The result of the debate was Re-targeted to Renewable energy in the United States. There aren't really alternative articles for disambiguation.

The result of the debate was Re-targeted to Wind-powered vehicle. While the target has some issues, this is a minor variation on that article's title so re-targeting is the most appropriate choice. -- JLaTondre (talk) 23:10, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Re-targeted to Outgassing. -- JLaTondre (talk) 22:53, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • So use the editing tools that you already possess and write a disambiguation or an article documenting all of the other classes. You don't need an administrator to fix this problem. You need to write content. Uncle G (talk) 11:15, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Re-targeted to Photovoltaic module. -- JLaTondre (talk) 22:55, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photovoltatic cells are not a topic covered in this article, and crystalline PV cells do not necessarily use silicon. 70.55.84.27 (talk) 07:54, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've retargeted it to Photovoltaic module... but it's not all that likely a search term. 76.66.192.6 (talk) 04:43, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

optical concentrators are also other things besides magnifying glasses, which we have articles on, particularly in optical communications technology 70.55.84.27 (talk) 07:54, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • So write an article on the subject telling readers this. You have the editing tools. You don't need administrative tools to fix this problem. The goal is to make the encyclopaedia better, which you won't achieve by not writing the things that you claim are missing from the encyclopaedia and not improving the parts of the encyclopaedia that are incomplete. Uncle G (talk) 11:18, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I can think of nothing encyclopedic to say about "optical concentration" except the self-evident "things that concentrate light". The redirect was created by an editor who has exhausted my ability to assume good faith. Given the user's pattern of contributions, this is better returned to a redlink.

This is not the only type of foam plastic, not even close. 70.55.84.27 (talk) 06:54, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • So turn it into a disambiguation for the other types, or even an article on the subject. Why do you think that deletion is the answer? You yourself have all of the tools necessary to fix your problem. Uncle G (talk) 11:12, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Why should such an article exist? You can foam just about *any* plastic. I thought Wikipedia was not a dictionary, if I article-ize it, it will be a dictionary entry. 76.66.192.6 (talk) 04:44, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • It shouldn't. This is too broad a topic for a redirect, let alone a standalone article. The number of types of plastics has grown exponentially over the past century and a half - too many for a dab page. Delete. 147.70.242.40, temporarily at 147.70.242.41 (talk) 19:05, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - it's generally a very bad idea to redirect a general term to a more specific one. B.Wind (talk) 03:33, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Deleted. Moved to WP:TFSA & links updated. -- JLaTondre (talk) 23:14, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea what the TF pseudospace means, but it is an improper CNR to a non-content wikiproject. MBisanz talk 02:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note - TF:SA is shown as a short cut on the target page. Reserving recommendation for the time being, except to recommend input from the members of the WikiProject. B.Wind (talk) 03:14, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep until orphaned. While this is too recent to trip my personal threshold for historical value, it had some relevant usage in internal discussions. Breaking the links would obscure the context and explanation behind the editors' thoughts and make future interpretation of those discussions significantly more difficult. We ought not to gratuitiously break those internal links.
    Once the page has been orphaned, consider me an "abstain". Rossami (talk) 18:15, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
