The result of the discussion was retarget to Nishiseto Expressway. Consensus is this is much more likely a reference to Shimanami Kaidō than the minor planet, thus making Nishiseto Expressway the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. A hatnote will be added for the current target as well per recommendation by multiple participants. (non-admin closure) snood 1205 01:40, 25 December 2021 (UTC) reply

• B.1.167 → Variants of SARS-CoV-2  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Looking at the page history, the redirect originally pointed to the "Lineage B.1.617" section of the Variants of SARS-CoV-2 article (note the misspelling), but now points to the main article on variants without specifying any section. However, the "B.1.167" variant (if it exists) is a different variant from B.1.617, and is not mentioned in the article. I'd say this redirect should either be deleted (as it wrongly suggests the article has information on a variant called "B.1.167"), or retargeted to SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.617 while noting it is a redirect from an incorrect spelling.

Delete as per WP:RFD#DELETE condition 10.

I'm not sure about the others yet, as while there is no detailed information about them on the targets, a bunch of them seem to be getting A LOT of pageviews, and some might even have links in other articles (I haven't checked through all of them, but it might be worth considering).

Darul Huda is not a university! Because ..

1. When it was registered under the Society Act in 1989, it was named the Darul Huda Islamic Academy.
2. Darul Huda has been promoting the term university since 2009.
3. Even when it registered as an NGO in 2019, the name was given as Darul Huda Islamic Academy. NGO Reg ID is KL/2018/0211502 and Registration date is 12-03-2019
4. UGC has not yet recognized Darul Huda even as a Deemed University.
5. Leading universities in India refer to the institution as “ Darul Huda Islamic Academy” and “ Darul Huda Islamia Academy”. No university in India has used the term “University” to refer to this institution.

• Wikipedia is not mine or yours. Keep in mind that we spend a lot of time in this discussion trying to make Wikipedia flawless. What is my agenda here, and what is the benefit to me?
• Why do you praise these university-named institutions that denigrate public education?
• They know that institutions that are not accredited by UGC should not be used as a university. Even UGC-accredited Deemed Universities have no right to use the term University. Then how can Darul Huda, which is not even recognized as a primary school, use the word "university"? That’s why they didn’t change their real name.

• Keep because multiple reliable sources call it so. This is regardless of the registered name of the institution. Why they call it so is not for Wikipedia to judge. However, if there is any sourced information (positive or negative) about the institution's status as a university, it can be mentioned at the target. Jay (talk) 12:10, 21 December 2021 (UTC) reply
• Keep as helpful search term. Whether it's an incorrect name or not is irrelevant. —  J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 03:47, 22 December 2021 (UTC) reply
• Redirect or indeed Delete - this is a clear attempt to claim a status which they do not in fact occupy. Any source that repeats the claim is ipso facto unreliable on this point. Hunc ( talk) 12:01, 24 December 2021 (UTC) reply
  • We're not talking about a "source", we're talking about the institution's actual name and website. Please see their official website. It's clearly a member of the Federation of the Universities of the Islamic World (FUIW) and is listed as such on FUIW's website: [3]. -- Softlavender ( talk) 14:13, 24 December 2021 (UTC) reply
    • We are talking about a self-claimed status. The Indian Grants Commission doesn't list them, and FUIW doesn't even claim to have any legitimacy in recognizing universities as such. We don't need to legitimize this bogus claim. Hunc ( talk) 22:14, 24 December 2021 (UTC) reply
    • There is another discussion going on here! Sabeelul hidaya ( talk) 04:43, 25 December 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to where? And why have you provided a link to Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard? Jay (talk) 01:24, 25 December 2021 (UTC) reply
    • Redirect to a yet-to-be-written section on the article Darul Huda Islamic Academy, documenting their claim to university status and, vitally for anyone likely to be duped by the claim, its lack of legitimacy. A couple of sentences should be fine, so long as someone keeps an eye on it to prevent further attempts at whitewashing. I agree with Softlavender that their claimed name should be searchable on Wiki, so I've struck my Delete !vote above. I've also removed the link to WP:COIN, not helpful now.

    • At this edit I have made appropriate changes to Darul Huda Islamic University. Unless anyone disagrees - I'll wait some days - I propose to change the article to a redirect to Darul Huda Islamic Academy which will have the new text. Hunc ( talk) 10:52, 26 December 2021 (UTC) reply
• Note that while the discussion was in progress, Lennart97 overwrote the redirect with Darul Huda Islamic University (DHIU) (which was previously the target Darul Huda Islamic Academy as per the nomination). Jay (talk) 17:43, 26 December 2021 (UTC) reply
  • The move was requested by Softlavender at WP:RM/TR. Lennart97 ( talk) 17:53, 26 December 2021 (UTC) reply
    • It's not clear why Softlavender requested for it under the "Uncontroversial technical requests" while the redirect was being discussed, and they were involved; and also why the request was accepted, as prior to the move, the article/page history would have indicated that this redirect was under discussion.

      • Removing the acronym doesn't seem controversial, nor problematic for the issues under discussion here. Hunc ( talk) 21:34, 26 December 2021 (UTC) reply
        • Not sure if you understood what has happened. Darul Huda Islamic University is now no longer a redirect, but has been replaced by its previously targeted article. Jay (talk) 07:13, 27 December 2021 (UTC) reply
          • Sorry to be unclear. I propose that in a few days - in case anyone has any policy based objection - Darul Huda Islamic Academy acquires (the descendant of) the text now in Darul Huda Islamic University which will become a redirect to Darul Huda Islamic Academy. The title Darul Huda Islamic University (DHIU) contains an inappropriate acronym and making it a redirect is a good choice, in due course it can also be redirected to Darul Huda Islamic Academy.
