The result of the discussion was keep. I've moved the disambiguation page so it now is at Joyful. No prejudice against retargeting the redirect to the X Ambassadors album once it is created, but please add a hatnote if you do. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 19:57, 6 March 2018 (UTC) reply

No apparent justification for use of capitals; we don't need a redirect from every title converted to upper case. Harmless but a bad precedent. Pam D 22:26, 26 February 2018 (UTC) reply

• Comment - Tavix stated that the X Ambassadors album is branded with all caps. Therefore, this redirect should be either kept, or retargeted to X Ambassadors discography. -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 14:11, 27 February 2018 (UTC) reply

The X Ambassadors discography article points to X Ambassadors. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 16:51, 27 February 2018 (UTC) reply

• Iron ration → United States military ration  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

I came across this term linked from Pemmican, where it's described as being used by the British in the Second Boer War. So it was odd to see the link go to a World War I-era American military ration. The set index Military rations also classifies "iron rations" as US-specific, which doesn't seem right (cf. WP:INUSA). A German version is mentioned at Field ration, though that's at least from World War II. I'm not really sure what to do here, besides that some change seems advisable.

• Weak delete There's certainly a connection, since this a lyric, but most lyrics don't make for good search terms. I can see some utility here for readers who don't know the exact name of "Baby Got Back" (maybe they just think of it as the "big butts song" or something), but think it's a bit more likely that readers will already know this connection and seek information about the (presumably fictional) phone number and be disappointed. -- BDD ( talk) 22:11, 26 February 2018 (UTC) reply

• Comment. If there needs to be no mention of the redirect, or understandable logic, then this redirect could point anywhere. Because some of you know the term is used in the lyric, does not validate the redirect.

• Atropurpurea → Berberis thunbergii  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

This is a common latter half of a Latin binomial, used in about 30 articles. In this instance however there is also a Berberis thunbergii cultivar called ‘Atropurpurea Nana’, which is presumably why this redirect was created. Since that is only a partial title match I think a redlink would be better. — Xezbeth ( talk) 08:12, 26 February 2018 (UTC) reply
