The result of the discussion was withdrawn. Thought there was consensus against these forms of redirects, was clearly wrong. (non-admin closure) Clyde!Franklin! 03:45, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalized disambiguator. Is from an move, but was only at that title for 6 hrs, so don't think that's an issue. Surprised this doesn't constitute any CSD (at least I don't think so). Clyde!Franklin! 22:58, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - pretty plausible capitalisation I would imagine. No conceivable benefit from deletion. A7V2 (talk) 04:57, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep reasonable enough capitalization --Lenticel (talk) 02:45, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per A7V2 and Lenticel. It's helpful, unambiguous, and will get readers to their destination (they might even hold the ⇧ Shift key for too long). Regards, SONIC678 05:55, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: An improper capitalization on the disambiguator is not an unreasonable redirect. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:48, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was restore and send to AfD. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 (d) 09:39, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Now it's just a redirect to a director's page. I created an article about this film but my edit was undone by another contributor. We either should leave an article or we have to delete the page because now it's just misleading. Trio (1997 film) is not Park Chan-wook himself, it's his film.

Just like with the other singular "Window" redirects, this one should be deleted too. Colgatepony234 (talk) 20:53, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

agree it seems consensus is on the side of deletion across multiple redirects. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 22:44, 15 February 2023 (UTC) Well...Disagree. The other instances—Window 7, Window 8, Window 10—were deleted by the same editor all on 24 March 2019. There was no discussion, just an opinion on the part of the editor that the redirects shouldn't exist. I don't see a problem in retaining the redirect as it is a plausible typo, in disagreement with the editor who deleted the other redirects. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 21:08, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I made deletion discussions for the others last month and those were deleted too. Colgatepony234 (talk) 21:10, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Polished rice redirects to White rice, but I'm not seeing anything specifically "medical" related there, nor another topic that would be medical. Either way, the lack of space before the disambiguator is problematic. -- Tavix (talk) 19:17, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Baker Island. Consensus to unrefine. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 03:49, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest deletion. Was marked as a speedy delete under CSD:G1, but did not consider this to be patent nonsense. Rather, the target is an unihabited island that has no transportation infrastructure, apparently, looking at the target section. Thus - misleading. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 19:04, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and unrefine. While it's true that the island is currently uninhabited, it used to have an airstrip and a lighthouse, and they're described in multiple sections of the target article. My only reservation is the unusual choice of preposition ("in" instead of "on" or "of"), but the redirect has been in place for over 20 years without issue. It's harmless. - Eureka Lott 04:17, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unrefine per EurekaLott. Seems reasonable enough. I don't have an issue with "in" since Baker Island is also a territory. A7V2 (talk) 05:06, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question by 'unrefine' you mean remove the hash-targeting of a section of the target article, yes? --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 22:48, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's correct. - Eureka Lott 23:32, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why this redirect needs to exist; similarly titled pages of older Windows redirects with Roman numerals were deleted as part of a deletion discussion from back in 2014. Colgatepony234 (talk) 18:44, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The deletion was predicated on this being an "implausible typo", but I don't think I'd class it as a typo but rather an alternate, invalid name based on non-decimal numbering. Same could be used to delete "Windows 1011" as the base-2 form of "11". User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 21:03, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is a common misspelling of "Internet Explorer", but I've seen from many sources it's intentionally used for people to make fun of the browser. Keep this redirect or retarget to Satiric misspelling? Colgatepony234 (talk) 23:07, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Internet Exploder - Keep but redirect to Internet Explorer; agree it is a common typo
    the other three - Delete unless they are mentioned in the Satiric misspelling article; I myself dislike redirects where the topic is not mentioned in the target - it's a kind of teasing. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 21:17, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. As an unopposed deletion nomination. Jay 💬 05:21, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect should be deleted. At one point it was believed he would be called William IV, but to have it redirect is a misnomer. We don't have a redirect of George VII to Charles III, even though that name was speculated for him, this shouldn't be different. He is never referred to as William IV of the Netherlands, and confusion could possibly arise with William IV, Prince of OrangeEstar8806 (talk) 16:33, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I request that Columbia Tri Star Television and Columbia Tri-Star Television, which also targets Sony Pictures Television currently, to be bundled and added into this discussion as well as Columbia TriStar International Television, which currently targets the History section of the Sony Pictures Television article. From Bassie f (his talk page) 08:13, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. Bundled. @Bassie f: I really hate to burst your bubble, but you should just go ahead and WP:BOLDly retarget these redirects yourself, as your proposal to retarget is uncontroversial, instead of bringing them next time to RfD. CycloneYoris talk! 21:00, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
