• Belfairs Methodist Church → Killing of David Amess  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

This redirect is inappropriate. The church is not a sub-topic of Killing of David Amess it merely is the place where it happens to have taken place. People searching for the church itself will be surprised to be taken to the 'killing' article which makes almost no mention of the church. If this event becomes knows as 'The Belfairs Methodist Church Murder' then it might be, but I think just leaving it as a red link for now is entirely appropriate. The church could plausible become notable enough for an article itself. JeffUK ( talk) 20:05, 15 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Keep per WP:CHEAP. The church is not independently notable, but is a valid search term as the location of this event. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 20:08, 15 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  WP:CHEAP is an essay not a policy, This simply doesn't fit any of the purposes of a redirect WP:RPURPOSE. If it's a sub-topic of any article maybe it is a sub-topic of Leigh-on-Sea where the church is located. JeffUK ( talk) 20:24, 15 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  Just noting that whether it is an essay or a policy doesn't matter if it is something that is widely followed in practice. "Valid search term" is also a valid reason for a redirect, provided it is likely to lead to the most appropriate topic. On that point you might be right that linking to the recent event might be obvious WP:RECENTISM and this should link to Leigh-on-Sea, although of course someone looking for this is at the time more likely to be looking for the recent event, and WP:Readers first is valid advice. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 20:28, 15 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  I just don't think it's realistic that someone typing 'Belfair Methodist Church' (even today) into the search is likely to be looking for this article, they're going to be looking for an article about the church. One does not exist and that is just fine. Without the redirect they will still see the Ames articles prominently in the search results, AND see the Leigh on Sea article, surely this is better for the reader?

• This isn't the name of the killing its self so the redirect is arguably incorrect, that said at least temporarily may serve as a useful redirect for people searching. Belfairs is a ward so perhaps the church could be covered there but ward boundaries change a lot and that article doesn't exist. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 17:06, 17 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• C/O → CO  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Delete per WP:RFD#D2, confusing. This is an abbreviation for " Care of" or " In care of", but the target, a disambiguation page, did not have that. it had of three entries its first WP:DABENTRY a WP:DABBLUE to Wiktionary, which is about as much use as a snake in an arse-kicking competition (I don't mean Wiktionary, but the link) and its third as a link to an article that never mentioned either CO OR c/o OR anything. I can see that CO is a useful DAB, but this is useless redirecting to it, since no entry says "C/O" or "c/o". Care of targets Mad Men (season 6). 85.67.32.244 ( talk) 12:41, 15 October 2021 (UTC) reply

My change from DAB to R is here, in Care of. As you will see the first entry was a Wiktionary entry, the third target does not mention "c/o" or anything close to it. For the want of doubt, I have never seen Mad Max in any season and have no particular view on whether the redirect should target it. 85.67.32.244 ( talk) 12:48, 15 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Keep, given that CO already mentioned C/O for Certificate of origin, and I've also added a few other WP:DABMENTIONs and such (e.g. former name of the art gallery Gerhardsen Gerner). Also, having Care of point to a WP:PTM is not ideal. 61.239.39.90 ( talk) 13:39, 15 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  PamD changed the redirect target from Archer (disambiguation) to Archery after the RfD listing. Jay (talk) 13:12, 15 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  I did so because in the previous state the word "archer" was redirected to a dab page which had no link to Archery, an unacceptable situation: retargetting the redirect (reverting to long-standing target) seemed the simplest remedy, rather than editing the dab page during this discussion. WP:BRD Pam D 13:17, 15 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  I added the note to avoid confusion. My "keep" was based on the current target, not the target as per nomination. Thryduulf's "retarget" was based on nomination's target, not current target. I then wondered if I voted wrongly. Jay (talk) 13:47, 15 October 2021 (UTC) reply

This has mostly redirected to archery, but one or more editors have repeatedly changed it without discussion. Starting discussion myself to resolve this. The dab page shows archery is PT. Recommend restoring as it was. MB 01:53, 15 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Keep. There are about 150 incoming links and I believe most of them are from articles of archers (sports). As long as Archer (disambiguation) maintains archery as the primary topic, the redirect can also also point to that. Jay (talk) 09:31, 15 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Either keep the redirect target to Archer (disambiguation), or delete the redirect to move Archer (disambiguation) to Archer. I was considering letting the target stay at Archery, but as GhostOfDanGurney pointed out, Archer (2009 TV series) currently has more pageviews than Archery, and thus both articles are equally plausible.

If this is going to be kept as is, Archer (2009 TV series) should at least also be added as a PT at the top of the page. OcelotCreeper2 ( talk) 19:29, 15 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Keep targeting Archery per Jay. This has been setup as a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to archery for years; it is possible there is no primary topic or there is a different WP:PRIMARYTOPIC but that requires a requested move discussion to address the title of the dab page and/or the potential primary topic article.

Indeed, there are schemes that modulate in amplitude, frequency and phase, which makes constellation diagrams look very pretty. I'm arguing that it's not useful to conflate the two without some further qualification (e.g. "radio"). To give an analogy, we have AC/DC (electrical) targeting Electric_current#AC_and_DC, that makes sense as the heading is "AC and DC". Here we have AM radio targeting AM broadcasting and FM radio targeting FM broadcasting, but AM/FM radio targets Radio_receiver#Broadcast radio receivers, even though there's a sub-subsection "AM and FM". While broadcast audio is probably the most familiar use by far, I feel that the unqualified "AM/FM" is not specific enough to target that. I'm probably in a minority, though. 85.67.32.244 ( talk) 17:01, 8 October 2021 (UTC) WP:STRIKESOCK. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 02:36, 16 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Retarget to Radio receiver#Broadcast radio receivers, which is a section that discusses combination radio receivers that tune both AM and FM signals, by far the most common form of commercial radio receiver since about the 1950s. You probably have an AM/FM radio at least in your home and your car, and so probably did your parents and grandparents. You might also have an AM/FM radio in your smartphone or other portable devices. Ivanvector's squirrel ( ^trees/ _nuts) 16:16, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  No doubt that's the primary topic for "AM/FM radio", but that's not the topic of discussion. 85.67.32.244 ( talk) 17:47, 9 October 2021 (UTC) WP:STRIKESOCK. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 02:36, 16 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  It's the primary topic for "AM/FM" as well. What other topic besides broadcast radio could it refer to? AM/FM/GIS is a subtopic of another topic that's already very niche, especially compared with commercial radio. Yes, there are other common radio receiving devices that combine AM and FM and other modulations, but none are known by those terms. It's television, not "FM monaural audio with subtractive stereo and motion picture luminance on an AM-VSB subcarrier and additive chrominance over QAM".

• Retarget to Tuner (radio)#AM/FM and add a hatnote and/or links in that section to Radio receiver#Broadcast radio receivers. In general I agree the radio context is the primary topic here, but I think it would be better to target a section with the specific title of the redirect. The tuner article is more about the frequencies, with the "radio" qualifyer getting readers to content more about the device. Note: I am going to WP:BOLDly retarget Am fm radio to Radio receiver#Broadcast radio receivers, as it should target the same place as AM/FM radio and I think there is consensus here that that redirect is properly targeted.
