• Dogs in urban environments → Street dog  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Any type of dog, including domesticated ones, can be in an urban environment. In other words, this redirect is misleading since it assumes that all dogs in urban environments are street dogs. Steel1943 (talk) 22:08, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep (original target, do not retarget) - while I respect that there are other categorizations for dogs that live in urban environments, they're not exclusive to urban environments. Street dogs are, at least according to that article's lede. I find it unlikely someone looking for information on dogs kept as pets would go to the effort of searching under this term.

• Delete as an unlikely search term that could only be targeted at either (a) an article that only discusses part of the concept, like Street dog or Dog#As pets or (b) the currently-AfD'ed Urban dog article stub, which I dispute the encyclopedic relevance of in the first place, as it's too vague a concept to have specific referenced coverage of. ~ mazca ^talk 12:32, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Alocasia#Cultivation, Caladium#Cultivation and uses and Colocasia#Cultivation all contain significant information about growing these plants. Xanthosoma and Arctium sort of do but not as directly or as completely, only Bergenia crassifolia contains no relevant information.

Draco volans is just one example of an actual winged lizard, and I'm sure there are more. Someone else is probably more knowledgeable about the subject and could make a better dab page than I could. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 04:46, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Flying dragon and flying lizard both redirect to Draco (genus). Maybe this should too? PC78 (talk) 14:28, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Or perhaps Flying and gliding animals#Reptiles, since Draco is not the only "flying" lizard. PC78 (talk) 15:04, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Flying and gliding animals#Reptiles seems like a good option. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 18:44, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Disambiguate? - It seems like multiple targets are being discussed, but I do believe the redirect should at least be retargeted away from Dragon. Invalid^OS (talk) 12:11, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambiguation sounds like the best solution here. bd2412 T 11:38, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Unless any of the above mentioned potential targets are referred to as "winged lizard" as an alternative name (which it seems they are not), a disambiguation page would not be accurate since the subjects do not have this name. Let the search function do its job and not be hindered by a misleading disambiguation page. Steel1943 (talk) 15:49, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Winged lizard" is the literal meaning of Pterosaur so a redirect there might be appropriate if it's not considered a valid search term for any of the above (though I don't necessarily agree with that sentiment). PC78 (talk) 17:51, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Disambiguate. Could mean either Pterosaur or Dragon (which are winged lizards imo). I'd be happy to draft it. Cheers, –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 17:29, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambiguate. Let's not an overly literal interpretation of disambiguation style guidelines get in the way of helping our readers. This is a plausible search term for several things (dragons, pterosaurs, flying and gliding reptiles) that are accurately described by this term but do not contain it and so are mostly not found by the search engine. Although note that flying lizard (disambiguation) exists it does not list dragon. Thryduulf (talk) 13:26, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "...Let's not an overly literal interpretation of disambiguation style guidelines get in the way of helping our readers..." That's actually exactly what we are supposed to do since disambiguation both 1) are supposed to represent actual names/titles of subjects, and 2) should not block more helpful search results. In the case, creating a disambiguation page here with the topics mentioned thus far would be problematic as both not containing actual name/title matches and would block the functionality of the Wikipedia's search function.

• Keep. This is an {{R from move}} dating from March. Such redirects continue to have use for a time after the move so that people can continue to find the content they are looking for even if they don't know the new title. This usage tails off after a period of time but the statistics show that it hasn't done yet. Come back when it's getting single digit numbers of views per year rather than per day. Thryduulf (talk) 13:30, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The film is no longer untitled so this is an inaccurate way of describing the film. If this redirect is deleted, the logs will appear in that pink box, telling people that the article formerly at this title was moved to Annabelle Comes Home on 15 March 2019 by Cardei012597 and offers a link to the new title. Deletion also has the added benefit of discouraging further use of this outdated redirect. -- Tavix ^(talk) 19:43, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Alliance of the Libertarian Left → Left-libertarianism  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Not mentioned in the target (except as a publisher of one of the references), nor discussed in sufficient depth in any other articles. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 17:01, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a usual case because there is no article at Alliance of the Libertarian Left.North8000 (talk) 17:53, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? Alliance of the Libertarian Left is a redirect. This is Redirects for discussion, where we discuss redirects. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 21:10, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake North8000 (talk) 23:09, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Tough. It looks like this is an organization with local branches; the Tulsa one is the publisher of the reference the nominator mentions. There's definitely reason for deletion in that we don't discuss the organization, and if someone searches the term looking for the organization, they'll be disappointed. But I can also see someone searching the term just to get a sense of the underlying ideology. Not that "left-libertarianism" is especially unintuitive or anything, but if you don't know it, you don't know it. --BDD (talk) 16:00, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• What BDD writes makes sense to me.  I'd say that a bona fide article should be created for the alliance, but that, until one is created, the current redirect should remain.  allixpeeke (talk) 07:33, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• delete or retarget (*), the organization not mentioned, and we have a redirect at "Libertarian Left" which should be enough to cover the concept - Nabla (talk) 18:56, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(*)PS: after u:MJL's edits (See below) retargetting to "Roderick T. Long" also makes sense. And probably more (though I don't like to have redirects for stuff for which search works just fine, I am not everybody :-) - Nabla (talk) 21:49, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Someone searching with the full organization name is most likely wanting specific information on the organization, which we cannot offer a searcher. As Nabla points out, someone searching for the ideology can use "Libertarian Left". -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:35, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, while BDD (talk · contribs)'s rationale makes perfect sense, "Left-libertarianism" would high in the search results if one did search for this organisation. As the organisation isn't mentioned in the article, I'd argue that a search result page would be more useful to the reader, and a redlink would be more useful to encourage the potential creation of an article here if it can be referenced. ~ mazca ^talk 12:20, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changed to retarget to Roderick T. Long per @MJL: below; arguments regarding search results being preferable to the lack of specific coverage existing otherwise are rather mitigated by Mr Long's article being expanded to mention the organisation. If a full article on the organisation can be written and justified with reliable source coverage in future, great, but redirecting to it in this context definitely seems to assist the encyclopedia reader in the meantime. ~ mazca ^talk 02:11, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Roderick T. Long. Sorry for swooping in last minute here, but I've increased our coverage of the subject. Long is a co-founder of the organization and rather influential in left-libertarian thought, so here we are. The article on Long could use less WP:RSSELF, but it'll have to do for now while it still gets worked on. @Mazca, Tavix, BDD, Arms & Hearts, Nabla, Allixpeeke, North8000, and Deryck Chan: Could I get your thoughts on this, please? –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 17:42, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • This looks good to me. Thanks for your work on the Long article MJL. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 17:54, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  @Arms & Hearts: Don't mention it! –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 18:43, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Looks good to me. Good idea. North8000 (talk) 23:11, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Good work! With the article being updated, that obviously makes the previous delete votes irrelevant because they are due to a lack of mention anywhere. In fact, I think this can be speedily retargeted. -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:22, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Good stuff, per my adjusted statement above I'd agree with @Tavix: that this can probably be promptly retargeted! Definitely a good solution to an otherwise debatable redirect, well done MJL. ~ mazca ^talk 02:11, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Abelone → Abalone  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

This redirect, not mentioned in the target article but is presumably an R from misspelling, is ambiguous (eg with the wine variety listed in List of grape varieties) and should be deleted to avoid confusion. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 19:59, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as a very plausible misspelling. There is already a hatnote to the grape variety, which is a much less common use than the misspelling. Abelone is a Danish name (see da:Abelone) but I can't find any reliable sources about to write an article (tons of unreliable ones though, the da.wp article is unsourced) and we don't have articles about anyone with the name. Thryduulf (talk) 21:19, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. If there are entities for which the term is the proper spelling, then they always take precedence over any misspellings, no matter how obscure they might be. In this case, they're too obscure to themselves be eligible as targets of a redirect (the main candidate is the grape variety, which is simply a mention among what look like thousands other mentions in a big list, without any readily identifiable source). Deletion to reveal the search results is best, with the possible creation of Abelone (sea snail) as an {{R from misspelling}} to help the current target remain prominent. – Uanfala (talk) 12:29, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename to Abelone (sea snail) as a {{R from misspelling}}. That should handle search results; "Abelone" as a {{R from misspelling}} can be retargetted to Abalone (disambiguation) which lists both the snail and the grape (as a confusion see also) , or deleted. -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 13:54, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• @Uanfala: How will it benefit Wikipedia to actively hinder people reaching the content they are looking for because something with a similar spelling is too obscure to be searched for? I've been thinking about this off and on for a few hours and I'm still drawing a blank. If there are two similarly prominent things the correct spelling will usually take precedence and a hatnote added at the target, but if the misspelling is the primary topic by a significant margin then hindering people reaching it feels distinctly spiteful. Thryduulf (talk) 17:10, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are two main groups of readers: those who type "Abalone" but are actually looking for the snail, and those who are looking for any of the things properly called this name. Deleting this redirect presents both groups of readers with the search results, from which they can see where is the article they need. Keeping the redirect pointed to the sea snail article saves the first group of readers one click, doesn't substantially change the effort required of those looking for the grape (assuming the hatnote stays), but completely cuts off the way for readers who might be looking for any of the people named "Abelone" (because they can't be mentioned in the hatnote). There's also another group: those who encounter the term but don't know what it means. Given how difficult it is to notice the difference between the two terms, we risk misleading readers here: imagine someone who's just bought "Abelone juice" and wants to look up what it is – they type "Abelone" and arrive at an article about sea snails (Eeew!). Favouring a misspelling in the choice of target has an additional drawback: it is baked into the text of the article (assuming a hatnote is added). Why should this article – a reader might want wonder – start with "Abelone redirects here", is that another spelling? Does "Abelone" mean the same as "Abalone"? – Uanfala (talk) 02:16, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Chasselas and expand the hatnote accordingly. My usual inclination is to not treat something as a typo unless there's a compelling reason to do so. Linking to the relevant part of List of grape varieties could be difficult and confusing for readers. I've restored the list of synonyms—admittedly quite large—that was removed from Chasselas last year without discussion. --BDD (talk) 17:28, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• @Plantdrew: Would you by chance have any feedback on this nomination? Steel1943 (talk) 15:40, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Chasselas for now. The given name probably merits primary topic status if anybody cares to write an article about the name. Plantdrew (talk) 16:55, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Planet bob → Titan A.E.  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

This appears to be from a quote at the end of the movie. Not mentioned in the article, and probably shouldn't be. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 11:57, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Originally this was an article with content "Planet Bob is a fictional planet from the movie Titan AE.", then "The New Earth", then getting redirected. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 12:00, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Mentioned in a couple list articles (List of fictional planets by medium, Planets in science fiction) but it doesn't seem like a significant element of the story and will likely only mean something to someone who is already familiar with the film. Miminal usage. A weak redirect to Planet Bob & Tom perhaps, but probably just delete. PC78 (talk) 15:14, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No mention in target, not a particularly useful search term. I'm pretty sure we deleted a very similar redirect a week or two ago. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:56, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I created these (and some of the others) to discourage the creation of a likely non-notable articles. I started making these after I saw several student union articles come up for AfD and failing on notability grounds. - GretLomborg (talk) 20:24, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've added three additional redirects of the same kind to this discussion _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:37, 21 June 2019 (UTC) [reply]

• Keep. These should be tagged as {{R to article without mention}}. I suppose if there was a reason for that RCAT, this would be it. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 20:00, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Frankly, I think the best use of that template is for its corresponding category to function as a maintenance category. It's rare for a redirect without mention to be appropriate. --BDD (talk) 13:58, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. While we can use redirects to discourage creation of standalone articles, we also need to consider the impact to readers. These redirects communicate to them, "We have information on these student unions." We don't. Let's not mislead or confuse them. Furthermore, any reader who knows about the University of London Institute in Paris Students' Union, for example, will be able to search for the university's name anyway, so it's of little value to just redirect them where we don't discuss the student groups. --BDD (talk) 13:58, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Created with good intentions, but I don't like the idea of creating dubious redirects as a technique to discourage the creation of dubious articles. (Also, not convinced how effective it would be as a deterrent.) Colin M (talk) 20:09, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
