• Branched-chain alcohol → N-Butanol  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

This must be retargeted, probably to alcohol. N-butanol is not a branched-chain alcohol, nor are butanols in general the only branched-chain alcohols. Mdewman6 ( talk) 19:18, 19 September 2020 (UTC) reply

• Higher alcohol → N-Butanol  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

"higher alcohols" clearly encompasses more than just n-butanol, or butanols in general, and should be retargeted. It is often used in the context of fermentation and alcoholic beverages. Possible targets are fusel alcohol or congener (beverages). Mdewman6 ( talk) 19:15, 19 September 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Retarget to Fusel alcohol, per below. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 00:14, 23 September 2020 (UTC) reply
• Comment I do think this redirect has value and should be retargeted to fusel alcohol as the two terms are nearly synonymous in the context of alcoholic beverages/fermentation (even if not quite technically synonymous). Someone could reasonably search for higher alcohol seeking the information at fusel alcohol. Retargeting to congener (beverages) would be less ideal because congeners include compounds besides alcohols. Mdewman6 ( talk) 21:13, 21 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • The Fusel alcohol article doesn't currently mention higher alcohol. If the terms are closely related it should be explained there. Then retargeting would be appropriate. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 14:49, 22 September 2020 (UTC) reply

@ Paul 012: I edited the page to include higher alcohols as an alternative name with an additional ref that uses both terms. I think in this context the terms are synonymous. Mdewman6 ( talk) 19:37, 22 September 2020 (UTC) reply

• Jubël (band) → List of number-one singles of 2019 (Finland)  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

This Swedish group is probably better known for a cover of " Dancing in the Moonlight" than the cover mentioned in the Finnish list. Probably better to delete and make a redlink to encourage article creation. (There is an entry for the band at Jubel disambiguation page which will go red but still enable readers to find Dancing in the Moonlight). Shhhnotsoloud ( talk) 14:06, 19 September 2020 (UTC) reply

• Keep as main article after full article launch: I have made a majour revamp establishing a detailed article for Jubël and references.

    • Jubël (band) can work I guess, but I tend towards duo rather than band. A question: Do two people technically make a band or not? For example Simon and Garfunkel is a band or a duo? Plus that this Jubël is not a conventional music band, but more based on record production side of music, I would say mostly studio work of taking old tunes and adapting them as EDMs. They don't play instruments like guitar or keyboards or drums and are not a musical band in a conventional sense. werldwayd ( talk) 02:25, 23 September 2020 (UTC) reply

"Unlicensed" as an adjective or adverb has a wider application than just "practicing without a license" (e.g. unlicensed vehicle).

We should always be very careful about retargeting shortcut redirects as doing so can break old discussions, edit summaries and cause misunderstandings when some people use if for the old target and others the new.
