This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on August 31, 2017.

Propose retargeting to For Dummies. The Dummy disambiguation page does not contain any topic named "Dummies". f e minist 12:18, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as plural. The book series could be added to the dab page though. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:53, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as {{R from plural}}. The dolls are commonly referred to as "dummies". -- Tavix ^(talk) 15:29, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- As are the ventriloquists' props. Thryduulf (talk) 16:45, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - ...which is categorized under "dolls" at the disambiguation. -- Tavix ^(talk) 16:52, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - Not clearly so in the popups preview though, and not in my brain. Thryduulf (talk) 17:28, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it leads to a disambiguation. Disambiguations shouldn't have redirects unless the redirect page ends with the suffix '-(disambiguation)', in which the redirect page should have either {{R to disambiguation page}} or {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}} at the bottom. 82.42.112.140 (talk) 19:38, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Replace without deletion. I'm planning to replace this redirect with the contents of Template:Current events/sandbox, which is a mobile-friendly redesign of Template:Current events header with added accessibility features. The redirect currently has no transclusions, and some links from non-mainspace pages, but I wanted to ask here first, to make sure this is safe. Note: the page history must be kept for attribution, due to a merge to Portal:Current events/Sidebar. Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 06:08, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question. Have you discussed this with the current events project? I'm reluctant to support this unless they do, but if they think the redesign is a good idea then I don't really a reason to object. Thryduulf (talk) 09:36, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion's at Portal talk:Current events. Getting good feedback about the redesign, but waiting to hear from bot maintainers to make sure I don't break them. I'll ask there too if it's okay to clobber this redirect. Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 18:44, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary redirect, one will naturally be pointed to the article before reaching this page. Home Lander (talk) 03:42, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment this used to be a disambiguation page between the current target (a television news show host) and Li Xiaemeng (actress) who seems never to have had an article here but does have one on the Chinese Wikipedia (zh:李小萌 (演员)) and does have incoming links. When an article about her is written some disambiguation will be needed but whether one or the other will be the primary topic (in which case hatnotes will suffice) I don't know.
