• Weak delete over retargeting to List of judo organizations#continent to help the significant amount of readers who come here. That specific section helps the readers because of the links that point to this redirect; readers are more likely to know nothing about the Judo Union of Asia if they come through a link I think, and the knowledge that the redirect is a continental body would benefit them.

While "language groups" would be specific, simply using "groups" to describe language families means that this titles could be ambiguous. These are likely search terms, so I would assume that retargeting is the best outcome. I would also presume that each of these titles might have different outcomes; "Gaelic groups" are much less ambiguous than "German groups", as "Gaelic" is more commonly associated with the language.

• Delete all - I agree. The inherent vagueness with labeling something as "German" and "Germanic" makes these not worth keeping.

• Delete or retarget to category:American sprinters (but adding a few sentences of prose to the description there would be preferable). We don't seem to have any appropriate articles I can find, we don't even have a list of sprinters although we do have List of middle-distance runners, list of long-distance runners and list of marathoners. The contents of Category:Lists of track and field athletes and subcategories are also (surprisingly to me) very sparse, it seems there is a low correlation between Wikipedia editors interested in making and curating lists and Wikipedia editors interested in sprinting.

• Retarget to Home page per nom as the most proper target for the redirect as an encyclopedic search term. Since Main page cannot have a hatnote and there are readers who may not have knowledge of how to navigate to Home page if they search HomePage first with the current configuration, retargeting is the most proper way to go. For this reason, the hatnote currently on Home page that directs readers to Main page is sufficient after this proposed retarget. (FWIW, Hog Farm, this redirect is technically not a WP:CNR; Main page is technically in the article namespace as it has no namespace prefix.) Steel1943 ( talk) 18:38, 19 March 2020 (UTC) reply
• What's the argument for "keep" versus "retarget"? Retargeting doesn't do anything to the page history, right? Asking in case there's something I'm missing. (Cool thing to look at: Wikipedia:UuU, which was originally at UuU.) -- 47.146.63.87 ( talk) 19:46, 19 March 2020 (UTC) reply

• Yeah, I think the Keep !votes are missing that no one has proposed "Delete"; in RfD, although in many (most?) cases, the proposal is to delete, the D actually stands for "discussion" and that's on-pont here.

I personally am torn so provide no opinion on the redirect's disposition. On the one hand, I would have it point to home page, but an awful lot of links in ancient discussions would break and make no sense were it to be changed. TJRC ( talk) 20:00, 19 March 2020 (UTC) reply

• Like TJRC said, retargeting would break old links (not just on talk pages, but in articles too). And it just seems wrong to break the link between this and the modern-day Main Page because it's such a fundamental part of Wikipedia history. SpicyMilkBoy ( talk) 20:20, 19 March 2020 (UTC) reply

@ TJRC and SpicyMilkBoy: For what it's worth, at RfD, "keep" can be considered short for "keep as is", so voting "keep" is perfectly fine in respect to leaving the redirect as is.

• Retarget. While we should always be careful not to break links, especially old links, unnecessarily we do need to balance that with accessibility of current uses. In this specific case there is a hatnote at home page leading to the main page but one in the other direction would not be appropriate, so the balance imo is clearly in favour of the retargetting.

• Savage (Judad Priest song) → Stained Class  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Unlikely typo for a redirect from song created in the process of making way for a more notable song titled Savage. It doesn't look like any of the content in this redirect's edit history was used anywhere, so I would suggest deletion. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:33, 26 March 2020 (UTC) reply

• Keep, Savage is a track on the album. The redirect doesn't seem to be misleading or even particularly unlikely. The redirect Savage (song), now re-targeted, received a steady trickle of visitors, although possibly they were looking for a different song. If there were no redirect for "Savage (something)" it would seem to be desirable to create one, and "Savage (song)" may not be available as a title any more.

The result of the discussion was withdrawn.. Thanks everyone for their input. I am now convinced that this term is not exclusively associated with American Chinese cuisine. This may have potential for its own article, as it's not exclusively served in Chinese restaurants. (non-admin closure) feminist ( talk) 03:30, 29 March 2020 (UTC) reply

• Chinese takeout → Chinese restaurant  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Retarget to American Chinese cuisine. The term "takeout" is exclusively used in American English; the term "takeaway" is used in British English. The term "Chinese takeout" refers particularly to the type of American Chinese cuisine sold in disposable containers, not Chinese restaurants in general. feminist ( talk) 05:50, 26 March 2020 (UTC) reply

• The phrase also applies to Canadian Chinese cuisine. -- BDD ( talk) 13:30, 26 March 2020 (UTC) reply
• While "takeaway" is indeed more common in British English, "takeout" is also used and a quick google suggests it is also used in Australia so I would oppose pointing this to an article relating to a single country. Thryduulf ( talk) 16:23, 26 March 2020 (UTC) reply
• Non-native English speakers do not distinguish between the words takeout and takeaway. Please do not confuse us. Chinese cuisine is sold in disposable containers all over the world, while conversely, American Chinese cuisine is also served in restaurants. The two terms simply do not match. –  gpvos  (talk) 18:05, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
• Comment. My personal experience says that "takeout" is used in UK even if less common than "takeaway". The word is not country-specific. Narky Blert ( talk) 10:04, 27 March 2020 (UTC) reply
• Keep - "Takeout", as stated above, is associated with American English in this context but far from exclusive as well. I'd rather that we just leave things alone. CoffeeWithMarkets ( talk) 06:50, 28 March 2020 (UTC) reply

• Template:User GoogleChrome2 → Template:User GoogleChrome  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

This userbox was observed to be substantially similar to the target, and redirected by Pmsyyz back in 2012, but remained listed in the userbox gallery until the present day. I removed that link and updated all transclusions, so the redirect can safely be deleted. –  void xor 23:30, 9 March 2020 (UTC) reply

• Restore template and revert transclusion changes. The former content differs from the current target in that it also mentions Chromium (a slightly different piece of software), and although I doubt there is any relevant guideline, I'd say it is enough to keep the two separate. Alternatively we could merge the templates somehow, but I disagree with simply deleting this. Glades12 ( talk) 14:26, 10 March 2020 (UTC) reply

  There's a long history here. Version "2" was created on 2011-06-27 and looked like this. At that time, the original looked like this. Not only do they look identical, but the links and categories are identical too. Inspecting the code, the only difference is that the "2" version dropped the transwiki links. There doesn't seem to be any justification for creating a second template at that time.

  Less than a year later, another user noticed that they were identical and merged them. That was all the way back in 2012. Nobody has complained since.

  As far as the Chromium issue, the original userbox did not mention Chromium. There was some back and forth circa 2010–2011 to do with Chrome's logo being non-free. It kept getting removed due to that. Ultimately, in this edit, the Chromium logo was substituted for the missing Chrome logo and the "or Chromium" text was ad hoc'ed into the userbox. But even by that time, there was an existing userbox for Chromium users, so no need to hijack the Chrome one. Other editors previously put back the Chrome logo, so I just reverted the text change as well. –  void xor 23:32, 10 March 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was retarget to Corporate title. Noting that Unrefine and Rerefine are both essentially keep votes, there is a clear consensus to keep the redirect. Editors advocating for Unrefine outnumber those advocating for Keep and Rerefine, so I see a weak consensus to remove the section targeting. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 20:38, 2 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• President and CEO → Corporate title#United States  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Ambiguous title to a location that the reader may not expect. In addition, this is an unlikely search term due to the "and" and the combination of topics.

• Unrefine per Tavix. Yes these are two different jobs, but they are related and the target article deals with both - the exact phrase even occurs in the first section after the lead. XY is not relevant here as that is for situations where we would have to pick between two multiple equally relevant targets, but in this case there is exactly one relevant article.

• Keep - in the US, many executives hold both titles and are listed as such. Philly jawn ( talk) 15:51, 24 March 2020 (UTC) reply
• Keep - and while I'm not entirely opposed to unrefining it, I would favour keeping the anchor link. It's a fairly common title for the heads of companies particularly in the US, and that section actually does discuss the combined title somewhat. If we didn't have a good place to point this redirect, it would indeed be an unhelpful redirect per WP:XY, but we do - I think the current target answers the likely question a reader will have, while also linking to the separate terms if that's what they were looking for. ~ mazca ^talk 17:12, 25 March 2020 (UTC) reply

According to WP:FOREIGN, the only foreign redirects that should exist are those that people in the US or UK will commonly say instead of the actual word and this does not look like a plausible typo to the english word.
