The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 15:03, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a "nickname" for the target used in only in one video game, Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game). The redirect's name is not mentioned in the target article, and due to lack of a notable connection to the target, fails WP:NOTWIKIA. Steel1943 (talk) 23:56, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Twin Brooks[edit]

The result of the discussion was retarget. --BDD (talk) 15:04, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget/disambiguate to Twinbrook (disambiguation); Twin Brooks, Edmonton has 100x the population of the one in South Dakota. Better this point to a joint dab page for Twinbrook/Twin Brook/Twinbrooks/Twin Brooks, and indicate both the SD and AB settlements on that page. 67.70.35.44 (talk) 23:12, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget per nom and add the Twin Brooks to the dab.--Lenticel (talk) 04:04, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Soundtrack list of 2012 film[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 14:55, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like a very implausible query to me, and the separate 2012 film soundtrack article was iteself redirected back to the film article. DonIago (talk) 21:21, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete this is not a list of soundtracks for films released in 2012 -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 11:31, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Refine target to 2012 (film)#Soundtrack which contains some of what people using this redirect are looking for. This is the original title of the article about the soundtrack to the film called 2012 (nothing to do with any other films released in 2012) that was moved to 2012 (film soundtrack) and then merged into the main article following an AfD. Thryduulf (talk) 18:47, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I admittedly have a hard time believing anyone is actually using this redirect. If memory serves, the creator of the article which this redirect succeeded was ultimately blocked for disruptive editing in part because they were demonstrating a less than perfect grasp of the English language. DonIago (talk) 19:19, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It hasn't had sufficient time existing as a redirect without activity on it (only 16 October to 28 November) for there to be reliable viewing statistics, but it was getting hits almost every day which is suggestive that it is being used by humans. Only a few months after this discussions will there be sufficient data for a reliable answer to that question. At least in the meanwhile, this is completely harmless so deletion wont bring any benefits. Thryduulf (talk) 22:32, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is not harmless, it is highly misleading, it is not a list of soundtracks for the film industry in 2012. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 00:04, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If it were "Soundtrack list of 2012 films" then you might have a case, but it isn't. It clearly refers to 2012 (film) not 2012 in film so it isn't actually misleading. Thryduulf (talk) 01:05, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's an assumption on your part. I think it could just as easily be assumed that someone meant for it to be "Soundtrack list of 2012 films" and inadvertently omitted the final 's'. The redirect utilizes poor syntax, I have a difficult time imagining anyone specifically searching for the redirect as listed, and can't imagine that anyone would be unable to find the information they're looking for if the redirect were to be deleted. DonIago (talk) 14:50, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete. A search for "<whatever> 2012 film" should rank "2012 (film)" high enough. Yes, I know our search engine is sometimes less than perfect (and sometimes even annoying...) nevertheless, creating redirects from just about ever confusing sentence one may create with a few keywords will not help (and likely will harm). That is, we do not want to have, say "Film soundtrack list of 2012", nor "2012 film Soundtrack list", nor "Soundtrack of 2012 film list", why keep this one just because someone, once, made that mistake? - Nabla (talk) 22:48, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete since this redirect is ambiguous, and I cannot fathom its usefulness if it were to be made a disambiguation page with two entries, but just in case, possibly weak disambiguate. I don't see the current target or retargeting as the answer due to ambiguity. Steel1943 (talk) 22:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 14:53, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Adult comedy isn't a synonym black/dark comedy, and the article doesn't mention it. There's nowhere else obvious to redirect this: adult comedy film was AfD'd in 2005 and now redirects to comedy film which has barely anything to say about it.

  • delete or retarget though some people call comedy not aimed at children that (ie. with political, language, sexuality, etc) -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 23:15, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as vague synonym. My Google search seems to imply that sex comedy is the closest synonym for this term but I don't have good cites to back it up.--Lenticel (talk) 03:18, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Linux Command: tar[edit]

The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 14:52, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This title looks like a Wikibooks title, plus unlikely search term. - TheChampionMan1234 10:22, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete unlikely redirect, incorrect disambiguation (which would be tar (linux command) -- so not useful -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 13:37, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Contrary to the two suppositions above, the evidence from the page views (15-40 every month since at least January) is that this is a very useful search term. It just needs tagging as {{R from other disambiguation}} so it can continue existing harmlessly and usefully as it has done since 2009. Someone familiar with the way Wikipedia disambiguates articles would probably not use this search term, but there are many people who have not internalised Wikipedia's naming conventions and/or may be entering this term into their favourite search engine not specifically looking for Wikipedia's content.

This is an R from member, but the target page doesn't mention this guy at all. It's unhelpful, misleading, and, because of the disambiguator, it's an implausible search term. The article was deleted in 2008 (see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ben King (actor)), but somehow the redirect remains. Tavix |  Talk  06:38, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, "YRP", as in this redirect, refers to the characters Yuna, Rikku, and Paine (as explained on the target page). However, there is not a section on this page dedicated to the acronym, so without explanation of the acronym on any page, readers unfamiliar with the subject will not understand why they were redirected here. For now, I say delete per WP:NOTWIKIA. Steel1943 (talk) 00:55, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Was redirected to Beyoncé in 2013 when it was speculated that Mrs. Carter might be the name of her fifth album, which ended up being titled Beyoncé. Mrs. Carter was never a confirmed name and is now an unlikely search term. –Chase (talk / contribs) 00:46, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
