Also, iPhone 4s is the fifth generation iPhone, and no iPhone so far supports 5G. the ultra Usurper 03:14, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete as confusing nonsense. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:36, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- Speedy keep as created by a (now-blocked) user. "G" in this case stands for "generation", and refers to the generation of the smartphone, not the generation of the network. A a s i m 18:08, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
- Weak retarget to List of iOS devices#iPhone. Though it will probably end up targeting the iPhone 12 article once the phone comes out this fall. CycloneYoris talk! 09:10, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. It seems most search results are for a hypothetical future phone. -- Tavix ( talk) 20:35, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep I wasn't aware of this iPhone generation naming convention, but it's real. There's already real confusion with the phone technology generations, though—see iPhone 3G, and the hatnote at iPhone 4 (where iPhone 4G redirects). While I hope we as a society drop this confusing convention going forward, it's real and not limited to Wikipedia, so we can't just reject it on grounds of taste. When there is an iPhone that supports 5G technology, iPhone 5 should get a hatnote like the one at iPhone 4 now. -- BDD ( talk) 14:34, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
- Strong delete, and salt if necessary. The capitalization is wrong, and it isn't the correct name to refer to any iPhone. We're better off revealing search results for this one than trying to guess whether the reader meant "iPhone 5" (but incorrectly added a G) or "an iPhone that has 5G capability" (which is yet to be released).

- Mercury (2017 Tamil film) → Mercury ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
This is a remnant of some article mis-naming, but there is no 2017 film on the Mercury DAB page, so this should be deleted. -- Fyrael ( talk) 21:04, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete the first one as the old link pageviews for Mercury (film) have tailed off and there is another film of the same name in the same year. No opinion on the second redirect thus far. — J947 ‡ message ⁓ edits 22:56, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete both because there is no 2017 film named so. Then, be careful to have Mercury (film) [2018] targeted. Also from DAB Mercury. - DePiep ( talk) 00:30, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

- Promethean ActivBoard → Interactive whiteboard ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
While an example of an interactive whiteboard, it's not mentioned at the target. Delete unless a reliably sourced mention can be added to the target. signed, Rosguill talk 18:21, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete as redirects from brand names are rare and should have a good reason to be there such as a specific mention in the target lest we run into WP:PANDORA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NK1406 ( talk • contribs) 21:45, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

- I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle → The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Not mentioned at target; presumably it's a quote, but any book or movie could have thousands of such, and creating arbitrary ones that have no actual discussion in the article is a WP:PANDORA's box issue. – Deacon Vorbis ( carbon • videos) 13:48, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- For the record, the significance of the quote is explained at https://sites.google.com/site/h2g2theguide/Index/c/410073 . Delete. – Fayenatic London 13:59, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- It is a key plot point phrase from the book that caused a war between the Vl'Hurgs and the G'Gugvuntts. A better redirect would be to the page Phrases from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but that page does not list it either. Delete. Brian R Hunter ( talk) 14:06, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. This relates to a very minor plot element; indeed, a discursion from the main plot. It is isn't mentioned in Phrases from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and I don't see why it should be.

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Cultural views on the navel#Modern times. signed, Rosguill talk 01:17, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- → Navel#Fashion, society and culture ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Not mentioned in target article. Hog Farm Bacon 02:05, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to Cultural views on the navel#Modern times (under the Japan section) where this event (called Heso Matsuri in Japanese) is mentioned and backed up by a few sources talking about the event and the associated Heso Odori ("Belly Button Dance"). To be fair, the current target of this thing does contain a brief description about Japan, but nothing about this festival; but still it's worth mentioning the festival somewhere on this site.

- Hard hat revolution → 2019–20 Hong Kong protests ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Not mentioned in target article. Also, most results when searching this term on third party search engines are results for the subject at Hard Hat Riot. Steel1943 ( talk) 00:41, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. This DuckDuckGo search shows that the 2019 Hong Kong protests are the predominant topic. @ Steel1943: What search engine were you using? Alternatively we could disambiguate with the 1970 Hard Hat Riot, and various construction sector reform initiatives that have been dubbed "Hard Hat Revolution", e.g. women in engineering( [1] [2]; Microsoft Hololens's hard hat integration proposals [3]; Nathan Rees's construction sector reform proposals [4] - the latter uses are all about as prominent as the 1970 revolution according to DuckDuckGo.
