• Psalter (Roman Catholic) → Latin Psalters  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Not sure if this redirect is really useful; redirects are heap but should have a reason and I do not see the reason or this redirect to exist. What do you think? Any opinion is welcome. Veverve ( talk) 16:44, 4 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Keep Problem is not articulated. Johnbod ( talk) 16:47, 4 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  @ Johnbod: sometimes - it happens rarely, but it happens - I do not really know what to think about a redirect, I have a vague feeling the redirect may somehow have a problem, so I think to myself: 'I will ask others at the RfD for their opinion, maybe they will have more insight than I have on this redirect'. This is one of those cases. Veverve ( talk) 05:55, 5 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Keep. The point that the Roman Catholic Church is connected to the subject of the target is articulated in the first paragraph. The redirect is a singular version of "Psalter". Unless there is another "Psalter" topic which has connection to a topic called "(Roman Catholic)", the redirect is helpful as currently designed. Steel1943 ( talk) 17:17, 4 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  Never mind: Per Psalter, which apparently also has connection to "Roman Catholic", this redirect is vague. Since Psalter is considered a parent topic over the current topic, weak retarget to Psalter. However, since the connection of either subject to "Roman Catholic" is a bit vague/weak, probably better to delete. Steel1943 ( talk) 18:03, 4 April 2022 (UTC) (Struck. Steel1943 ( talk) 15:59, 5 April 2022 (UTC) ) reply

  @ Steel1943: The Latin Psalters article lists numerous Psalters which were officially used by the Catholic Church (the Gallican psalter, Ambrosian, Mozarabic, the Pian Psalter, the Nova Vulgata psalter), as well as schemata for psalm reading that the Catholic Church used or uses. I am not trying to make any point to reach a decision, I simply attempt to have a fruitful conversation. Veverve ( talk) 06:16, 5 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  Yeah, I'm not too sure per your statement and my statement. I really do think deletion is more proper than a retarget since the disambiguator is somewhat vague. Steel1943 ( talk) 06:38, 5 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  ???? "(Roman Catholic)" is "somewhat vague"? Everything at the current target concerns Roman Catholic psalters, so I really can't see the issue. Johnbod ( talk) 14:16, 5 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  Same could be said with Psalter somewhat since it references the Roman Catholic Church, thus possibly vagueness. Per the articles, looks like it could refer to either. Steel1943 ( talk) 15:30, 5 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  Sorry, I'm not following you at all. Psalters are used by all Christian denominations, with "Palter (Roman Catholic)" pretty clearly defining an obvious sub-set. There are some differences - notably Catholic ones use a different numbering system (after a certain point). Johnbod ( talk) 15:42, 5 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  ...With that explanation, I'm going to wholly strike my vote. Steel1943 ( talk) 15:59, 5 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Keep The redirect was made after a stub article duplicating Latin Psalters in a subsection (Roman Psalters) was made. Keeping the redirect will make sure a similar article is not made by mistake in the future.

• Video game publication → Video game publisher  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

This should redirect to Video game journalism - I can see how one could argue that "publication" can refer to the act of publishing a video game, but Video game journalism is a much better fit, and online VG publications are mentioned numerous times at proposed target. Previously redirected to Video game journalism but target was changed by another editor in 2018. - Liance ^{talk/ contribs} 23:26, 5 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• DABify: both meanings seem to have equal importance. Veverve ( talk) 04:18, 6 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• Delete Disambiguation pages are not a search index, so the above suggestion would be against Wikipedia policy. In cases such as this, where the redirect is too vague to have a clear primary topic, it should be deleted to allow the search function to do its job and show the closest possible answers. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 07:31, 6 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• Weak keep (at current target). I suppose it depends on whether you read publication as a verb or a noun. I don't see an issue with the proposed target or some kind of DAB, but I don't think deletion is helpful given there are two clear possibilities for what this refers to. If kept or retargeted a hatnote should be added from the target to the other. A7V2 ( talk) 06:29, 11 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Canton (Canton) → Guangzhou  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

I don't see how this redirect is helpful since neither the title nor the disambiguator is clear regarding what " Canton" they refer to. Steel1943 ( talk) 19:43, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• As far as I can tell, the only reasonable interpretation of the title is one "Canton" that's located inside another "Canton".

• Two options from me.
  • Weak support (because I don't think it's a term that would commonly be used by mistake, but useful for differentiation purposes). The draft by Tevildo looks okay, only I think that the Kingdom of Brittany belongs in the See also section, as it's not a close match, and I would use the full name United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland for the link. Also perhaps add Parliament of Great Britain in the See also, as Kingdom of Great Britain Parliament redirects there?
  • Redirect to Great Britain (disambiguation), which includes most of those, as well as other DABs, and can be added to.

Either way, the articles currently linking to it would need to be changed to link to the correct target. Laterthanyouthink ( talk) 01:51, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• ㆗ → Kanbun  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

This character has multiple meanings and it does not necessarily refer to a single topic, so I suggest deleting this. Crazy Boy 826 02:43, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Delete per nom. If anything, I would expect this to redirect to China or Chinese language, as it is a common abbreviation for those. Too ambiguous to be useful as a RLOTE, and not worth disambiguating. At most we could make it a soft redirect to Wiktionary. — Mx. Granger ( talk · contribs) 21:15, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• Keep this is U+3197 IDEOGRAPHIC ANNOTATION MIDDLE MARK, not the first character of China which is a different codepoint, U+4E2D CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-4E2D. We correctly do not have a redirect for U+4E2D 中, for the reasons mentioned by Mx. Granger. However this codepoint U+3197 is intended to encode the kanbun annotation mark only, and thus it points to the correct place. If you type chuu in your Japanese IME or zhong in your Chinese IME, the character you will get is U+4E2D not U+3197. To avoid the understandable confusion, we could add hatnotes at the target; I've also added a comment on the redirect itself, and I'll add comments on the other redirects to kanbun as well. 61.239.39.90 ( talk) 23:59, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  Thanks for clarifying that. I have stricken my comment above. I suppose it's unlikely anyone would search for this character when looking for information about anything other than kanbun, so on that basis it makes sense to keep the redirect. — Mx.

Keep That's a problem with the article not the redirect, which certainly goes to the right place. Why don't you write something? Johnbod ( talk) 14:35, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Umm, the purpose of redirects is to guide readers to information about what they are referring to, not to where there is no information. Yes, the problem may be the article, but as long as there is no information in the article about the phrase, the phrase as a redirect targeting where it does is unhelpful. In fact, it may be better to have the redirect deleted so that Wikipedia's search function can provide potentially more helpful results.
