• I don't see that policy as forbidding or even arguing against the redirect. For one thing, redirects are intentionally not held to the same standards of NPOV as article titles or content. For another, the article itself deals with exactly the ambiguity Champion worries about. I can think of no better destination for this redirect. Finally, the redirect is coming up on 10 years old. Even if you successfully orphaned it (unlikely given the several articles where it is used), there would still be a high likelihood of external links. Keep.

I understand Spirit Ethanol objects to the accuracy of this redirect, but the fact remains that some people will be looking for this topic using that label; it's no more neutral than Palestinian freedom fighters but we should have redirects from both. —  LlywelynII 00:00, 12 February 2016 (UTC) reply
• Comment. We also have Palestinian Terrorism, Palestinian terrorism, Palestinian terrorist, Palestinian terrorism and militancy, Palestinian political terrorism (a bit of a tautology I would have thought; terrorism is always political isn't it?) and Palestinian terror.

Less clear-cut are Palestinian infiltrators, Palestinian militants and Palestinian resistance. I've listed the first at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016_February_12#Palestinian infiltrators since I can't see that infiltration is synonymous with political violence. Si Trew ( talk) 03:27, 12 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• Oxford Middle School → Blue Valley USD 229  ( links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

This is not a great target for this redirect, as there are multiple "Oxford Middle School"s in Kansas alone, therefore if someone is searching for Oxford Middle School, or an article links to Oxford Middle School, it is entirely unclear that Blue Valley USD 229 is where they should end up. That said, the redirect started out as an article on the middle school in Blue Valley, and I'd hate for the history to be deleted along with the improper redirect. Meanwhile, given WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, I don't think turning it into a DAB page is necessarily the best solution either. I'm somewhat at a loss. ~ ONUnicorn^{( Talk| Contribs)} problem solving 20:18, 18 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete per WP:RFD#D2 confusing, no mention at target beyond its name in a list, in section #Middle schools. I've {{ R to section}}ed it there for now. All the other schools in that section bar one – Blue Valley Middle School, Harmony Middle School, Lakewood Middle School, Leawood Middle School, Overland Trail Middle School, Prairie Star Middle School and Pleasant Ridge Middle School – also redirect there; Aubry Bend Middle School, for some reason, was left out, and to my total lack of surprise the first two search results for it are first, Blue Valley Southwest High School, for which it is a feeder, and second, the target of all these. So I imagine if we deleted them, they would be just as prominent in the search results.

I'm not worried about the history because it will be preserved in the deletion log. For if it were not, we could never delete anything' because of CC-SA.

So do Cottonwood Point Elementary School, Blue River Elementary School, Harmony Elementary School, Heartland Elementary School, Indian Valley Elementary School, Stanley Elementary School (Overland Park, Kansas), Stilwell Elementary School, Prairie Star Elementary School, Sunset Ridge Elementary School, Morse Elementary School, and Oak Hill Elementary School. I can't believe that were these deleted, folks would not be able to find the article on the school district using the search tool.

WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is about articles not redirects, and it is perhaps plausible there could be a section in this article about each of these schools: but there isn't at the moment. That would be a bit like creating a page called " List of articles we don't have" and redirecting any redlink we wanted to an entry on it: there is a reason for WP:REDLINK. (Of course, we do have lists like that, but not in the main namespace).

Tellingly, Stanley Elementary School is a DAB with four red entries, one entry for Stanley, New Brunswick which doesn't mention Stanley Elementary School, and Stanley Elementary School (Overland Park, Kansas) → Blue Valley USD 229 as the only "legit" entry. And, perhaps to nobody's surprise, its use on the DAB page is the only link it's got. So really there should only be one entry at that DAB... Si Trew ( talk) 21:28, 18 February 2016 (UTC) reply

I can confirm that there is a Stanley Elementary School in Stanley, New Brunswick. But there is not an Oxford Middle School there. The closest is Oxford School in Halifax, NS, about 500 kilometres (310 mi) away. There's also a closed Oxford Regional High School in Oxford, NS, but it's closed. There is no Stanley Middle School in Oxford, either. Wait, what are we talking about? Ivanvector 🍁 ( talk) 23:40, 18 February 2016 (UTC) reply

Sorry, I mentioned these others as they fit the same pattern but did not want formally to nominate them until we have consensus for this.

• Delete, I think, per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. I know it doesn't really apply to redirects, but it does say that middle schools are unlikely to be notable unless they meet WP:GNG, and so either redirecting to a(ny) school district that happens to have a non-notable Oxford Middle School, or creating a disambiguation list of redlinks to Oxford Middle Schools, is pointless, so just delete it.

• British politician sex → Profumo affair  ( links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

It doesn't seem as though the redirect refers to the target in the least, and I don't think there is any way for this redirect to return a WP:SURPRISE if retargeted anywhere else. Steel1943 ( talk) 16:00, 10 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep It's the phrase used for the affair in Billy Joel's " We Didn't Start the Fire". I haven't heard of the "Profumo affair", but I didn't know what "British politician sex" was referring to before either. I'd probably go to the song page first if I wanted to find out, but this seems valid too, precisely because it's an unlikely enough search term for anything else. We have a category for British political sex scandals, but no list. -- BDD ( talk) 16:18, 10 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• ( edit conflict) Hmm ... I think some sort of spin on WP:NOTLYRICS may apply here. For one, it doesn't seem that this actual term has a notable connection to the affair other than the song. When I look up the redirect on a search engine, the first 5-or-so results are about this, but the target article is one of the top 2, making me think that the results are a bit "fabricated" due to the Wikipedia connection. In addition, other British politician scandals did appear in the top 10 that were not related to the current target, so there could be a bit of an ambiguous issue here. This is one of the few cases where I would say "sure, this is a vague ambiguous title that could refer to this event, but it's not helpful since it's a bit too ambiguous". That, if I recall the song (knowing a bit about Billy Joel songs myself), in that song, he used several ambiguous phrases for specific events that one would not really understand what they referred to without watching the song's music video. So ... does that make all other vague connections in this song notable enough to warrant redirects? Steel1943 ( talk) 16:27, 10 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• Retarget to We Didn't Start the Fire#1963 unless there's other notable usage. That way, the context of the quote is preserved and readers are one click away from knowing more about the affair if they so desire. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 16:24, 10 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete - There are far too many sexual escapes related to people in power in Great Britain over the years for this to work as a clear-cut case, I think, and it's problematic already to use song lyrics, even from an admittedly really well-known track, as a redirect. We should keep in mind the spirit of WP:NOTLYRICS even if the exact case is unusual. That other redirects exist related to the song doesn't mean anything; an error is still an error even if it's compounded. As well, something like ' Trouble in the Suez' is an interesting contrast because there is one central, prominent ' Suez' out there while British politicians (and American politicians, Canadian politicians, etc) are a dime a dozen. CoffeeWithMarkets ( talk) 07:29, 13 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• Retarget to We Didn't Start the Fire#1963 per Tavix. The phrase is not explained at the article about the affair, making it a WP:SURPRISE. Ivanvector 🍁 ( talk) 22:21, 18 February 2016 (UTC) reply
• Retarget to List of British political scandals, to which British political scandal targets, and various sex scandals are listed there; although Profumo's entry doesn't include the word "sex" (or any word derived from it). I'm not convinced someone searching for this would particularly want the song lyrics, and I agree the gsearch results may be skewed by the fact that these words exactly appear in the target: piped, as it happens, to Profumo affair.

There's no source there to assert that these lyrics actually do refer to the Profumo affair.

In a similar and somewhat connected case, when Lord Astor denied having even met Mandy Rice-Davies, she replied " He would, wouldn't he? "– there's a whole section in the article about that, but we don't have a redirect for it. I'm aware WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST. Si Trew ( talk) 06:02, 21 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep all. Unlike the Canadian and Mississippi Rivers, these aren't capitalised; people aren't going to see "Arkansas state park" as an implication that there's a state park named "Arkansas State Park". This is just another version of {{ R from singular}}. If we had those lists at "Arkansas state parks", "Montana state parks", etc., rather than them being the redirects mentioned in the nomination statement, I don't imagine that people would object, and these are reasonable variants of those titles. So basically, if "As" redirects to "List of As", and if "A" is a reasonable redirect to "As", it's a reasonable redirect to "List of As".

I'm not sure if this is the point you are making, but redirects that are exact matches (case, diacrtitic and punctuation insensitive) prevent people from getting search suggestions (results): they go straight through the redirect.

The result of the discussion was resolved. As stated in this discussion, the resolution for the nominator's concern did not require deletion of the redirect (no agree image was wrapped in "noinclude" tags on the article which it is placed), so the need for a resolution, as stated in the nomination statement, has now been fulfilled.

• Portal:Organized Labour/February/18/Selected article → International Labour Organization  ( links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

This redirect causes the inclusion of a non-free image, File:ILO English Logo.png, on the page Portal:Organized Labour, which is a violation of WP:NFCC#9. Stefan2 ( talk) 14:57, 18 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• That's an interesting problem. Is NFCC#9 violated even though it's clear that the portal is transcluding a page on which the image is approved for use? Also, won't this problem resolve itself in 9 hours or so? Ivanvector 🍁 ( talk) 15:12, 18 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • The file is permitted on the page International Labour Organization but not on the page Portal:Organized Labour. This means that it isn't permitted to transclude the page International Labour Organization on the page Portal:Organized Labour. The problem might be resolved in nine hours, but it will re-appear the next time a page containing a non-free image is transcluded at Portal:Organized Labour. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 15:21, 18 February 2016 (UTC) reply
• Keep I have added <noinclude>...</noinclude> to the article so that the non-free image is not displayed in the portal. -- John of Reading ( talk) 15:18, 18 February 2016 (UTC) reply

That's a decent solution. I've also asked about this here, to get a sense of best practice in case this comes up again. Ivanvector 🍁 ( talk) 15:22, 18 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep per John of Reading's solution, the current issue seems to be dealt with. Rather, it seems to be an issue that deleting the redirect doesn't solve. Ivanvector 🍁 ( talk) 15:32, 18 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• Qazi Halb Burhan-ud-din → Burhan al-Din al-Marghinani  ( links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Deletion per WP:RFD#DELETE #2 and #5. The original creator seems to have mixed up names. The redirect wrote the Sirat al-Halbiya and according to this source, the redirect's correct name is Ali ibn Burhan al-Din al-Halabi, which supports the title of his book (lit. "the Halabian's hagiography"). Note #4 on page 181 says that he is a 16th century Shafi'i jurist from Cairo. The target, on the other hand, is a 12th century Hanafi jurist from Central Asia. Considering that there is no other article to redirect to, I propose a deletion to fix this confusion. HyperGaruda ( talk) 08:50, 18 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete per WP:RFD#D5, nonsense. Si Trew ( talk) 06:13, 21 February 2016 (UTC) reply
