:RM.

• David Ayers → David Ayres (Medal of Honor)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Page was initially at this title but was moved because "That's how it's spelled on gravestone." However, ice hockey goalie David Ayres is currently the primary topic for that spelling. Given "Ayers" does not appear to be the correct spelling, either this should be redirected to the hockey guy or the medal of honor guy should be the primary topic.

• Move David Ayres (soldier) back to David Ayers. Misspelling or not, WP goes by the sources, which mostly use Ayers. Dabify David Ayres using David Ayres/David Ayers (the soldier) and David Ayres (ice hockey). In a nod to pagemover Hhfjbaker, this would demonstrate that the soldier has equal or better claim to the primary usage of David Ayres. Havradim leaf a message 21:58, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• at 11:36, 21 January 2022 Peacemaker67 moved page David Ayres (Medal of Honor) to David Ayres (soldier) (Unnecessarily specific disambiguation). I don't see that they have registered their opinion on this matter here. – wbm1058 (talk) 19:18, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• I’m relaxed about whether the soldier is the primary, but if he needs to be disambiguated, I’m unaware of any other soldier of that name from whom he needs to be disambiguated, so (soldier) is all that is required. (Medal of Honor) is unnecessarily specific, and frankly not appropriate, as it doesn’t describe him, but an award he received. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:13, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as retargeted mid-discussion to David Ayres (soldier). Pageviews show the hockey player to be the primary topic. I suppose an argument could be made for the long-term significance of the Civil War soldier, but I'm not really seeing it. My initial reaction about the hockey player was "what? this guy's only appeared in a single NHL game?" But I wasn't aware of the NHL's system for using an "emergency backup goaltender", nor that he was the first such goaltender to record an NHL win, nor that Disney has a feature film in the works about this guy's big BLP one-event. I'd just assumed that – as with Major League Baseball, when a team runs out of pitchers in a game that extends deep into extra innings, they use their best non-pitcher pitcher who's still not been put in the game – the Carolina Hurricanes would be forced to put a defenseman on goal rather than put the Zamboni driver in the game, LOL. I think this hockey player actually has greater long-term significance. I'm relaxed about whether the civil war hero remains at David Ayres (soldier) or moves back to David Ayers. There seems to be no consensus on that, so feel free to take that matter to WP:Requested moves. – wbm1058 (talk) 19:10, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. I found the various hatnotes to be cumbersome, so I just created David Ayres (disambiguation). – wbm1058 (talk) 20:51, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per wbm1058 on the assumption that the soldier is the only one for whom this spelling has been attested. No strong opinion on either of the two proposed moves, but the pageviews do clearly suggest that the hockey player should stay at the primary title. – Uanfala (talk) 19:13, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The uppercase-starting name refers to the star Sirius and should be targeted there. See the discussion and sources at the 'A RfD. The equivalent lowercase-starting name correctly points to lava, and should be retained ('a'a - ʻaʻa - `a`a - 'a'ā - ʻaʻā).

Also, if all of these variations do not make sense, keep the proper one pointing to the right target, and delete the rest. Jay (talk) 20:17, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment All of these look like very plausible substitutions for the ʻOkina so they should not be deleted. Thryduulf (talk) 20:32, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• These redirects represent one of the several Hawaiian names for Sirius. It is not mentioned in the article about the star (even though there's brief coverage of its role in Hawaiian culture), and I'm not sure there's any scope for changing that. On the other hand, targeting the lava section is perfectly appropriate: in this meaning, the terms are actually used in English. I don't think the distinction between upper and lower case initials is very relevant: the wiki software treats these two as equivalent, and it's only because of the fluke of the ʻokina that this isn't happening here and that we're in a position to be able to have separate redirects for the two case variants. – Uanfala (talk) 13:29, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. For exactly the reasons User:Uanfala said, the difference in capitalization is unlikely to be salient to readers searching for the type of lava. The type of lava is definitely the primary topic for this term, and the hatnote at the target article is sufficient for helping readers who are looking for the star. —Mx.

The result of the discussion was retarget to 2022 Dublin University by-election#Candidates. The fact that an article was deleted at AfD does not mean that variants of its title cannot be redirects. The only policy-based argument for deletion was that she is not a politician, an argument which was not elaborated on and which gained no traction. (I note that Sadhbh O'Neill currently targets 2022 University of Dublin by-election, but that is a double redirect and I have filed an ((FPER)) to update it.)

• Sadhbh O’Neill (politician) → Sadhbh O'Neill  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This page was created just after a AfD, seen here: Talk:Sadhbh O'Neill. While it was changed to a redirect, given that it was only ever created to counteract an AfD after consensus, there's no benefit to this separate page continuing on Wikipedia, even merely as redirect. It's also a misnomer, as she hasn't been a politician for many years. Iveagh Gardens (talk) 16:39, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. I am confused. Sadhbh O'Neill is currently itself a redirect to 2022 University of Dublin by-election#Candidates per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sadhbh O'Neill. Sadhbh O’Neill (politician) was subsequently created as an article contrary to consensus, tagged for CSD A10, and then blanked and redirected by the admin that declined the A10. So, I would say fix the double redirect and otherwise keep as ((R from unnecessary disambiguation)). Mdewman6 (talk) 20:44, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  It should be deleted because the whole article should not have been repeatedly recreated, and this version of the title was only yet another attempt to circumvent consensus, though I’m going to say somewhat in good faith. Iveagh Gardens (talk) 21:41, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Right. Recreation of the article at a new page name was clearly inappropriate, but creation of a redirect at this title would have been fine, hence the WP:BLAR instead of speedy deletion. Mdewman6 (talk) 00:46, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to same target as Sadhbh O’Neill (wherever that may be at the closing of this discussion.)

  @Bonoahx - We've both suggested to retarget, but I'd nonetheless add to your point: while it's possibly not a common name for the language, I can see Google Go being a common search term for people looking for information on "Golang" distinct from the Go! programming language, which supports the idea of retargeting to the disambiguation age.

@Shhhnotsoloud: The first track is often written as "Liberation (Intro)". This can be proven with a quick Google search.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Battle of Williamsport. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:01, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Battle of Falling Waters → Battle of Hoke's Run  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Suggest retargeting to Battle of Williamsport. Both battles are sometimes known by this name, but from some searching, the later and larger Battle of Williamsport is probably the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here. Current what links here is a mix of both potential targets, so the links will need to be sorted through regardless of how this RFD closes. Hog Farm _Talk 21:15, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget per nom, and update hatnotes and article leads as appropriate. FWIW, Google searching certainly supports the 1863 battle as being the primary topic. I would also suggest the creation of Falling Waters (disambiguation) to disambiguate the two battles from Falling Waters, West Virginia, which is (appropriately) the target of Falling Waters. It appears the 1863 battle in particular is sometimes just referred to as "Falling Waters" (common for "Battle of" to be omitted from many battle names). Then add a hatnote to the dab page at the WV article. Also, I am happy to help fix the back links once this RfD is resolved, just ping me. Mdewman6 (talk) 21:05, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. There are sources supporting the use of the term for between two and four different animals, apparently without any being a primary topic. (non-admin closure) – Uanfala (talk) 20:59, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned in the target article, leaving the connection between the redirect and the target unclear. Steel1943 (talk) 20:29, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. From what I can work out, I think this is a synonym of Clouded leopard but I'm not certain (it might instead be a Marbled cat. It's not mentioned on either of those pages though. I'll drop a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cats. Thryduulf (talk) 22:55, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. Seems it has been used for both the clouded leopard (e.g. britannica.com) and the marbled cat (e.g. Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary via thefreedictionary.com). The latter also gives tortoise-shell tiger as an alternative name for the marbled cat. There's a nice 19th century illustration that looks like a clouded leopard. I don't think it is in common use for either, though, so it's a question which one is rarer than the other if making a choice of most common use. A disambiguation page is probably best. —  Jts1882 | talk  08:48, 29 January 2022 (UTC)but[reply]
• Comment. At the time the redirect was made, the article did mention 'clouded tiger'. But, if it was removed since then, I guess the mention was inaccurate. Gil Gamesh (talk) 17:51, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  It was removed in 2009 (the redirect was created in 2006) by Wikiuser100 with the edit summary "uncited". I've just seen that Calico cat does mention this as an alternative name, but that is also uncited (the citation only verifies the following sentence). The term is mentioned at [1], [2] and [3] but I've not checked the reliability or independence of those sources. Thryduulf (talk) 22:47, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Disambig between Calico cat, Clouded leopard, Marbled cat and (maybe) Tortoiseshell cat. Based on the comments above it seems that this term is/has been used to refer to all of these types of cat. Thryduulf (talk) 22:49, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: A disambig draft will help. Although note that there is no mention of clouded or tiger at Marbled cat and Tortoiseshell cat, and no mention of tiger at Clouded leopard.

• Note: DAB page created at Clouded tiger (disambiguation), to be edited however is seen fit.

• Delete. Enwiki has nothing about this initialism and Fuba which redirects to Fubá is not a suitable target. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:27, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. F.U.P.A. (with a P) is a slang term for panniculus, but I can't find any instances of F.U.B.A. being used in the same way. Retargeting to Fubá doesn't really make sense, none of the articles listed there (all people with the last name Fubá) are plausibly spelled as "F.U.B.A.".

Delete this awkward name. This is a misnomer. We use Amsterdam, Netherlands and we should not add for every publication also a redirect with a location dab. Especially not scientific journals with a global reach. Same problem at Biochemical Systematics and Ecology (Amsterdam, The Netherlands). Proposing both for deletion. Nothing links to these either.
