Not mentioned in target, and vague otherwise. Either retarget to

Ocean dock does not exist.

- Retarget to
List of drugs: Tf-Th. thenium is an unlikely search term for rhenium or even for ruthenium, but it is a drug, possibly a notable one although not currently one with an article. The previous RfD tells us nothing and characterising it as "keep" is not helpful; it was closed as no consensus due to
WP:TRAINWRECK with nobody even mentioning thenium out of the dozens of nominated redirects.

- Keep Appears to be variant spelling of
Sureth which is also redirected to the same article. There are many ways words of non-English origin can be transliterated, and it would clutter the article if all of them are mentioned in an article, so I'm fine with it not being mentioned. People can create a Sarith & Surith article if the duo is notable, but I don't think that is relevant here; Sarith for example is also mentioned in other context. At the most consider turning it into a disambiguation page when a Sarith & Surith article has been created and there are also other similar-sounding articles.

- Replace redirect with {{
Talk page of redirect}} and the {{
Old RfD}} template for this discussion, per Tavix above, and per related recent
Wikipedia talk page
RfD discussions. This talk page probably didn't need to be created in 2010 just to add a WikiProject header, but it was. A hard redirect to the related target page's talk page is an equally plausible outcome, but the addition of the Old RfD template, linking to this discussion, and the soft redirect to the target page's talk page should be more useful in terms of at least giving future editors pause before hard redirecting or making other changes.

Amakuru. I agree with
Barkeep49's edit summary declining my
G6 that it's a borderline
G10. The age of the redirect means my preferred reason
R3 doesn't apply here, but so I'll just echo Amakuru's comment here that this is not a plausible typo for
Jimmy Wales in Main: namespace. It could be a typo for
User:Jimbo Wales, but we generally don't create redirects for users' userpages (at least not that I've seen; when we do, it's usually the user themselves that creates it). So, in short, we don't need this redirect.

This either needs retarget to

- Retarget to
Talk:Wikipedia per nom. As long as
Wiikipedia exists as a redirect from a misspelling, the corresponding talk page redirect should exist. Given the age of this talk page and its plausibility of being a misspelling or typographical error, I'm inclined to favour retaining it. Otherwise, there's probably little harm in deleting it except that it could easily be recreated.

- Should just
WP:BOLDly retarget to
Talk:Wikipedia to sync the talk page redirect with its corresponding article namespace redirect
Wiikipedia (I believe we even have bot-created reports that list talk page redirects that aren't synced with their cooresponding parent page), and move on. Oppose "delete" for the simple fact that this page exists, though I don't advocate creating unnecessary talk page redirects.

- @
Steel1943: I agree with you completely here. A bold retarget to
Talk:Wikipedia was likely all that was needed here. Noting Tavix' reply below, I actually prefer Tavix' suggestion in this case (and not just because I love soft redirected talk pages), but I think, in this case, having {{
Old RfD}} displayed prominently at the top of the soft redirected talk page actually makes a lot of sense for quick reversions of vandalism because the vandalism-patrolling editor can quickly reference the previous discussion and revert any present vandalism.

Didn't want to bundle this with the
Schedule II (Canada)
RfD discussion as it may have a different outcome but, equally importantly, its potential disambiguation links will be different, so this keeps the discussions separate. So, I'm recommending to delete-ing this redirect or, alternatively, to disambiguate-ing to potential U.S. federal and state Acts which have two or more schedules attached to them, per
WP:XY and/or
WP:R#D2.

Schedule 3 and
Schedule 2 as disambiguation pages, the latter of which mentions the applicable schedules of the U.S. and Canada drug control acts. So, I think retarget-ing this there will satisfy any ambiguity, and our naming conventions seem to be that we title our disambiguation pages using standard cardinal numerals as opposed to Roman numerals.

Noticed this redirect and believe it's ambiguous per
WP:R#D2 and/or
WP:XY as many federal, and provincial, Acts have schedules numbered in this way. There's no way the
Controlled Drugs and Substances Act is
primary topic over
Bank Act or, indeed, other Canadian or provincial Acts for which we have articles and which have two or more schedules attached to them. Thus, I'm recommending that we delete this redirect or, alternatively, to disambiguate it (if willing editors want to add potential disambiguation links below the current target; we already have two potential links to add).
