Delete this redirect because (1) Wrong name; Journalist's actual name in the paper is Alexander Burns; (2) the target article doesn't mention him; (3) hardly anything links here (4) We don't typically redirect otherwise redlinked journalists to their employer; there are numerous more notable journalists that have no Wikipedia article at all, and aren't likely to get one (5) He might not stay at The New York Times or he might become better known for something else (6) Helpful editors trying to provide blue authorlinks are burdened by checking this fake article, or worse yet, carelessly providing a worthless authorlink.

• Weak keep: This nomination is somewhat of an apples and oranges argument. From what I can tell this far, the deleted pages the nominator has linked refer to pages deleted as a result of Wikipedia:Templates for discussion nominations, not Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion nominations. (The linked deleted pages were standalone templates, whereas this nomination pertains to redirects.) At the present time, I'm leaning "keep" since these redirects' purpose is to help editors/readers find the target template. I mean, one cannot expect everyone to know the exact names of every template prior to transcluding or substituting them, and these redirects could serve as navigational assists to reach the target template. Steel1943 ( talk) 15:59, 16 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Eh, might as well delete Template:Infobox voivod since the term " voivod" seems to traditionally refer to a political leader/person, not a political region. This redirect could potentially be targeted elsewhere, but at the present time, I have no suggestions to where that may be; worse case scenario, the redirect gets deleted then recreated to point towards a more applicable target.

• Keep all, can't find any reason to delete any of those. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 16:00, 16 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  User:Headbomb they invite editors to use them. Then other editors edit a page and see a transclusion of a template that they don't know. Editors in administrative geography know that there is {{ Infobox settlement}} and that there are wrappers ( list of templates transcluding Infobox settlement). If they see any unknown call they don't know if it is a wrapper where variables are used differently or if it is a redirect. If all redirects are deleted this problem disappears. The deletion comment can contain a link to {{ Infobox settlement}}. There are more than 5000 classes of administrative entities and seeing that there are more than 9 naming variants (Algerian municipality, Algerian District, City in Afghanistan, District CZ, District of Moldova, deelgemeente Belgium, District Cambodia, PLURAL: Nigerian States, Greenlandic divisions, Subdivisions of Malaysia) and more combinations are equally plausible "city BE", "city in Belgium", there are more than 50000 redirect names possible - without considering misspellings and different translations or no translation of foreign language terms.

  Presumably because someone else found it useful enough to create and it does no harm. See again WP:CHEAP. Also just because it exists it doesn't mean all those other potential redirects have to be created.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Regression (psychology). There's no support for the current target and not much discussion—this seems to be the better option put forward. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 18:33, 4 December 2017 (UTC) reply

• Regressive eating → Paleolithic diet  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

I can't find any usages of "regressive eating" in reliable sources to mean "Paleolithic diet". In reality "regressive eating" appears to be a term for some kind of eating disorder, but I don't know enough about this topic area to tell whether it's covered in Wikipedia under another name or something. 59.149.124.29 ( talk) 14:41, 6 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• Comment - I'm seeing this term being used by several reliable-looking publications in terms of eating disorders, such as this among other examples. There's probably a good place to redirect it over to, some exact section or the like, but I'm not quite sure. CoffeeWithMarkets ( talk) 18:33, 8 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• After a bit more reading, it seems like usages of "regressive eating" in published sources are in the Freudian sense, though I'm not 100% confident in this because I'm way out of my depth in this topic area. Anyway, unless someone has any better ideas (or a case for deletion), I guess this could be closed as retarget to regression (psychology), since this redirect is seven years old and that article does mention "eating" briefly even if it doesn't have the exact phrase "regressive eating". 59.149.124.29 ( talk) 02:24, 23 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• Chem. Biol. → European Heart Journal  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

This is the abbreviation for Chemistry & Biology [4], not European Heart Journal. I created this by mistake in 2009. Could be speedy'd, but there's no suitable criteria except "common sense". Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 00:32, 16 November 2017 (UTC) reply
