While Acton Main Line tube station might be a plausible search term (even though it's never been a London Underground station), "station tube staiton" just isn't - three hits so far this year and 4 in the whole of last year back that up.

While I can see the rationale for this redirect I think it's a bit ambiguous, doing a google search primarily turns up results relating to various half power measurements, like
Half-power point
Half power frequency and
Half power beam width. Perhaps this would be a good candidate for disambiguation?

- Retarget to
half-power point - all of those things are called "half power" because
or
(colloquially "x to the power of one-half") are alternative ways of writing
, and the calculation of "half power" derives from that, rather than being actually one-half times "full power". None of our articles do a good job of explaining this but
half-power point at least tries.

- @
PEIsquirrel: That's not quite right, the half power point is the location at which the power has dropped to half it's maximum, the reason √2 shows up in electrical contexts is because power is proportional to voltage squared.

- Right, I should have written "not half of the signal voltage", which is normally my frame of reference for anything I'm calculating.

- Disambiguate. I would be far more likely to use "the half power of x" to mean
(as it is used, for example, in
Coil–globule transition) than I would to refer to
half-power point, and we also have
half power frequency and
half-power beamwidth all going to different targets, so it's not obvious that any one of these should be primary. Or if there is a primary meaning, I think it is likely to be that a device is operating at half of its full capacity (example: in
top and tail, it says the locomotive at the rear operates at half power
), for which there is no convenient target (the meaning is similar to half-power point but half-power point is too technical and specific to work for this). —

- Disambiguate: This is not unambiguously
square root nor
half-power point, it ambiguously can refer to several articles and therefore needs a disambiguation page. —

- Disambiguate. It's clear from the discussion above that different people see different things as the main meaning, so there is no clear primary topic. As a non-mathematical person I would be surprised to end up at a technical mathematics article when following a link to such a generic phrase.

According to the target, a function for determining prime numbers relies on a constant approximated to
. This page was created by an editor who was guessing at what that approximation is, and either did not round properly or had it wrong in the first place. Googling this exact term brings up only unrelated results for software releases with a similar version number.

- Keep: The ellipsis indicates the decimal expansion has been abbreviated. It definitely doesn't imply rounding or approximation. (If it did, we would need to write
) 2.9200... is a valid abbreviation of the decimal expansion of
. Given the Numberphile video, the decimal expansion seems like something people may use to find more information on the subject.—

- Delete: Deeply implausible search term for many different reasons (should we also have 2.92... and 2.920... and 2.92005... all redirect to the same place?); "someone made a video on the internet in which this number appears" is an exceptionally weak basis for having a redirect. --

Not mentioned at the target; while it's plausible that people by these names are video game composers working at Sega (per the categories), unless there's some duly sourced content at the target I don't see much purpose for this redirect. signed,

- The current target does explain different perspectives on the term "adoptive parent". That said it's... well, to be frank, not a very good article, and its coverage of the term is piecemeal throughout the article rather than in one place. Retarget to
adoption
Adoption#Parenting, although I could support reverting to the current target if at some later date the article discusses the term more concisely. --

Per
WP:COSTLY, no need for a redirect from an uppercase disambiguation qualifier. No article ever existed at this title, so no risk of breaking incoming links.

- Hello, I’m the editor who created the redirect. Pardon my mistake, but the capitalizaion of the disambiguation qualifier is purely due to me forgetting to close my auto cap. If anything, you can just delete the page, and I’ll create a new redirect with the correct capitalizations. However, note that there indeed is an article leading to the redirect page;
Kim Gwang-suk. Thanks 一
