This name isn't used in the target article. While readers can probably reasonably assume it's a synonym, the redirect is of limited use, and likely to cause confusion, in the absence of some explanation of how and by whom the term is used and whether its meaning differs at all. Discussion
at the talk page hasn't indicated any interest in adding such a mention. –

- The topic is mentioned but it's mentioned through synonymous terms, so this redirect would help readers find the content they're looking for. It would probably be more helpful to add a mention, since sources using this term aren't hard to find. This redirect could then be used at
Golden Triangle, a disambiguation page which should list this topic given Wikipedia does have content about it.
- The term is similar enough to the title that I don't think it would be
surprising even without a mention. The problem I see is that
Triangular trade initially frames itself as a general article about trade between any three locations, despite most of its content being about the
Atlantic slave trade (which links to
Triangular trade as the "main article" for the topic); a reader might assume that "Golden Triangle" is synonymous with "triangular trade" in the general sense, when it's actually specifically a term for the
Atlantic slave trade. I'm not sure which of these two articles,
Triangular trade or
Atlantic slave trade, is the best place to add a mention. –

Delete per nom and Pppery. This began as a
stub article entitled "The golden triangle" written by an account with a whopping 2 edits. Their other edit created a stub article entitled "Dread Scott", later redirected to
Dred Scott as a misspelling. Both stubs were written at a time when
Triangular trade and Dred Scott already existed. The stubs were uncited, including the following sentence in the Triangle article: This was called the Golden Triangle because the passage was paid for and the ship along the way, for at each step profit was made. Note the discrepancy between the lowercase title (which is sourced, as in "a golden triangle of profitability") and the uncited "The Golden Triangle" of the article. Because it is really not another name for the slave trade, only a description or characterization of same. For example, neither "
Triumph of engineering nor "
Triumph of Engineering", redirect to
Panama Canal,
Golden Gate Bridge or
Interstate Highway System. So it has little in the way of value, especially considering that its 16 year edit history is exceedingly short, with the final version before redirection
remaining unsourced.

- Rename to
South Korean defection to North Korea (or something similar) without leaving a redirect at the current title, and maintain the renamed redirect to the current target as a {{
R with history}}. Required to satisfy
WP:ATTRIBUTION but the current title is inappropriate and could be blocking creation of an article on a broader topic. If that article were built out of the current page, we would need to
split the history, which is complicated, and much easier to just move it out of the way first.

- Moving the article isn't really what Ivanvector suggested; they suggested moving the redirect. There already is an article about "South Korean defection to North Korea" located at the current target; it's why the author of the article blanked and redirected it. –

- Weak keep since this title isn't a totally implausible search term, given that the target article was originally created under this title and the redirect has already gotten
pretty decent pageviews in the intervening month or so. These redirects with an abbreviation followed by a long name in parentheses certainly shouldn't be created often per the essay you linked, but since redirects are
cheap, it doesn't really hurt to have them around. (By the way, @
Hey man im josh, I noticed this discussion because you were on a roll reviewing the redirects I've created, though you apparently had issues with this one.)

- Weak delete - I don't disagree with the comments above, but the page was at this title for slightly less than a day, and the pageviews since it was moved away don't suggest that it has been externally linked. But it's also harmless.

- Delete. Titles with both a name and an abbreviation are
costly. The pageviews argument isn't very convincing, since they dropped off to nothing very shortly after the redirect was created during the move. –

While these new redirects are borderline searchable, the main difficulty I find is that they are actually slightly ambiguous (and possibly also suffer from
WP:RECENTISM). A different riot occurred on August 4, 1942 at the
Santa Anita Assembly Center. On the face of it, this potential confusion points to the possibility that these redirects should be disambiguated, but I personally think they should be deleted. Date article names should only be used if an event is heavily associated with that date—not simply because it happened on such-and-such date. See for example
September 11 attacks and
January 6 United States Capitol attack as examples of the former, and the lack of a
June 24 building collapse as an example of the
latter.

Too vague and general to apply specifically to Star Trek. This page name could refer to the concept of
Original programming (as said in the hatnote on the target page), as well as
The Originals (TV series), and more generally, the initial entries in any media franchise which has seen continuation in the form of
sequels,
reboots,
spin-offs, and the like. I feel that this redirect should be either disambiguated or redirected to a more general target.
