Propose retargetting this redirect, as well as
😙 and
😗, to
Kiss, since this seems to me to be a more realistic inferred meaning than
EmoticonKs0stm(

Comment: There may also be a case to retarget all of these redirects to
Emoji as well. In fact, comparing the incoming redirects to
Emoticon and
Emoji, it doesn't seem as though editors are sure where these redirects should target either.

In fact, retarget all to
Emoji for now (in lieu of targeting the nominated redirect to the verb/subject/act depicted in the redirect at the present time.) In my opinion, there should be a wider discussion about where to target the redirects to
Emoticon that are pictorial since according to the definition of "emoticon" as it states on
Emoticon, illustrated images/icons do not fall under the scope of that article, but rather are
Emoji. (For example: ;-) is an
emoticon whereas 😉 is an
emoji [though 😉 currently targets
Emoticon...])

(I also support the nominator's suggestion.)

Support as a much better representation of the emojis. --

Delete. This character is the number ninety, not the om, which is
𑣿. (Ping:

Yes. I don’t think it is useful to have a redirect for a single character of a larger set to an article that does not and should not mention that character. But I could be swayed.

Commment This character is "U+118F2 WARANG CITI NUMBER NINETY".
Warang Citi redirects to
Varang Kshiti, which is an article about the alphabet/abugida (apparently which it is is ambiguous) and we also have articles about
Warang Citi (Unicode block) and
Ho language (which it is used to write). I think one of those articles may be a better target?

Thryduulf: Good thinking. @
Gorobay: How about redirection to the code block--that's pretty common for obscure characters. ―

Redirecting to the article about the script is okay. I prefer that to redirecting to the Unicode block article, because the script article contains more information, and if anything on Wikipedia ever describes ⟨𑣲⟩, it would be on that page.

Delete as there is nowhere that discusses the character in question. --

A redirect from a move that is now ambiguous? That's so obviously disambiguate I wonder why you brought it here?
Thryduulf (
talk) 00:51, 15 February 2017 (UTC)reply
I don't think it's that obvious.
English penny redirects to
Penny (English coin) so its logical that this redirect would be in sync. I'm assuming it's the primary topic? Maybe it'd be better to discuss both redirects together. --

Keep.
Penny (English coin)is the broad-topic article about the evolution of the English penny throughout history. Subtopic articles about the history of the coin in various eras is linked from the article. So if a reader wants general information about the history of the English penny, the current target is the right place to send them.
Deryck C. 12:41, 15 February 2017 (UTC)reply
All of them are already linked from the "pennies by period" section towards the bottom of the article though. We can refine the target there so that disambiguation could be achieved without creating a separate SIA.
Deryck C. 15:30, 22 February 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep -
Penny (English coin) is a fairly broad article with multiple links all through its lead section, all of which seem helpful enough. I feel like readers will find what they're looking for pretty much immediately.
