This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on August 3, 2021.
Term "past" is not used for fictional characters as agreed by WP:SOAPS. Redirect gets no traffic/use and has no purpose since it's an implausible search term and linked nowhere. – DarkGlow • 20:10, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

This information has since been removed. I would support restoring this information, possibly with a better source. NetEase's website at http://tech.163.com/special/00093ID1/nd60specList_43.html confirms that it owns these domains: "网易旗下六大电子邮箱(126.com、163.com、188.com、vip.163.com、yeah.net、netease.com)注册用户总数已突破2.8亿". The Google Translate of this text is: "The total number of registered users of NetEase’s six major e-mail addresses (126.com, 163.com, 188.com, vip.163.com, yeah.net, netease.com) has exceeded 280 million". Even without mention of these domains in the article, I would still support retention since they are all plausible redirects of NetEase's domains to its article.E-mail Services: Largest provider of free e-mail services in China with more than 940 million users as of 2017, in addition to 163.com, the company also runs 188.com, 126.com and more.

Delete. The redirect is part of a wp:ADVOCACY attempt to use Wikipedia as a platform by a non-notable campaign to establish a new railway station and new line for Daventry in England. See history of the target article ( diff) and of the Daventry article ( diff) John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 17:23, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
The station locations would be critical (figure 11.16). Leaving the HS2 main London-Birmingham line at Brackley, the line runs west of Daventry. The first stop, Daventry Parkway, would occupy the site of the former Braunston Willoughby station at a key location in the western extension of Daventry - which should be named Daintree, the original Shakespearean pronunciation on the A45 north-west of the town centre, with rapid transit access, via the extension, to the town centre. It would then follow the original Great Central Line northward [etc]

help). (Willoughby is 4.9 miles from Daventry.)Calling this "self-published" is an error. Neither the publisher nor the byline are the proponent of the scheme.
That said, I have no idea where and how this minor factoid fits into Wikipedia. It's less well documented than the Weedon and Daventry Railway Company (incorporated in 1868 by Act of Parliament) and the Daventry and Weedon Railway Company (of 1872), both of which apparently (if I am not mis-reading the sources) belong in Weedon–Marton Junction line, and both of which better-documented (in history books) attempts at a railway line are not in Wikipedia at all yet.

No mention of "no", "vim" or songs at the target. Delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 20:12, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Neologism with no evidence of use elsewhere, delete unless evidence of usage can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 20:11, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Not mention of "Lahn" at the target or its linked deWiki counterpart; searching online, the closest relevant result was University of Marburg, (Philipps-Universität Marburg, Marburg An Der Lahn), a separately notable institution. It's not clear to me that it is ever referred to that way, so I'm currently leaning towards deletion of this redirect. signed, Rosguill talk 20:03, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Not mentioned at the target, zero results on GScholar and no relevant results in an internet search. Delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 19:57, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Not mentioned at the target, no evidence of use online. The edit summary for the redirect's creation is Redirect based of wife's surname. Although never referred by this surname such redirects are still plausible as people do search people on Wikipedia by spouse's surname like Amber Depp for Amber Heard.
I think this is a flawed argument, because a) men taking their wives' surname is extremely uncommon in the US and is a much less likely search term than "Woman's Name + Husband's Surname" and b) Bill Cosby is far more well-known than his wife, further reducing the likelihood that someone would search for him by his wife's name. I think deletion is the way to go here. signed,

Please delete per WP:DEADNAME: "If a living transgender or non-binary person was not notable under a former name (a deadname), it should not be included in any page (including lists, redirects, disambiguation pages, category names, templates, etc), even in quotations, even if reliable sourcing exists". If this should be kept, I have no idea what the word "redirects" should exclude. 93.172.226.66 ( talk) 19:49, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Guitar rock refers to rock music with guitars, which is a much broader category than just pop rock. Rock music is probably the most appropriate existing target, although deletion may also be appropriate. signed, Rosguill talk 19:31, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Chinese irredentist term, not currently in use anywhere in Wikipedia and gramatically incorrect. Super Ψ Dro 16:19, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Should be turned into a disambiguation page as the Thirty-sixth government of Israel is also called the "Bennett–Lapid government" — twotwofourtysix(My talk page and contributions) 06:12, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Alternate spelling deleted last year at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2020_November_2#Arnaldo_Hernandez. Briefly played in the Mexican League since then, but has since been released; I'm not sure that there's a good list or anywhere else to point this. Hog Farm Talk 05:13, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Subject has washed out of the minor leagues, and does not seem to be in the Padres, Braves, or any other teams' systems, so shouldn't be at these lists. Hog Farm Talk 04:52, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
