While the target does mention the
etymology of the name Samsung, the "(name)" disambiguator is usually reserved for
anthroponymy articles. There doesn't seem to be any notable people with the name, and it's got a couple formatting errors. It's best to delete this. --

Samsung (disambiguation) was deleted on 18 March 2016 by
User:Graeme Bartlett as
WP:G6, since it was a redirect to something other than a DAB. This title was originally moved to that target (in 2007), at that time this was a
{{
R from page move}}
. In 2008, I think, the disambiguation page was changed to a redirect (I have asked for undeletion to check the history to be sure, but clues for bot-fixed double redirects tend to indicate so), and the target was moved in 2011 from
Samsung Group. So with the bot fixes to avoid double redirects, it escapes the speedy deletion criterion of being a redirect dependent on a nonexistent page (
WP:G8, was
WP:R1), but that is essentially what it is.

- Comment. Warning: Audit trail follows; not very interesting. A deletion discussion of April 2007,
here, recommended this be moved to
Samsung (disambiguation) (presumably without leaving a redirect; one !vote says "delete the redirect from Samsung(Name)"). The page
Samsung(Name) does appear to have been moved to
Samsung (disambiguation) on 4 May 2007; this page redirected there until 7 July 2008 when a bot fixed the double redirect so it went to
Samsung Group: I presume that at that time,
Samsung (disambiguation) was converted from a DAB into a redirect (I have asked for an undelete to check this for sure, but the bot-fixes give strong circumstantial evidence i.e. clues that it is the case).
- At that time,
Samsung Group was the article that is now at
Samsung, it being moved there on 12 May 2011 by
User:David Levy, who changed the target for this at the same time (rather than leave it to a bot: nothing wrong with that).
-
Samsung (disambiguation) was deleted on 18 March 2016 by
User:Graeme Bartlett with the deletion remark "G6: This page has a "(disambiguation)" qualifier that's not redirecting to a disambiguation". Nothing should have linked to it by that time; certainly right now it has no links beyond this discussion.
- In all this time
Samsung(Name) has been following the target around like a stalker, just because nobody acted on the (implied and express) consensus to delete the d—d thing in 2007 after moving it. I presume the aim was to disambiguate uses such as
Samsung Town, but that in the end it was felt that these were evident enough in the target article not to warrant disambiguation (Samsung Town being a
company town.)

- This seems to confirm that indeed it was converted to a redirect (by

WP:RFD#KEEP point four, which in particular says that redirects created by pagemoves (including the ones in this discussion that I checked) shouldn't be deleted without good reason, which the statements given above aren't.

Delete per
WP:XY, this could equally likely be a typo for a few things. Since the typo would involve someone leaving out an "h," why not a "z" for
Yazoo? Or perhaps someone was looking for
Yao and held the "o" key a little too long? --

- Keep. If we don't have an article entitled "X", it makes sense for "X" to redirect to "List of X", but in this case
List of space programs redirects to the list of government space agencies, so we redirect
Space program to that list because we'd have a double redirect otherwise. Unless you want to bring
List of space programs to RFD also, it looks like the best choice is to suggest renaming the target list and expanding its scope to include non-governmental space programs.

- Delete It is a bad name, which implies there is one, single monolithic space program. There is no such thing, and I can't think of an appropriate target to redirect it to. Plus, it omits private space programs. If this were the 1950s or 1960s, and Wikipedia were only concerned with the United States, the name would be appropriate (but then the target list would not exist.) I don't think anything worthwhile is lost by deleting it.

- Delete per
WP:REDLINK. Odd to have a redirect target an article about a subject that doesn't even accurately describe the subject of the list article. (Yes, I believe that
List of space programs should be deleted as well.) In my opinion, there is currently no subject that has either been recommended thus far or that I can find that accurately describes this subject, especially given that space isn't exclusive to humans.

- Comment I agree with Steel1943; neither one makes any sense and they both should be deleted. A "List of space programs" does not seem in fact to exist, and "Space program" would only make sense if it described generically what a space program is. My only concern is, will combining them into one RfD make it harder to get them both deleted?

- Keep and turn it into a disambiguation page. (I said at the RfD for List of space programs that I didn't care if Space programs went away, but I've changed my mind. I was young in the Sputnik era when space programs were a big deal. It is still a current term in books and articles.) We should have a search term that goes somewhere. Currently:

- Disambiguate - Space programs aren't limited to government anymore, and as such, the current target doesn't cover everything this general term needs to cover.
Spaceflight and
Space policy are suggested above, but they don't list all space programs this encyclopedia has information about, hence they aren't good targets either.—

- Delete - Ambiguous: It could used in regard to
the fruit (e.g. "the apple's stem was broken") as well as the
the company (e.g. "Apple's new IPhone was released yesterday"). There is no capitalization distinction as the first letter of a page title is always capitalized. The fruit would be the primary topic if it comes down to a keep/retarget consensus (
WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT), though it's probably more commonly used in the other sense present day.—

- Keep. Redirects with 's are usually a piping shortcut. Instead of typing [[Apple Inc.|Apple's]], it's easier and more convenient to use the redirect. There's 10 mainspace incoming links, and it appears they all take advantage of this shortcut. As far as the word "apple's" (think about it separately from the word "apple"), I do think
Apple Inc. is the primary topic. The fruit is rarely used in the possessive, although it's possible (eg: the apple's stem is broken). It's much more likely for the company to use this form (example from
SpringBoard: "Apple's release of iPhone OS..."). --

Apple is about.

- Keep. This is what's done at Commons with generic names: instead of having lots of generic filenames with the same "pick a more descriptive name" image, we have one with the "pick a more descriptive name" image and redirect the rest to it. See
Commons:File:Untitled.JPG or
Commons:File:Me.jpg for a couple of examples. Could you explain why you think this is a bad idea? Among other things, it makes it seem as if there are lots of files with identical content, because we're using the same image as the warning for each of them.
Champion, how do you propose that someone would be uploading a file by this name, anyway? After creating the redirect, I protected it fully. Are admins going to override the protection and upload a file by this name?
