The result of the discussion was keep and retarget, respectively. As the "Presidency" page was closed at AfD as merge into "Premiership", the outcome here is clear. Since the merge has not been carried out, and since the "Premiership" article remains at AfD, the matter is not completely settled, but at least these have been synced. --BDD (talk) 16:39, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well this is rather confusing. They both go to different places. --Nevé–selbert 00:05, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep both. I can see no good in moving either; each target hatnotes the other. I suppose they are both rather WP:XY but no good would come of deleting them. SimonTrew as IP 84.3.187.196 (talk) 02:13, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  But the way things currently stand is totally untenable, though. Many referring to the Castro regime could easily be referring to the post-1976 abuses, and since the word "administration" is used more often to describe presidencies than "government" (which in turn is more often used to describe premierships), I think a WP:DAB is a reasonable solution to this predicament. Moreover, since his brother Raul Castro is still running the place, who is to say that those searching for Castro regime aren't looking for Raul's regime? Or the government/administration that he is running, for that matter? As I say, the present state of affairs here is unsustainable.--Nevé–selbert 21:45, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The fundamental problem lies not with the redirects but the articles, and we're just rearranging the deckchairs if we retarget them. Initially I considered that deleting them wasn't a good idea, thus I defaulted to keep. But they're both relatively recently created, on 26 July 2016, by User:DadaNeem, and since creation they've had a negligible number of hits until this discussion (4 for government, 0 for regime). Castro Regime and Castro Government are red. There's just one link in article space: to Castro government in Neill W. Macaulay, Jr..

It seems pretty safe to delete both, then, as WP:RFD#D2 confusing per WP:XY. I'm not disagreeable to making a DAB and adjusting the hatnotes, but there doesn't really seem the need for it. In any case the hatnotes could be clearer and instead of just saying "See also" say e.g. "for Castro's leadership before/since 1976, see...". I might just boldly do that. Si Trew (talk) 03:27, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep/retarget to Premiership of Fidel Castro. It's a bit of an IAR vote: it's nonsense to have these two point to different pages although each one is a reasonable search for either one of the targets. The Premiership article deals with events that come first chronologically (it's the start of the story, in a sense) and it deals with disambiguation pretty handily in the first paragraph. I don't think it would be unreasonable to merge the two articles, the resulting article would be about 75k (each now is about 40k but counting on 5k of duplicated cruft) which is not an unreasonable length.

There's a strong WP:PTOPIC issue there. I doubt most readers searching for the "Castro regime" are going to be looking for a small Papal vassal state that briefly existed nearly 500 years ago, and Raúl's presidency is really just an extension of Fidel's (the government consulted Fidel on any matter of importance, and Raúl had previously announced he's not going to run again). Let us not also forget Raúl Héctor Castro's regime in Arizona in the mid-1970s, also not a competing PTOPIC usage. All of these can be handled with hatnotes.

• Motherly → Mother  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

(Neelix redirect). The target hatnotes to Motherly (film), which I would generally move over because an article trumps a redirect. I'd need an RM to do that, anyway, since there have been two minor edits not long after it was created (to give a dicdef which was then undid). I don't mind doing the RM but seems sensible to get consensus here first, considering that any RM notice is not likely to get attention on a redirect. We do also have Motherly bond redirecting to Maternal bond. Si Trew (talk) 03:10, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep {{R from adverb}}. Looks fine to me. --BDD (talk) 17:21, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  That's a stretch. We have all of 21 "R from adverb"s. Page views are negligible, and I just removed the only overlink to this. Maternal bond would be better – I'd rather pull the hatnote to the obscure film off the Mother article; it would be better to hatnote from the film back to mother if you feel that's necessary. wbm1058 (talk) 04:57, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  Precisely because of the obscurity of the film, I wouldn't want it to occupy the base name. And of course, that's 21 pages tagged with the R from adverb template. I'm confident that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of other redirects from adverbs. --BDD (talk) 15:34, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  OK then, move Motherly (disambiguation) to the base name. At least then readers searching for an encyclopedic article about an everyday English word will at least find a definition. I didn't find any of the words warm, caring, nurturing, protective or loving in the mother article. In other words, that article doesn't discuss the subject motherly at all. wbm1058 (talk) 02:19, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. These were "Neelix redirects" that User:Plantdrew marked as {{R from common name}} back in summer 2016. However, I'm not convinced it makes sense with "black thorn" as two words, and it's not used that way in the article (WP:RFD#D2 and WP:RFD#D5). Si Trew (talk) 03:46, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep (at the very least the singular). To me, it doesn't make sense as one word. Black and thorn are separate words, so it makes sense to separate them with a space. -- Tavix ^(talk) 04:53, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It most definitely makes sense as one word. There's a ref and "datasheet" on it here at dpi.nsw.gov.au which I presume is reliable (but Plantdrew may have better references). When checking this, I had assumed that a common name for this species was the native blackthorn: that was marked as {{R from common name}} on creation by User:Plantdrew on 19 May this year. But neither the target nor its entry at blackthorn (disambiguation) actually calls it thus, so I will add that with the reference. Si Trew (talk) 06:50, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Forget it, it is in the Taxonomy section and all the common names come from reference 2. I am not sure how I missed that when checking: I probably search with the space, which is not used in any RS I could find. Si Trew (talk) 07:05, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really aware of good references for common names of Australian plants beyond APNI. APNI capitalizes common names in a way that Wikipedia frowns on; I was just creating the "native blackthorn" redirect as a counterpart to the already existing "Native Blackthorn". Plantdrew (talk) 16:15, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I didn't realize they were Neelix's when I tagged them; I would have brought them here already if I had. There's also Australian black thorn and Australian black thorns, between them these 4 Neelix redirects had 12 pageviews in the last 90 days. Google turns up 2 real world uses of "native black thorn" relevant to the plant. It's an error at best, and not a likely search term. Plantdrew (talk) 05:24, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep all singular, neutral on plural. It's a thorn which is black and grows in the place that it's from; redirect makes sense. I realize "blackthorn" is also a thing, but that doesn't make it so that "black thorn" is not, and it's a perfectly valid search. Plural redirects are useless when they point to the singular target. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 15:54, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep all. Non-experts have no way of known how "blackthorn" is spaced without actually having read the word, so these seem like plausible search terms. Not sure if I agree with Ivanvector on the utility of plural redirects. Surely this is just a slightly more complicated version of say Cats and Dogs? ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 23:16, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Indeed. This isn't a referendum on whether or not regime (i.e. a government, especially an authoritarian one) is a valid (i.e. logically or factually sound) description of the Presidency of Barack Obama (taking the nominator's statement literally), but rather if it plausible (i.e. verifiably used and a likely search term) and points to the right place.

• Keep. Whilst I strongly disapprove of the label "regime" being used in place of a more suitable term such as "government", "rule" or "presidency" in the body of the article (see this edit for an example), I note that redirects do not need to reflect neutrality in the same manner as the articles. On this note, naturally one will not find many references to Obama regime in "reliable sources" for the fact that WP:RS is mostly mainstream media which is seen from the outside as favouring the western positions. The question of what makes one batch of sources reliable and another set unreliable (if talking media and scholars, not unknown writers) is that the "reliable" gang say nice things about one another whilst all attacking the "unreliable" publisher. This begs the question but from my perspective as an editor, I have no choice but to place myself at the mercy of these conventions. Now when you look at the hundreds of thousands of results for Obama regime, there can be no doubt that the term is in common parlance. The term is also found within some parts of reliable sources, such as the Guardian, so there should be no question of deletion. Obviously redirect it elsewhere if it is generally felt that the term here refers to something other than the presidency (such as to Obama himself), but I say we should not ignore terms that are widely used. --OJ (talk) 23:43, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unneeded, WP:COSTLY. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 00:05, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, The Los Angeles Times is frequently used with the definite article. I don't see how this is costly. -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:55, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Tavix: Note the unlikely capitalization. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 02:56, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• @Champion: You need to explain that in the rationale, otherwise I'm not going to know what you're referring to. -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:57, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete The Los Angeles Times is very plausible, but this has a capital "I" in "Times" which significantly reduces its utility. Champion you really should be more explicit in your nominations - simply stating that a redirect is "Unneeded" and/or "WP:COSTLY" does not make it so, you must explain why you believe the redirect to be so.

• Delete per Thryduulf, and I concur that the nom statement could have been more specific. If I was the first one here I would have written exactly what Tavix said. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 15:48, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
