- Mini-Donald → Family of Donald Trump#Barron Trump ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
This isn't a common or distinctive enough nickname for Barron Trump to be a helpful redirect. No first-page Google results. It seems to be a general pejorative for anyone seen as (Donald) Trump-like, presumably by way of Mini-Me. -- BDD ( talk) 20:25, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. In one NY Times opinion piece, a commentator used this term to refer to Milo Yiannopoulos. -- Notecardforfree ( talk) 20:37, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per nom – could also plausibly refer to Donald Trump Jr., and perhaps also Huey, Dewey, and Louie (since Trump isn't the only notable Donald), as well as no doubt many others. Clearly it isn't specific to Barron Trump. – Arms & Hearts ( talk) 00:06, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

- Ioannis Manetas → Konstantinos Manetas ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
- Panagiotis Manetas → Konstantinos Manetas ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Delete as these redirects make no sense. The target is a different person (their son and brother), and no other element about Ioannis's or Panagiotis's biography is present in the target article.
All three individuals have separate articles on el Wikipedia:
- el:Παναγιώτης Μανέτας (1837-1908), politician
- el:Ιωάννης Μανέτας (1878-1943), politician
- el:Κωνσταντίνος Μανέτας (1879-1960), general and politician
Place Clichy ( talk) 17:23, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, WP:REDLINK, WP:XY—while it's not unheard of to redirect individuals to a relative's page, I don't see a compelling reason to prefer Konstantinos to Theodoros Manetas, if we were going to redirect them somewhere. -- BDD ( talk) 20:27, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Rogue's March

- The result of the discussion was move target article over the redirect. -- BDD ( talk) 21:19, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- Rogue's March → Rogue's March (album) ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
This redirect needs to be freed up so that someone someday can write the article on the 18th century song used to drum a soldier out of his company. That song predates this album by 200 years, and should be reserved for its inevitable article, whenever someone takes a shot at writing it. I realize the article namespace can exist as a redirect as long as we let it and redirect to the band, but I think it is more appropriate to simply delete it and await the real thing rather than retain a redirect as though it were somehow definitive. The album is named after the 18th century tune. Let's free it up for that purpose. KDS4444 ( talk) Note: This user has admitted participating in paid editing, though he has no COI with regard to this edit whatsoever.] 14:56, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Move Rogue's March (film) to Rogue's March as the only subject titled "Rogue's March" with an article. Since Wikipedia is a work in progress, proposing that a title be deleted prior to having content to move there is putting the cart before the horse. This should be revisited after a respected draft page or article is made; at that point, this request would actually be a move request. Steel1943 ( talk) 15:11, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: Also, the redirect that the nominator moved to make Rogue's March free of edits, Rogue's March (album), itself is a redirect that targets American Steel; at the present time, Rogue's March is a double redirect. Steel1943 ( talk) 15:15, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Move per Steel1943, which would be the primary topic by default. If you'd like to see an article created, why don't you try creating one yourself? There's some great advice to get started at WP:YFA. -- Tavix ( talk) 01:03, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

- List of biomedical terms → Outline of medicine ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
The term "biomedical" is not mentioned at the redirect's current target page or its former target, Outline of health. Steel1943 ( talk) 09:56, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- I'm leaning toward delete with this one. Glossary of medical terms is a redirect that sends readers to List of medical abbreviations, but I don't think that would be a particularly helpful target for readers who want to know about biomedical terminology. -- Notecardforfree ( talk) 20:40, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

The term "biomedical" is not present in the target article. Also, the section which the redirects target, Outline of health#Lists, does not exist. In addition, the target does not contain an alphabetical list of terms. (Note: All of the redirects in this nomination are {{ R from history}}s, being redirected in 2005.)

- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- List of best-selling singles (F) → List of best-selling singles in France ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
The disambiguator, being a single letter, could make readers believe that it leads to an alphabetical list of all best-selling singles. In addition, the version of this redirect that contains the entire name of the country spelled out, List of best-selling singles (France), exists and targets the same article as the nominated redirect. Steel1943 ( talk) 09:40, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. If List of best-selling singles was organized alphabetically, then maybe the "F" section could be a good target, but it's currently organized according to total sales. -- Notecardforfree ( talk) 20:43, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Bateies

- Bateies → List of Bates College people ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Seems like a rather unlikely misspelling of Batesy or Batesie. Steel1943 ( talk) 09:08, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. A google search for "Baties" "Bates College" makes it clear that this is used to refer to people from Bates College, e.g. "My older son is a music major at Bates College and sings in. The Deansmen a Cappella group. He plays lead guitar in a band with other Baties...". Thryduulf ( talk) 10:34, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete the typo version unless they are used in some sources with that spelling as with Trekkies. Baties is redlink and Les Bâties is the closest to that. Bateies in a Google search thinks it's a typo for batteries. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 00:40, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete, per nom as an unlikely spelling. It appears the sole "keep" !vote missed that the redirect is "Bateies" and not "Baties". -- Tavix ( talk) 23:55, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

- List of bates people → List of Bates College people ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
These redirects do not necessarily refer to people from Bates College due to the word "college" being absent from the redirects. The redirects could also refer to people with the surname Bates. Steel1943 ( talk) 09:06, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Google indicates that the primary usage is indeed people with the surname Bates. Thryduulf ( talk) 10:38, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete or disambiguate per Thryduulf. -- Notecardforfree ( talk) 20:44, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Delete all WP:PTMs for a bunch of different things, but not the actual name of anything. 59.149.124.29 ( talk) 09:03, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete all as WP:PTMs and ambiguous: the first two being ambiguous with Shiawase no Jikan and the last one ambiguous with Kodomo no Kodomo, among others. -- Tavix ( talk) 23:39, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete all especially "Kodomo no" which would also PTM to Kodomo no Omocha. Jikan means time so it is a PTM of all sorts of titles. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 19:19, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete all. "Jikan" means "time"; "kodomo" means "children"; "no" is the genitive case suffix. As stated above these are partial title matches with no special affinity to this topic. Deryck C. 15:18, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Yukimura and tag
{{ R from typo}}. Samurai Deeper Kyo doesn't use this spelling variant but the traditional Sanada Yukimura (or Yukimura Sanada) character, and there are plenty of shows that would do the same. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 15:53, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

- List of antangonists/enemies/minor villains in Codename: Kids Next Door → Codename: Kids Next Door ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
With all of the slashes, I am not seeing how this is a likely search term. Steel1943 ( talk) 07:08, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Comment this is a redirect with a significant history. It started as an article listing "minor villains on the animated series Codename: Kids Next Door who have only appeared once or a few times." but it was boldly redirected by an IP in 2005
[1], intially to
List of minor antagonists in Codename: Kids Next Door, a target which has gone through a series a mergers and now exists only as
Codename: Kids Next Door#Characters, although each merge appears to have been done boldly rather than after discussion a quick look doesn't suggest this has been controversial at any stage.
Thryduulf (
talk) 10:50, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- When I was looking at the redirect's history, I noticed that it seemed to be an article for two weeks in 2005 prior to being boldly redirected. But then, a few months later, another editor added an incorrect WP:AFD tag since the page was a redirect. For this reason in this specific case, I do not completely see a reason to retain the page's edit history, especially considering that all of this happened about 12 years ago. However, if the page history needs to be retained, it can be moved to a different title. Steel1943 ( talk) 14:27, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Implausible search term that has outlived any usefulness since there aren't multiple character articles for this show as with The Simpsons and there's nothing that shows they need the slash delimiter.

- The result of the discussion was Move without a redirect to Forever (Maggie Stiefvater novel) and retarget to The Wolves of Mercy Falls. Ruslik_ Zero 20:25, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- Forever (Maggie novel) → Maggie Stiefvater ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Delete as implausible. WP:BOOKDAB recommends using the author's surname, not forename. -- Tavix ( talk) 03:40, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. 35 page views last year shows this is not implausible. WP:BOOKDAB tells Wikipedia editors the recommended way to title articles, we cannot expect readers to know such a recommendation exists let alone know what it says. Thryduulf ( talk) 10:57, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Don't keep—retarget to The Wolves of Mercy Falls, if anything, where the novel is discussed more in detail. This seems wrong, since I don't think Maggie Stiefvater is professionally referred to as "Maggie" alone. But lacking ambiguity, and given that "Maggie" alone certainly could refer to her in a general sense, I'm a bit torn. -- BDD ( talk) 14:23, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Retarget to The Wolves of Mercy Falls and Rename to Forever (Maggie Stiefvater novel) so that the full name of the author can show up in the search. Otherwise it's like Romeo and Juliet (William play). There's really only one notable William but it doesn't serve anyone to keep a search like that. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 19:25, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- Move (without leaving a redirect) and retarget per AngusWOOF. There's considerable leeway when it comes to redirects with natural language titles, but if the disambiguator is a parenthetical, then at least a modicum of adherence to article title standards is expected. – Uanfala 10:42, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

A redirect from one band to a song, where the target song's only mention of the redirect band is because they remixed it. Seems unlikely to be a reasonable search result. Primefac ( talk) 01:45, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Why wouldn't it be reasonable? They're remixers, it's their job to remix songs. Apparently, these musicians are only notable for remixing that particular song. {{R with possibilities}} could be used for categorization, as they could become articles in the future. — Za wl 20:28, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- These may need to be re-nominated separately, but here are my suggestions. For
Goldhouse, I think we should consider making a disambiguation page at
Gold house or
Gold House, as
GOLDHOUSE targets
Middle of the Night (song) and this term could potentially refer to similar terms like
The Gold Houses or
Golden House (a redirect that targets
Domus Aurea). For
Brohug, we should Retarget that to
Pound hug as the primary topic. I have no opinion on the rest. --

- Middle of the Night has the same issue as There For You as it has a collection of random mixers on a virtual album which has no charting results or any reviews of the particular mixes. I'd also be wary of bands that appear in random festivals, cruise ship lineups, and so forth.

- Delete all per WP:NMUSIC and WP:GARAGEBAND. Unless the mixer's particular track has been specifically reviewed by RS'es, there's no reason to keep a collection of mixers because they appeared on a virtual album. Also there is nothing that indicates the remixes album itself has any charting results to indicate it is notable. It appears all the charts provided on that article are for the single track. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 19:32, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- Gold house might be okay. I see a reference to Acido Dorado gold house by Robert_Stone_(architect) and a song by Reese (rapper) (Reese Laflare), but I have to watch out for the garage band / soundcloud aspect. There's also House of Gold as a dab article. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 20:01, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as absurd- If the only thing the band did was remix one song, they are not notable enough to warrant a redirect. If they did other things, then there is no way that their name should redirect to a song they remixed. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 17:47, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. This is taking the creation of redirects to insanity levels. It's bad enough we have one or two editors creating redirects for every track on an album, but now this?

This one is ridiculous. There's no mention of any form of religion at the target, so someone can't even figure out how many people aren't Hindu (probably all of them). Religion in Easter Island doesn't exist, nor any other specific religions. -- Tavix ( talk) 01:05, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. We have no information on this topic anywhere that I can find. Given that Hinduism in South America#Chile notes that there are very few Hindus in the country and implies that there is only 1 temple in the country (in Punta Arenas, over 4,000 km (2,500 mi) away and about as far as it's possible to get from Easter Island in Chile) it is unlikely that the topic is significant at all.

This redirect needs to be freed up so that someone someday can write the article on the 18th century song used to drum a soldier out of his company. That song predates this album by 200 years, and should be reserved for its inevitable article, whenever someone takes a shot at writing it. I realize the article namespace can exist as a redirect as long as we let it and redirect to the band, but I think it is more appropriate to simply delete it and await the real thing rather than retain a redirect as though it were somehow definitive. The album is named after the 18th century tune. Let's free it up for that purpose.

- Move Rogue's March (film) to Rogue's March as the only subject titled "Rogue's March" with an article. Since Wikipedia is a work in progress, proposing that a title be deleted prior to having content to move there is putting the cart before the horse. This should be revisited after a respected draft page or article is made; at that point, this request would actually be a move request. Steel1943 ( talk) 15:11, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

- Comment this is a redirect with a significant history. It started as an article listing "minor villains on the animated series Codename: Kids Next Door who have only appeared once or a few times." but it was boldly redirected by an IP in 2005
[1], intially to
List of minor antagonists in Codename: Kids Next Door, a target which has gone through a series a mergers and now exists only as
Codename: Kids Next Door#Characters, although each merge appears to have been done boldly rather than after discussion a quick look doesn't suggest this has been controversial at any stage.

- When I was looking at the redirect's history, I noticed that it seemed to be an article for two weeks in 2005 prior to being boldly redirected. But then, a few months later, another editor added an incorrect WP:AFD tag since the page was a redirect. For this reason in this specific case, I do not completely see a reason to retain the page's edit history, especially considering that all of this happened about 12 years ago. However, if the page history needs to be retained, it can be moved to a different title. Steel1943 ( talk) 14:27, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Delete as implausible. WP:BOOKDAB recommends using the author's surname, not forename. -- Tavix ( talk) 03:40, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. 35 page views last year shows this is not implausible. WP:BOOKDAB tells Wikipedia editors the recommended way to title articles, we cannot expect readers to know such a recommendation exists let alone know what it says. Thryduulf ( talk) 10:57, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Don't keep—retarget to The Wolves of Mercy Falls, if anything, where the novel is discussed more in detail. This seems wrong, since I don't think Maggie Stiefvater is professionally referred to as "Maggie" alone. But lacking ambiguity, and given that "Maggie" alone certainly could refer to her in a general sense, I'm a bit torn. -- BDD ( talk) 14:23, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Retarget to The Wolves of Mercy Falls and Rename to Forever (Maggie Stiefvater novel) so that the full name of the author can show up in the search. Otherwise it's like Romeo and Juliet (William play). There's really only one notable William but it doesn't serve anyone to keep a search like that. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 19:25, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- Move (without leaving a redirect) and retarget per AngusWOOF. There's considerable leeway when it comes to redirects with natural language titles, but if the disambiguator is a parenthetical, then at least a modicum of adherence to article title standards is expected. – Uanfala 10:42, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

A redirect from one band to a song, where the target song's only mention of the redirect band is because they remixed it. Seems unlikely to be a reasonable search result. Primefac ( talk) 01:45, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Why wouldn't it be reasonable? They're remixers, it's their job to remix songs. Apparently, these musicians are only notable for remixing that particular song. {{R with possibilities}} could be used for categorization, as they could become articles in the future. — Za wl 20:28, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- These may need to be re-nominated separately, but here are my suggestions. For
Goldhouse, I think we should consider making a disambiguation page at
Gold house or
Gold House, as
GOLDHOUSE targets
Middle of the Night (song) and this term could potentially refer to similar terms like
The Gold Houses or
Golden House (a redirect that targets
Domus Aurea). For
Brohug, we should Retarget that to
Pound hug as the primary topic. I have no opinion on the rest. --

- Middle of the Night has the same issue as There For You as it has a collection of random mixers on a virtual album which has no charting results or any reviews of the particular mixes. I'd also be wary of bands that appear in random festivals, cruise ship lineups, and so forth.

- Yeah, upon further reflection, it may be best to just delete these (except Brohug, which I still think we should retarget to pound hug). A DAB page at gold house might still be useful for other titles though. -- Notecardforfree ( talk) 18:49, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

- Delete all per WP:NMUSIC and WP:GARAGEBAND. Unless the mixer's particular track has been specifically reviewed by RS'es, there's no reason to keep a collection of mixers because they appeared on a virtual album. Also there is nothing that indicates the remixes album itself has any charting results to indicate it is notable. It appears all the charts provided on that article are for the single track. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 19:32, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- Gold house might be okay. I see a reference to Acido Dorado gold house by Robert_Stone_(architect) and a song by Reese (rapper) (Reese Laflare), but I have to watch out for the garage band / soundcloud aspect. There's also House of Gold as a dab article. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 20:01, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as absurd- If the only thing the band did was remix one song, they are not notable enough to warrant a redirect. If they did other things, then there is no way that their name should redirect to a song they remixed. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 17:47, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - I plan on writing articles on these redirects in the near future. These are reasonable as {{R to list entry}}, {{R to related topic}} or {{R with possibilities}}. — Za wl 14:22, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. This is taking the creation of redirects to insanity levels. It's bad enough we have one or two editors creating redirects for every track on an album, but now this? We have a search function at WP which does this far better than human editors with points to make. ie. [ search for Madison Mars]. -- Richhoncho ( talk) 12:02, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:
This one is ridiculous. There's no mention of any form of religion at the target, so someone can't even figure out how many people aren't Hindu (probably all of them). Religion in Easter Island doesn't exist, nor any other specific religions. -- Tavix ( talk) 01:05, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. We have no information on this topic anywhere that I can find. Given that Hinduism in South America#Chile notes that there are very few Hindus in the country and implies that there is only 1 temple in the country (in Punta Arenas, over 4,000 km (2,500 mi) away and about as far as it's possible to get from Easter Island in Chile) it is unlikely that the topic is significant at all.
