• Invest 99-L → 2016 Atlantic hurricane season#Tropical Depression Nine  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Delete. Useless redirect; practically every hurricane season has at least one Invest 99-L. ANDROS¹³³⁷_TALK 03:40, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Invest (meteorology)#Designation, where this specific designation (i.e. invest number) is mentioned. CycloneYoris ^talk! 04:22, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget: per CycloneYorris, where Invest 91-L already redirects, or delete. If retargeted, the other codes should be created as redirects as well. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 11:37, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - My thought is that the number of going to the the Invest 99-L page is going to be extremely low and that most who are doing so would be looking for specific storm information rather than information for Invests in general. With most seasons having an Invest 99-L, it's impractical to redirect to a particular season, and I don't think the redirect to [[Invest (meteorology)#Designation) will be helpful. Inks.LWC (talk) 04:03, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pageviews for this redirect have been rather decent, and not extremely low as you're suggesting. This appears to be an {{R with history}}, so deletion should be avoided. Retargeting to the Invest article is the only plausible solution I can think of. CycloneYoris ^talk! 01:03, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget per CycloneYoris. That target seems the most useful for those people who are using this redirect - and there are people who do. Thryduulf (talk) 11:26, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Sharon Bell → 2015 Sousse attacks#Victims  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Name not found in article, and therefore not useful search term. Name is probably in one of three references, but the reader is more likely just to curse than to read the three references to look for the name. Redirect was viewed 160 times in calendar 2019, which is less than once every two days (and we don't know whether any of those searches were useful). Recommend deletion of redirect.

No idea without reading the sources whether she was killed or wounded.

There is a draft Draft:Sharon Bell for someone else. A decision has not yet been made whether to accept the draft. If it is accepted, a hatnote can be put at the top of the new article, but what can be said about someone who isn't mentioned in the article? Robert McClenon (talk) 17:54, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. There is a large number of redirects [1] from people's names (or of the form Jane Doe (terrorism victim)) that redirect to this article, which are presumably people who were killed/wounded. Without meaning to be insensitive, WP:NOTMEMORIAL, and unless specifically mentioned in the article all these redirects should be deleted. A redirect of a person's name to an article that does not mention the person can be ambiguous (there are lots of Sharon Bells in the world), and is confusing. Let's decide this one, then RfD the remainder if necessary. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:44, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Dogtown, Los Angeles, California → Venice, Los Angeles  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Delete because Dogtown was actually west of Downtown about a century ago. There's no area in Venice called Dogtown. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 03:49, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Possibly retarget to Dogtown, California, a disambiguation page? I'm not sure to what extent any of these could be considered LA. --BDD (talk) 19:29, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep but retarget. The existence of two notable films, Dogtown and Z-Boys and Lords of Dogtown, about culture in the Santa Monica/Venice area, indicate this is still a significant informal placename. I have added content to Santa Monica neighborhoods#Ocean Park Neighborhood that might make that section a suitable redirect target. Ibadibam (talk) 18:51, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Dogtown, California. I've added @Ibadibam:'s helpful links to the See also. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:47, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep - Dogtown is the area of Venice known as Oakwood. The LA Weekly refers to it as "the no man's land between Venice and Santa Monica that generations of skate rats would come to revere as Dogtown" [2]. Here is a history of it called "A Tale of Two Venices: Before There Was Dogtown, There Was Oakwood" [3]. Westjet magazine also has an article about Dogtown, Los Angeles called "Skateboarding Culture in Dogtown, Los Angeles" [4] The name is still referenced in Venice today, with Dogtown Station Lofts (700 Main St, Venice, CA 90291), Dogtown Studios (326 Sunset Ave, Venice, CA 90291) and Dogtown Media (228 Main St #4, Venice, CA 90291). Hopefully someone can add Dogtown to the Venice wikipedia page. It deserves recognition. Phatblackmama (talk) 22:33, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is it fair to characterize Dogtown as comprising both Oakwood in Venice and Ocean Park in Santa Monica? Ibadibam (talk) 03:40, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Eduard Bernstein#Opinions. -- Tavix ^(talk) 12:32, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Evolutionary socialist → Democratic socialism  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

These redirects should point to the same target. Note that {{Social democracy sidebar}} also includes a redirect labeled "Evolutionary socialism", which is in fact a piped link to Eduard_Bernstein#Opinions. My understanding is that the term was either coined or at least is strongly associated with Eduard Bernstein, so matching that piped link seems like the best solution. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 16:10, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak retarget to Eduard Bernstein#Opinions, since the other mentions seem to be referring back to that. It doesn't have much more substantial discussion than the current targets, though. An article would be ideal, but this seems like the best solution for now. --BDD (talk) 18:20, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Refugee sponsorship → Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 
• Community sponsorship of refugees → Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Refugee sponsorship is likely notable in its own right, but currently redirects to an article about a specific Canadian program. I think that providing internal search results for this term would be more appropriate in the absence of an article holistically about this topic. While the current target article includes some discussion of policies in the UK and US, sponsorship programs exist in other countries as well (off the top of my head, Germany, and likely many others; virtually any country that accepts refugees is going to have some sort of sponsorship program). _signed, Rosguill ^talk 15:45, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be better if this was retargeted to Sex workers' rights which describes the activities of sex worker activists, rather than the current cross-namespace redirect to a category which is naturally an incomplete list. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:31, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Swifties → Taylor Swift  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Absolutely no information on Swift's article regarding her fanbase and their nickname. Sources present on the target article do not talk about her fanbase in significance. Jalen Folf (talk) 06:19, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to List of fandom names unless if Swifties are worth mentioning in the Taylor Swift article. Alternatively retarget to Swifty as Swiftie redirects there. Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 06:58, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to List of fandom names. My experience is that watchers of Taylor Swift are very precious about what gets mentioned in that article and what doesn't, so redirect to a target with a mention. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:37, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Carlson Hotels → Carlson (company)#Carlson Hotels  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

The current target, Carlson (company), no longer run hotel, and it seem the content was axed or trim for past operation. Moreover, Carlson (company) and Carlson Hotels are similar.

However, by legal person sense, Carlson Hotels, Inc. is the former name of the same legal person as Radisson Hospitality, Inc. , aka Radisson Hotel Group. Also, that article has relatively more in-depth coverage for the company as Carlson Hotels.

So, retarget or not? Matthew hk (talk) 05:38, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• It sounds like it is Radisson Hotel Group. ---Moyogo/ (talk) 08:49, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Draft:Dora the explorer → Dora the Explorer  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Created as a two-line unencyclopedic draft and then redirected to the main article. Given that no content from the two-line draft seems to have migrated to the mainspace article, and the fact that terms with the draft prefix aren't particularly plausible search terms, I think we're better off without this.

• Move to Draft:Dora the Explorer (without creating a second redirect) so the draft's capialization is correct and matches the target. UnitedStatesian (talk) 18:22, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • IMO, that would be an absolutely pointless and bureaucratic move – we don't need correctness in redirects, and this would destroy any old links that point to the current redirect. — J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 19:08, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete since it was not a redirect-from-move and there is no attribution requirement to keep it. It has very few page-views according to the "stats" link above, usually 0-2 a month. Now, that may be deceptive if only "actual" page views are counted, not "redirect-through" page-views. There's no need for a "placeholder redirect" at Draft:Dora the Explorer since anyone creating the page will see this: "Note: There is a Wikipedia article named Dora the Explorer (diff)" davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 19:11, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
