Very specific target for a rather vague redirect; there are probably other things this could refer to. {{3x|p}}ery ( talk) 03:37, 15 October 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep and refine or disambig The string of eight zeros is mentioned in the target article at Permissive Action Link#Development and dissemination - it is allegedly the current or former launch code for US intercontinental ballistic missiles. If there are other targets that this is a plausible search term for (a quick search didn't turn up anything likely) then it should be disambiguated, if not it should be refined to target the relevant section of the current target. Thryduulf ( talk) 11:04, 15 October 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete and show search results. First, the current target is not the WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT by usage. The US nuclear arsenal is obviously important, but the exact string of digits they're rumoured to use as the launch code is trivia, and no one reasonably expects to be brought to the target by typing in this string of digits. Second, every other mention of this string of digits in Wikipedia is equally trivial: uses in file formats, communications protocols, etc. Starting a manual list of all such WP:DABMENTION uses will result in worse outcomes for readers than simply showing the search results. Search results which do not require any intervention by editors in order to remain perfectly up-to-date, whereas disambiguation pages do. 59.149.124.29 ( talk) 13:13, 16 October 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. I agree with 59.149 that "no one reasonably expects to be brought to the target by typing in this string of digits" – or at least that it's very unlikely that someone would. This on its own isn't necessarily a reason to delete this – if there was substantial encyclopaedic content in the target and nothing on any similarly-named thing in any other article it might not be a problem. But in this case the mention is brief, quite trivial and very easy to miss when scanning the relevant section, so it's easy to imagine someone being taken to that section and being left, following a skim-read of the prose, none the wiser as to why. I also agree that "every other mention of this string of digits in Wikipedia is equally trivial", and no other article that mentions the string strikes me as something that would need to be listed on a disambiguation page. –  Arms & Hearts ( talk) 21:43, 16 October 2018 (UTC) reply
