Template:GGAV Media Corporation

- Template:GGAV Media Corporation → GGAV Media Corporation ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
This cross-namespace redirect appears to be a remnant of a move of an article that was erroneously created in the template namespace. Somehow, it has existed for seven years; despite this; I can't really see a need for this redirect (given the purpose of templates, there's rarely if ever a need for a redirect from that namespace to the mainspace). It's probably best to delete it. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 22:05, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. I'm not sufficiently sure that this was created in the wrong namespace in error to speedy delete this (would be a G6 candidate), rather than as a misapprehension of a new editor. However, the nominator is right that the page is not needed. Thryduulf ( talk) 22:37, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

- Iota Ursae Minoris → 11 Ursae Minoris ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
The redirect name is not a star, not a synonym of 11 UMi, and not a likely typo or mis-spelling. It is just confusing place to send anyone that starts typing iota, perhaps wanting iota Ursae Majoris or something entirely unrelated. Lithopsian ( talk) 20:18, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Not mentioned on target page - can not see the connection Peter Rehse ( talk) 11:10, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
- Retarget to List of programs broadcast by Cartoon Network#Programming blocks, where it's mentioned as a former programming block. - Eureka Lott 15:55, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

United States capital
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was no consensus. There are decent arguments for moving the disambiguation over the redirect and for keeping the redirect, and they happen to be split right down the middle. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 17:10, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
- United States capital → Washington, D.C. ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Move United States capital (disambiguation) over redirect, perhaps? Nominated via Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2017_January_25#Georgia_capital, note that there is a hatnote at target, but the disambig isn't linked. - CHAMPION ( talk) ( contributions) ( logs) 00:08, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Not sure I agree. Regardless, United States capital (disambiguation) should be linked from a hatnote at Washington, D.C. if it is to exist. Mark Schierbecker ( talk) 00:23, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Move over redirect. I don't think there's a primary topic. WP:SMALLDETAILS might be a case for the status quo, but they're homonyms. If I were to aurally hear the phrase "United States capit[a,o]l", I would instantly think of the United States capitol. When referring to the capital city, "Capital of the United States" would be the most common phrase. -- Tavix ( talk) 18:14, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Keep readers are looking for Washington DC, but yes, a hatnote could be added if they want variants. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 20:56, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Move over redirect. A reader searching for this phrase probably wants a quick answer to the question "Where is the capital of the United States?". The disambiguation page answers the reader more directly than the article. Alternatively they might have thought "Capitol" was spelled "Capital", which is also served succinctly by the disambig page. Deryck C. 17:07, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep DC is the United States capital. The hatnote is sufficient to deal with confusion. -- BDD ( talk) 20:21, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Uanfala (talk) 00:37, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
- Move disambig over redirect. I would personally think that United States Capitol is slightly more likely than Washington, D.C. but not sufficiently for it to be a primary topic - especially considering the range of views in this discussion. Thryduulf ( talk) 12:49, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - The status quo seems reasonable enough. CoffeeWithMarkets ( talk) 10:35, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Love trumps hate

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Protests against Donald Trump. -- Tavix ( talk) 22:58, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
- Love trumps hate → Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016 ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
- Love Trumps Hate → Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016#Protests ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Both should point to the same target. I don't know which one is better or if either is appropriate. - CHAMPION ( talk) ( contributions) ( logs) 03:34, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- They shouldn't point to Hillary Clinton, this was not her campaign slogan. It therefore would make sense to target both at the article on the many protests that have used this slogan. Beeblebrox ( talk) 05:00, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- Actually it was tweeted by Hillary in December 2015 and misquoted soon afterwards [1] but is related to the whole Muslim ban topic, so it could possibly go to Immigration policy of Donald Trump per WP:RECENTISM and most likely slogan association. Whichever page it lands on should have an explanation of the tweet. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 16:03, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- Retarget to Protests against Donald Trump. This slogan featured on many placards at both the 21 and 30 January protests in London for example. Thryduulf ( talk) 01:20, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Uanfala (talk) 00:21, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
