• Reclaiming of nigger in African American Vernacular English → Nigga  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Seems like an unlikely search target Hemiauchenia ( talk) 23:37, 10 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Keep this is the subject of the target article and with about 70 hits so far this year and just shy of 100 last year it's clearly being used so either it is actually a plausible search term or it's linked to from somewhere outside of Wikipedia, or both - and given that it's a very academic way of phrasing the topic it wouldn't surprise me if the answer is indeed "both". Whatever the reason it's being used though, it is being used and points to the right target so deletion would be harmful to the encyclopaedia without brining any benefits. Thryduulf ( talk) 00:29, 11 October 2021 (UTC) reply

Arguably the redirect overlaps with parts of the Nigger article, such as Nigger#Intra-group_versus_intergroup_usage, and so therefore a redirect to Nigga is not unambiguous. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 00:35, 11 October 2021 (UTC) reply

That section has a {{ main}} link to Nigga so there is no ambiguity problem. Thryduulf ( talk) 01:34, 11 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• School of Thought → School of thought  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

This term (with the capital "T") should be redirected to American rock band Ded (band), as the term refers to their upcoming music album. Failing at this, a hat note should be placed at school of thought directing readers to the band, as there is no harm in doing so. Jax 0677 ( talk) 23:32, 10 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Oppose A hatnote at the School of thought article would suffice. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 23:39, 10 October 2021 (UTC) reply
• Strong oppose (and no specific hatnote either) "School of Thought" could just as well be a copy-paste search term from title case (as which refers to the actual concept. The hatnote is already there, linking to a disambig page; and there's no reason to hijack this clear redirect to a primary topic to make a redirect for an album which hasn't even been released yet (that would really be overly promotional); and for which the whole coverage in the target article is a simple listing. See also discussion on my talk page ( User_talk:RandomCanadian#School_of_Thought), where OP here most convincing argument is essentially "I disagree, but ok"... This would also be consistent with other similar "clear primary topic but there's an album/song/whatever named like that": for example, Revolution is a clear primary topic, and it is also a song by the Beatles (who are certainly a far more high profile band than same random American rock band). Yet the former has no mention of the latter; the hatnote simply leading to Revolution (disambiguation). Or even Rock and roll, which has no mention of the Beatles' Rock 'n' Roll Music (album); and to which both Rock and Roll Music and Rock 'n' Roll redirect...

• Keep at its current target per Hemiauchenia and RandomCanadian, with a hatnote to the band. It's WP:TOOSOON to change its target, and people might miscapitalize what they are searching for. Regards, SONIC ⁶⁷⁸ 00:05, 11 October 2021 (UTC) reply
• Keep per RandomCanadian, the existing hatnote to the disambiguation page is more than sufficient for now. If the album becomes notable enough that a full prose article is written about it then a direct hatnote may be justified but until that time it isn't. Thryduulf ( talk) 00:32, 11 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  You attempted to take this redirect, for which there is clear consensus above for it to link to School of thought, and instead tried to make it into an article that, as already mentioned to you multiple times, should be at School of Thought (album). Not only is that against the spirit of the guidelines, however worded they may be, but it is also clearly out of process (and needlessly disruptive, as there was absolutely nothing preventing you from putting the article at the proper place to begin with).

• Looking at the thread at AN/I and the recent AFD, I changed the redirect from Fall of Kabul (2021) to the current namespace on my own.

I'm all in favour of redirects for WP:NN people if there is useful info at the target, but WP:NOTADIRECTORY. The facts that he has complained in public and been subject to disciplinary proceedings for doing so do not strike me as encyclopedic material; still less when the lede of the deleted article prays WP:DAILYMAIL and WP:NYPOST, of all things, in aid.

While KPIX-TV is probably the largest station to have titled its newscasts anything like this (albeit as "Channel 5 Eyewitness News"), this could just as easily refer to KSTP-TV, which has also branded its news as "Channel 5 Eyewitness News" in the past, and even now is still "5 Eyewitness News" (whereas KPIX has not used the Eyewitness News name in any form in nearly a decade). There have been other stations on channel 5 that have used the "Eyewitness News" name in the past as well, so there's some possible ambiguity, but it's worth noting that Google searches for anything close to this term are dominated by KSTP-TV, not KPIX-TV.
