- Delete per nominator. Specifically, redirecting to the voice actress' page doesn't make much sense, as characters are voiced by different people in different languages, and we also have an article about the Japanese voice actress
Shizuka Itō (I think the mention of "Lux" on her page is referring to this role).

A local cricket league is not the primary topic for this abbreviation, over
Canada Lands Company. Instead this should be converted to a dab page, as either are reasonable search terms for CLCL, and which one you want primarily depends on whether you're based in England or North America

- Weak retarget to
Minecraft (franchise)#Untitled film, which describes the movie this redirect is meant to refer to (it was originally scheduled to be released in 2019, but has since been shifted to 2022 and later removed from Warner Bros.' release schedule), and where
Minecraft: The Movie redirects. Although it is true that no Minecraft movies ended up being released in 2019, it might still be helpful to readers looking for info about this project whose status as of now is unknown. Of course, if that doesn't work, we can always delete it per the "delete" voters below and lack of word on the movie until a release date is officially announced. Regards,

- Delete. The creation summary of this redirect points to
User:Stuartyeates/Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku (I've alerted Stuartyeates to this discussion, as the nominator failed to do so). That page indicates that "Wīwī" is a Maori word that can mean either "A term for small rushes resembling sedges, forming mats in wet places. Juncus spp." or
French culture/
French people. As there is is no particular affinity between Maori or New Zealand and either French people/culture or a genus of plants "with species found throughout the world" so
WP:RFOREIGN applies.

- Keep. I have reverted to the redirect to
Juncus. The apparently novice editor who had changed it made a number of other ill-advised changes to pages. Wīwī is a loan word in English, with entries in The Dictionary of New Zealand English (Orsman, 1997) and The New Zealand Oxford Dictionary (Deverson & Kennedy, 2005), for example, so
WP:RFOREIGN does not apply. There are many other redirects from English words of Māori origin, including ones for plant genera.

- Comment the term is mentioned (without macrons) as an alternative name at
Juncus edgariae and
Juncus australis, but also some species in other genera, e.g.
Ficinia nodosa. One option might be to create a
Wiwi disambiguation page, retarget this there, and add any rushes which meet
WP:DABMENTION plus a link to Wiktionary and other topics like
Wiwi-Anne Johansson and
WIWI-LP.

- Keep As per
https://maoridictionary.co.nz/search?idiom=&phrase=&proverb=&loan=&histLoanWords=&keywords=wiwi this is a loan word into the
Māori language from French (from 'oui, oui' / 'yes, yes'). This is a language with >50,000 speakers who all also speak English. The false friends rationale for deleting the redirect is a marginal call, because the use of macrons in non-New Zealand dialects of English is rare.

- A brief search for this term seems to indicate that it has a greater relationship with France than it does with that genus. I found
two
Māori dictionaries that do not mention the genus.
Wiktionary also seems to lean in that direction. Furthermore, it is difficult to see the specific relationship between a Māori word and a
genus that is "found throughout the world". ―

- You've cited 2 dictionaries of the Māori language, plus a Māori language entry in Wiktionary. I agree that we would not need a redirect if it was just a Māori word (here I disagree with Stuartyeates' rationale). But it is an English word (borrowed from Māori) and I have cited two English dictionaries above.

Keep as an English loan term, which fulfills its purpose in telling readers what it refers to. Disambiguate if ambiguous. —

Keep per Nurg. I've checked my copy of the 1997 New Zealand Oxford Dictionary, which contains the definition of wiwi as meaning rushes, and also wi-wi meaning French. The dictionary does not use macrons on these words, but this might reflect its age. I don't have a copy of Orsman. My copy of Heinemann New Zealand Dictionary does not contain an entry for wiwi, but as it was printed in 1979 and is much more compact than the Oxford I'm not surprised.-

- Disambiguate
wiwi and retarget there per
WP:DABCOMBINE (since the dab page would also have entries like
WIWI-LP which are correctly written without the macron). Maybe someone could write a
Category:Plant common names article at
wīwī in the future, but for now a redirect to a dab page with an entry "Wīwī, a Maori and New Zealand English name for rushes and sedges, such as:" (followed by a list of all the plants that meet
WP:DABMENTION) is the best option. {{
R to article without mention}}s are usually a bad idea, and particularly so for synonyms which are only familiar to a subset of English speakers. All the other English speakers who have no idea what the word means nor how it is used, are left none the wiser by the article they land on, and are left to draw potentially-incorrect inferences — particularly in this case, where the redirect points to a genus but we have a
WP:RS explicitly stating that the term can refer to some plants that aren't even in the same family.

- Retarget to
mobile device.
Laptop is clearly too narrow, so it needs to be changed. The section
mobile device#Types lists lots of examples of topics that fit the descriptive phrase mobile personal computer (including laptop). Notably
portable computer is not listed, and I think it would be wrong to add that topic to the list. That's because mobile doesn't mean portable. In the context of a computer, portable means it can be easily relocated, and the term mobile means carried as a normal mode of operation, not just to relocate it. Linking to
mobile device will probably be the most helpful to readers searching for the phrase mobile personal computer.

- Note: In reviewing the article
mobile computing to which
mobile computer redirects (as per Champion), I noted there is a list of devices:
mobile computing#Devices. I don't see why this list should be different than the list at
mobile device#Types. This suggests some sort of merge is required between
mobile device and
mobile computing, or at least the articles should better link to one another. At minimum, the section at
mobile computing#Devices should link to
mobile devices as the main article.

- Strong keep. As I and others argued at the previous RfD, and at the related ongoing RfD for
Florida, Florida, titles of this variety are plausible search terms for people unfamiliar with the nuances of city names in the U.S. It is not at all intuitively obvious that "New York" can refer to New York City (and is in fact the official name), but that "Kansas" cannot refer to Kansas City. As with the other two RfDs, people are conflating "I wouldn't use this term" with "No one would use this term". --
