- AJ Styles feud with John Cena ( 2016 ) → WWE Raw ( links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Unnecessary redirect JC · Talk · Contributions 22:40, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Delete Rivalries in Pro Wrestling shouldn't have their own article, like the ones in other sports do. Nickag989 talk 19:15, 4 September 2016 (UTC)- Retarget to
John Cena#Feud with AJ Styles and hiatus (2016–2017). The feud is not mentioned at the current target.
Nickag989, a redirect is not an article. And as I understand pro wrestling (not much), the feuds are one of the primary interests. It's quite plausible that fans would search for one.
JC, being "unnecessary" is not a
valid reason for deletion. —

- Now I woke up. It's supposed to be redirected to something else. And because of that, I change my vote to retarget to John Cena#Feud with AJ Styles and hiatus (2016–2017). Nickag989 talk 20:09, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete Not a plausible redirect. I can't imagine anybody searching for "AJ Styles feud with John Cena ( 2016 )". AJ Styles vs. John Cena is a sensible redirect to Money in the Bank (2016) in the same tradition of Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant and WrestleMania III though. LM2000 ( talk) 19:33, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete This doesn't have its own Wikipedia article or even a title of a book/video. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 18:51, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - People aren't going to type in this, with the spaces in the parenthesis and everything else, and this just isn't helpful. Note the contrast mentioned above between Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant, which is a reasonable thing to search and thus a valid redirect. CoffeeWithMarkets ( talk) 20:51, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was keep. I'll refine it to #Computing as a bold editorial action. Feel free to revert, but I trust it's uncontroversial. -- Tavix ( talk) 16:25, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
Implausible redirect. Why would you type the character twice? Pppery ( talk) 22:15, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. ~ already redirects to Tilde. By the way, this is the maximum number of consecutive tildes one can have in a page title; 3 or more will indicate signature, timestamp, or both in wikitext, and so are disallowed in page titles. GeoffreyT2000 ( talk) 23:02, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep as the target article gives several instances of the meaning of a double tilde in various programming languages. Uanfala ( talk) 09:41, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep per Uanfala. Thryduulf ( talk) 13:41, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Refine to Tilde#Computing, which contains all the information the article has about "~~". Didn't find anything elsewhere.— Godsy ( TALK CONT) 18:21, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

"Adult themed" is too broad to redirect to a specific video game. "Adult content" redirects to Pornography, so a redirect to there may be more appropriate. ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 22:12, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

- @ God's Godzilla: Please remember to assume good faith and avoid personalising discussions - comment on the redirect not on the nominator. Thryduulf ( talk) 13:50, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- weak delete. The search results "adult theme" (and variations) have a mixture of meanings, erotica and pornography are about 50% while things like violence, gore, risqué humour and simply "intended for emotionally mature audiences" comprise the rest. I'm not against a retarget as suggested by the nominator but it's not my preferred solution. Thryduulf ( talk) 13:50, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. I can find no good target for such a general term. A concept article could possibly be written on this subject, in which case a red link would be appropriate. — Gorthian ( talk) 20:15, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as a bit vague -- Lenticel ( talk) 05:42, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Not a term specific to video games or eroge. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 18:53, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - This term can refer to multiple things that are not video games, as stated above, and the redirect should just be trashed. CoffeeWithMarkets ( talk) 20:52, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

- Myxomatosis. → Hail to the Thief ( links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Not a useful redirect - the only difference between this and Myxomatosis (the unrelated article) is punctuation (a period that can barely be seen), and the only reason there is a difference is due to stylistics on the part of Radiohead with the song titles on Hail to the Thief (they've all got periods in them, apparently). It makes searching very unclear, and the article already has a hatnote for the song. MSJapan ( talk) 21:49, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as confusing, or (2nd choice) retarget to Myxomatosis. The hatnote there sets searchers straight. Google results are no different for "Myxomatosis" or "Myxomatosis.", meaning that the few hits this has gotten are not from there. — Gorthian ( talk) 20:43, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. News articles refer to the song without the period. Newsweek, Jambase, New York Times. I found some picture of a random set list and it doesn't have the period. [1] AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 19:04, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Easter Bunny. — Godsy ( TALK CONT) 04:22, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
Should be a disambiguation page between Easter Bunny and Makemake, not a redirect to Makemake. toothfairy for instance, is a redirect to tooth fairy. 2602:306:3653:8440:98D5:C730:2238:4C2F ( talk) 18:26, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect to Easter Bunny. If disambiguation is needed then a hatnote could be added to Easter Bunny but that seems unnecessary – it was only an internal codename for Makemake according to the article, not something it is commonly known by.-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 18:33, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- I agree that it does not make sense for this to be a simple redirect to the dwarf planet. Makemake was only very briefly (and informally) known as Easterbunny. In fact, based on the edit summary, it appears that User:Atlantic306 was attempting to remove the link to Makemake here but made a mistake. The Redirect to Easter Bunny seems best. Meters ( talk) 18:38, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Taiwan (disambiguation). — Godsy ( TALK CONT) 03:54, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Taiwan region → Free Area of the Republic of China ( links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
The PRC's definition of "Taiwan region" isn't exactly coterminous with areas currently controlled by ROC. The plan is for Kinmen and Matsu would come under direct administration of Fujian province.-- Prisencolin ( talk) 07:01, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to Taiwan Province. That article is about the ROC's meaning of the term but has a hatnote to Taiwan (the country) and Taiwan Province, People's Republic of China (the article about the PRC's meaning of the term). Optionally a hatnote to Regions of Taiwan can be added, but as this redirect is singular I'm not sure it's necessary. Thryduulf ( talk) 14:02, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to Taiwan (disambiguation) as it could equally refer to the ROC's definition and other definitions. - Champion ( talk) ( contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 00:39, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
