Implausibble redirect. It's redirecting to the game Mario - has no connection to the game, and further, English keyboards do not have omlat's (the diacritic mark over the "O" ) available. May work on the German language wikipedia - but not here. Delete Kosh Vorlon} 13:53, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- Disambig. LÖVE is a game engine, used by several games not just the one at the current target, so regardless of anything else it would need retargetting. It does have an entry at
List of game engines, but it is not linked there perhaps suggesting it is not notable enough for an article (I have no idea, but I'll ping the video games project). However it is also the surname of husband and wife botanists
Áskell Löve and
Doris Löve. None of these have a current entry at
Love (disambiguation) or
Love (surname) but I think they possibly should.

- Comment I've actually tried to remove it from List of game engines in the past but was reverted on basis of some sourcing existing. However it seems to remain non-notable. -- ferret ( talk) 14:19, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- Keep People often search for things using copy/paste (ünd the ümlaut is, in fact, quite easily accessible on UK keyboards (spelling errors deliberate there)). LÖVE is mentioned at the target, in the lede, as the framework on which the game was developed - so there clearly is a connection. Unless there's a better target, I see no problem with this redirect.

- My point is that it is not worth mentioning in the article and is a minor point to the game altogether. The reference currently in the article is not reliable, and the content would usually be removed with it. Moot point, as it looks like the decision to disambig is the right one here

- Disambig - the two botanists are major phenomena and they are often referred to in publications by the brief form "Löve". (Although their official abbreviations are "A.Löve" and "D.Löve" respectively, official abbreviations are a new phenomenon that has not been followed in the past.) Since the game was apparently build using the software, it could serve as a third entry in the disambig, a place-holder to be altered if and when the software becomes notable enough to have its own page. Sminthopsis84 ( talk) 16:07, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- Keep as primary topic and a "redirects here", but add hatnote to Love (disambiguation). Add this entry to the dab, as well as the botanists to the Love (surname) AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 18:48, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- Disambiguate A web search (RS or not) shows it is searchable term, but whether it is presented in all caps or not is inconsistent. As there is the surname of Löve, a non-notable but reasonable search term should not take priority over real notable persons names. Whether this is a Löve disambiguration page or added to Love's disamb page, I'm not sure (or if both should apply). Either way, this redirect should not be kept as is. -- MASEM ( t) 22:37, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- Retarget to the to-be-made disambiguation page. All-caps, especially for shorter phrases, is a reasonable redirect for a normal-caps page, and I don't see how anyone could question that there should be a disambiguation page covering "Löve", either an entire page or a section of another disambiguation page. Just redirect this title to whatever that page is. Nyttend ( talk) 23:16, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

- List of U.S. Cold War power plays → Timeline of United States military operations ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Redirects don't need to be neutral, but they do need to be helpful. Nothing at the target article distinguishes which events are "considered imperialistic", or would qualify as a "Cold War power play" (actually, I was surprised to see no explicit mention of the Cold War there). Additionally, there are plenty of non-military US actions since 1945 that have been considered imperialistic, so we're really not serving readers looking for that topic anyway. -- BDD ( talk) 21:02, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- Comment American imperialism is a possible target for the first redirect. It doesn't contain such a list, and covers a broader time period, but it and the linked articles are broadly helpful. Thryduulf ( talk) 00:59, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
- Delete both non-neutral and non-specific terms. No such list of actions and whether the full list of U.S. military operations are considered imperialistic or whatever is POV / OR. A military power play term is also not defined. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 01:09, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
- Delete both per AngusWOOF. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 13:01, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
- Delete both - It's one thing to be merely non-neutral. The fundamental problem here is that both redirects use awkward wording. Someone interested in debates about ' American imperialism' will search just that, not typing in the peculiar "that have been considered imperialistic".

- Retarget so that 'Queen Elizabeth of England' and 'Queene Elisabeth of England' go to '
Queen Elizabeth#Queens regnant'. I'm not sure on the other ones. 'Elizabeth of England' seems like something that I'd rather we just delete. It doesn't specify anything royal and could refer to any number of people by that name.

Unsure whether this should stay redirected to the stub article, or made back into a disambiguation page.

Retarget While the target article does discuss the idea of "holiday tree" as a euphemism or alternate name for a Christmas tree, ultimately, a holiday tree is a Christmas tree. The term is used in that article too, and there's a link to the controversy page, so users will still be able to find that information if desired. The correct answer to "What's a holiday tree?" is "It's a Christmas tree." Not "Well, you see, some people say 'holiday tree', and it's part of this controversy..." -- BDD ( talk) 17:12, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

- Retarget to Christmas_tree#Religious_issues as that is where the term holiday tree, and other tree name alternatives are discussed, including some secularization in the 1930s.

Delete bothas vague. Deryck C. 11:26, 18 January 2017 (UTC)- Restore as SIA per Tavix. @ BDD and AngusWOOF: What do you think about this option? Deryck C. 17:16, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- Concerned about WP:OR. That seems to assert that there's a category of things called "holiday trees". New Year trees and "Hanukkah bushes" are indeed trees associated with a holiday, but does anyone else talk about an overarching concept of "holiday trees"? The phrase is actually used at Hanukkah bush, but definitely in that same context as a euphemism for a Christmas tree.
- Rather, I still maintain the reality is as follows: there's a thing we call "Christmas tree", notwithstanding its pagan origins. For various reasons, the trees are called different things when there's a desire to deemphasize Christmas, whether in the spirit of inclusion (holiday tree), syncretism (Hanukkah bush), or government pressure (New Year tree). All of those alternate forms, or alternate names, are still discussed at the Christmas tree article, so it's the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here. -- BDD ( talk) 17:23, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- Revert to this version, and tag as a SIA. I would've guessed the same thing as BDD until I looked into it further. -- Tavix ( talk) 16:14, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise though. 21:06, 21 December 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thryduulf ( talk • contribs)
- Weak Delete - Even if this gets some hits, the wording isn't used in the target article at all, and it also doesn't seem to quite make sense. I'd rather we just get rid of it.

Implausibble redirect. It's redirecting to the game Mario - has no connection to the game, and further, English keyboards do not have omlat's (the diacritic mark over the "O" ) available. May work on the German language wikipedia - but not here. Delete Kosh Vorlon} 13:53, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- Disambig. LÖVE is a game engine, used by several games not just the one at the current target, so regardless of anything else it would need retargetting. It does have an entry at
List of game engines, but it is not linked there perhaps suggesting it is not notable enough for an article (I have no idea, but I'll ping the video games project). However it is also the surname of husband and wife botanists
Áskell Löve and
Doris Löve. None of these have a current entry at
Love (disambiguation) or
Love (surname) but I think they possibly should.

- Keep People often search for things using copy/paste (ünd the ümlaut is, in fact, quite easily accessible on UK keyboards (spelling errors deliberate there)). LÖVE is mentioned at the target, in the lede, as the framework on which the game was developed - so there clearly is a connection. Unless there's a better target, I see no problem with this redirect.

- Disambig - the two botanists are major phenomena and they are often referred to in publications by the brief form "Löve". (Although their official abbreviations are "A.Löve" and "D.Löve" respectively, official abbreviations are a new phenomenon that has not been followed in the past.) Since the game was apparently build using the software, it could serve as a third entry in the disambig, a place-holder to be altered if and when the software becomes notable enough to have its own page.

- Disambiguate A web search (RS or not) shows it is searchable term, but whether it is presented in all caps or not is inconsistent. As there is the surname of Löve, a non-notable but reasonable search term should not take priority over real notable persons names. Whether this is a Löve disambiguration page or added to Love's disamb page, I'm not sure (or if both should apply). Either way, this redirect should not be kept as is. -- MASEM ( t) 22:37, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- Retarget to the to-be-made disambiguation page. All-caps, especially for shorter phrases, is a reasonable redirect for a normal-caps page, and I don't see how anyone could question that there should be a disambiguation page covering "Löve", either an entire page or a section of another disambiguation page. Just redirect this title to whatever that page is. Nyttend ( talk) 23:16, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Redirects don't need to be neutral, but they do need to be helpful. Nothing at the target article distinguishes which events are "considered imperialistic", or would qualify as a "Cold War power play" (actually, I was surprised to see no explicit mention of the Cold War there).

- Keep' and remove the hatnote as the nickname does look a bit suspicious and a brief google books search doesn't come up with anything. If this gets sourced at some point, then the dab page could be restored. – Uanfala (talk) 23:54, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Retarget While the target article does discuss the idea of "holiday tree" as a euphemism or alternate name for a Christmas tree, ultimately, a holiday tree is a Christmas tree. The term is used in that article too, and there's a link to the controversy page, so users will still be able to find that information if desired. The correct answer to "What's a holiday tree?" is "It's a Christmas tree." Not "Well, you see, some people say 'holiday tree', and it's part of this controversy..." -- BDD ( talk) 17:12, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

- Retarget to Christmas_tree#Religious_issues as that is where the term holiday tree, and other tree name alternatives are discussed, including some secularization in the 1930s. A hatnote "see also" to the controversies section may also be useful. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 05:21, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
Delete bothas vague. Deryck C. 11:26, 18 January 2017 (UTC)- Restore as SIA per Tavix. @ BDD and AngusWOOF: What do you think about this option? Deryck C. 17:16, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- Concerned about WP:OR. That seems to assert that there's a category of things called "holiday trees". New Year trees and "Hanukkah bushes" are indeed trees associated with a holiday, but does anyone else talk about an overarching concept of "holiday trees"? The phrase is actually used at Hanukkah bush, but definitely in that same context as a euphemism for a Christmas tree.
- Rather, I still maintain the reality is as follows: there's a thing we call "Christmas tree", notwithstanding its pagan origins. For various reasons, the trees are called different things when there's a desire to deemphasize Christmas, whether in the spirit of inclusion (holiday tree), syncretism (Hanukkah bush), or government pressure (New Year tree). All of those alternate forms, or alternate names, are still discussed at the Christmas tree article, so it's the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here. -- BDD ( talk) 17:23, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- Revert to this version, and tag as a SIA. I would've guessed the same thing as BDD until I looked into it further. -- Tavix ( talk) 16:14, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was Delete. I'm closing this despite being involved, as I'm the only one not recommending deletion and I feel the three other delete recommendations + the nomination outweigh my weak keep. I don't think a second relisting will result in more arguments in favour of keeping, but if I'm wrong I'll happily restore this and trout myself (just leave a note on my talk page).

- The Billionaires' Tea Party → Tea Party movement ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Not a common phrase, not used in the target article. BDD ( talk) 20:50, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- Weak Keep this gets a large number of hits, up to 8 a day recently, and is the name of a 2011 documentary [2] that a cursory search suggests is probably not notable, so a redlink may encourage the creation of an article we don't want. I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise though. 21:06, 21 December 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thryduulf ( talk • contribs)
- Weak Delete - Even if this gets some hits, the wording isn't used in the target article at all, and it also doesn't seem to quite make sense. I'd rather we just get rid of it. After all, anyone interested in the 'Tea party protests' will immediately find that from searching. CoffeeWithMarkets ( talk) 07:09, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. Someone searching this specific phrase is more likely than not wanting the 2011 documentary or more information about that phrase. I don't think an overview article on the Tea Party movement would be satisfactory. -- Tavix ( talk) 19:12, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

- Rock(music) → Rock music ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
WP:COSTLY redirect due the lack of a space between the subject name and the disambiguator. Also, Rock (music) exists. Steel1943 ( talk) 00:07, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- Delete: there's no need for a redirect merely to correct uncommon punctuation mistakes. DrStrauss talk 09:03, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as per the above CoffeeWithMarkets ( talk) 16:08, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- Delete punctuation, and not useful. If someone's going to skip the space on their device they wouldn't bother typing in the parenthesis which is a lot more effort, especially if it's going to redirect to "Rock music" anyway. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 17:38, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

- Note: I created this redirect many years ago as a part of
Wikipedia:WikiProject Red Link Recovery, where any red links that were used in a few articles, I generally fixed the links, and any with more than that I created a redirect. There were still three articles using this redirect, but I just fixed the links and am unopposed to this redirect being deleted.
