• Tim Darcy (musician) → Jagjaguwar  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Tim Darcy's debut solo album was released earlier this year and fairly widely reviewed (see Metacritic). He seems likely to be notable per WP:MUSICIAN, so per WP:RDEL#10 this is better off as a redlink. If this isn't deleted, I think it should be retargeted Ought (band) – i.e. to the band of which he's a part, rather than the record label to which he's signed. –  Arms & Hearts ( talk) 22:07, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply

• Keep and retarget to Ought (band). I really don't understand the point of deleting redirects in most cases. I understand we have a page with listed reasons why, but in this case, the other article has more info on Darcy. I can't even recall why I created said redirect.

• Retarget to Ought (band), without prejudice against creation of a full article if one can be reliably sourced. If a musician doesn't have a BLP but a band he was in does, then the band is an appropriate redirect target until such time as a BLP of him actually exists — but he shouldn't just be a redirect to the record label that happened to release his solo album, especially if there's another target available that contains more information about him than just his name.

Apparently the station will be rebranding however no sources confirm this as of yet and as such this is more or less WP:CRYSTAL, Station's never been known as "The Breeze" and as I said no sources indicate this is happening so IMHO it should be deleted for now and if sources crop up then it can be re-moved at a later date, Thanks, – Davey2010 ^Talk 14:27, 16 August 2017 (UTC) reply

• Delete. If and when reliable sources confirm that this is actually happening, then the article will get moved to the new title accordingly — but there's no need for a redirect from a rumoured but as yet unverifiable future branding change to the existing title.

The result of the discussion was Essentially wrong venue. This current WP:DABNAME violation is the result of a bit of an edit war between a couple of editors. I recently fulfilled a technical move request to revert an undiscussed move to move the video game to a title with a disambiguator. In addition, the move of the video game article broke links to the video game subject's GA nominations since the subpages of "Talk:Blue Dragon" were not moved with it after adding the disambiguator "(video game)" to its title. I'm going to revert the move and procedurally start a move request for this (which really should have been done in the first place since AngusWOOF requested the WP:BOLD move reverted.) I will link the move request here after I create it. ( non-admin closure) Steel1943 ( talk) 14:46, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply

• Blue Dragon → Blue Dragon (video game)  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Blue Dragon was primary topic for the video game since 2006 and was rated as a good article. Recently an editor has renamed Blue Dragon to Blue Dragon (video game) and moved Blue Dragon (disambiguation) page to Blue Dragon without discussion, and although I tried to WP:RM/TR it back, the editor moved it again. This discussion is to confirm whether Blue Dragon video game should still be primary topic or whether it is time for the (video game) page, and Blue Dragon to be the dab page. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 13:39, 24 August 2017 (UTC) updated 14:15, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply

• Given the other potential topics for "Blue Dragon", I would disagree that indefinitely the video game will remain the primary target over time. It makes sense to have the disam page as the primary target for "Blue Dragon". -- MASEM ( t) 13:47, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply

• Comment We should also discuss the fate of Blue dragon, Blue dragons, Blue Dragons, which I believe should go to the dab page. If the video game is still primary topic then Blue dragon (lower case d) should be the name of the dab page. Consider Cold case and Cold Case and Cold Case (disambiguation). But if they all go to the dab page that's an option too. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 14:24, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply

• Nominator comment: Seems this redirect may have a connection with the article Yankee Doodle Daffy. Seems the character Daffy was impersonating in that article's subject was named "Sleepy". (However, at the present time, I'm not convinced that this redirect should be retargeted there, but I am not opposed to that happening either.) Steel1943 ( talk) 05:04, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete. The character he was impersonating in Yankee Doodle Daffy was named Sleepy Lagoon, not Sleepy Daffy, so I can't see any plausible reason why anybody would type "Sleepy Daffy" into the search bar to find him. Bearcat ( talk) 19:45, 27 August 2017 (UTC) reply

I checked the creator's edit history to see if I could suss out a reason for this, and found that their last four Wikipedia edits ever were this, Luke Pugh → Eddie Munster, Greg McManus → Philadelphia (film) and Norma Byrne → Alice Cooper, all of which suffer from the exact same problem of lacking any identifiable or sourceable reason to exist at all.

I'm not able to validate if this redirect is in a different language. But, then again, using third party engines, I was not able to verify that the redirect has any specific connection to virtually any subject. Steel1943 ( talk) 04:36, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply

• Delete per nom. "Bobba" is apparently a Swedish word meaning "bob" (as the sense of bobbing ducks) and an Old Frisian word meaning "child" (related to the English "babe") both of which are quite plausibly related to anthropomorphic cartoon ducks, but the word does not appear in the Swedish Wikipedia article about Duck Tales which seems to have been called "Ankliv" or "Knatte, Fnatte och Tjatte på äventyr" in Swedish. None of the West Frisian, North Frisian or Saterland Frisian wikipedias have an article, but I'd be surprised if the cartoon had be dubbed or translated into those languages.

• Delete BHG is correct, cross-namespace redirects like this are typically deleted, per WP:R#DELETE. BJB, you are referring to the CSD criterion R2, which is not being invoked here and is not relevant. If CHG had made a CSD tagging to the page, you'd have a point. She didn't, she nominated it for discussion here in line with policy on redirects. EdChem ( talk) 13:50, 22 July 2017 (UTC) reply
• I'd say either delete or retarget to National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, which has a list of hazardous air pollutants (as defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). Either way, I don't think the current cross-namespace redirect should stay. -- Notecardforfree ( talk) 19:25, 25 July 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep per Bosley John Bosley. Mainspace-to-category redirects are excluded from R2 because they're often useful, and this is one of those cases. Both mainspace and content categories, like this one, are reader-facing, and if you go to /info/en/?search=Hazardous_air_pollutants, you're taken directly to a page that help you get information on these pollutants.

• Retarget to Air pollution, where Air pollutants points. Could you really have non-hazardous pollutants? I'm extremely wary of retargeting to a list defined by the EPA (cf. WP:INUSA) unless it can be demonstrated that it has international acceptance. -- BDD ( talk) 20:39, 23 August 2017 (UTC) reply

• Keep per Nyttend or regarget to Air pollution per BDD. I oppose a redirect to the EPA list as there is no indication that relates to any country other than the United States, which not infrequently categories hazardous substances differently to the EU for example and India is often different again (let alone any other countries). Thryduulf ( talk) 13:15, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply
• Retarget per BDD. The redirect to a category is not a problem in itself, but in this case there's an article which makes a better target. I also agree that redirecting this term, which is not geographically specific, to the U.S. standard is a poor solution. –  Arms & Hearts ( talk) 20:37, 27 August 2017 (UTC) reply
