Comparing on-wiki harassment with a crime 2AwwsomeTell me where I screwed up.See where I screwed up. 20:45, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: This redirect is still being used, though obviously it shouldn't be. Someone accused me of STALKing just the other day. StAnselm (talk) 20:59, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Very old redirect, and being used, so deleting it would impair plenty of people who want to end up the harassment page, while its meaning is clear, so people aren't going to end up at the wrong page by accident. Nyttend (talk) 21:56, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as plausible synonym.--Lenticel (talk) 02:17, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Apparently I created this, ages and ages ago. I have no special feelings about it but if it's still in use there would need to be an exceptional reason to delete it. On the suggested reason for deletion, I would add that our article on stalking currently describes it as "unwanted or obsessive attention by an individual or group toward another person", so this still seems like a reasonable name for the redirect. --TS 22:07, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - no WP:RFD#DELETE reason to delete. Perfectly plausible search term. It has been around for 8 years and deletion would break links in umpteen pages for no benefit. The Whispering Wind (talk) 22:26, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, frankly some people do tend to behave like stalkers on here. And as far as the redirect goes, it's been in use for ages, and is still a perfectly acceptable description of the activity. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:46, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. Keep because deleting or retargeting would break far too many links. Weak because we absolutely shouldn't be calling one another stalkers (you'd think this would go without saying), and this should never have been created. It'd be nice if the target perhaps included a notice like that in the lede of WP:DICK, which advises that the existence of the page doesn't mean it's okay to call people dicks; similarly in this case the unfortunate existence of the redirect doesn't mean it's okay to accuse people of stalking. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 14:46, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Stimulus (economics). The arguments for dabification doesn't have guideline-based arguments. (NAC) Armbrust The Homunculus 14:48, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Propose redirecting the target to Stimulus (economics) since "Stimulus program" is pretty vague. Brainy J ~✿~ (talk) 20:21, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Disambiguate per mockup on the page. The Whispering Wind (talk) 01:48, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Stimulus (economics); this is not an ambiguous topic per WP:DABCONCEPT, since both economic stimulus programs listed are merely partial title matches, and therefore inappropriate for disambiguation. Moreover, both of these are kinds of economic stimulus programs. bd2412 T 16:05, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Retarget to Stimulus (economics) per BD2412's argument. "Stimulus program" and "stimulus package" are too similar to assume the Chinese case is specifically intended. Mangoe (talk) 23:57, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
