The result of the discussion was retarget to Leigh-on-Sea. The church is now mentioned there -- Tavix (talk) 00:57, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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]

The result of the discussion was retarget to John Reynolds (actor). ✗plicit 02:27, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is an interesting one. The current target refers to someone who starred in one film (widely considered to be one of the worst of all time) before commiting suicide in 1966, while people who don't capitalize the "a" will be sent to an article about someone who has a recurring role in Stranger Things. Recommend retargeting to John Reynolds (actor) and leaving a hatnote to the previous target. OcelotCreeper2 (talk) 19:57, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

First page was merged into the current target in 2016, but isn't mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia anymore. Second one used to redirect to the first, but was retargeted as a double redirect. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 19:42, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the only mention I can find so far is an attempt at linking the page in an old edit, since removed. No valid target to redirect to. edit: in my usual fashion, I forgot to check the page history itself, which is fairly significant. I've been looking for sources to indicate notability and so far I'm only finding mentions, so I'll keep my vote the same unless something else comes up.20:33, 15 October 2021 (UTC) ASUKITE 20:17, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy keep. Nominator is a banned sock. -- Tavix (talk) 02:29, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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]

The result of the discussion was delete. Thryduulf (talk) 18:59, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The target mentions a Moni Ritchie but not a Moni Scarpa. The article formerly at this location suggests these are the same person, but I don't think a single unsourced sentence that uses a different name in an article about another person makes for a useful redirect. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 10:58, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete per nom. Although redirect seems to be a classic case of an {{R with history}}, so not sure if deletion is appropriate. One thing I did notice though, is that target article would make an excellent candidate at AfD, since it lacks proper sources and has very little content.

  • weak keep, Moni is mentioned at target. I don't know if this helps or hinders, but Moni (that's a ridiculously short article and nothing to do with this) or rather Móni are pet names, short names, for Mónika (name) in Hungarian. Although she (I assume) is only briefly mentioned, WP:BLP may apply as Moni Rtchiie founded the multimedia rock group, I know it is a passing mention but it is, to be pedantic, biographical details. 85.67.32.244 (talk) 13:00, 15 October 2021 (UTC) WP:STRIKESOCK. --CycloneYoris talk! 05:32, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another heavy metal Eubot redirect that isn't used much, which is getting A LOET fewer pageviews than the fictional band's proeper name Deathtöngue and the version without the umlaut because of the error. Delete it unless a justification can be proevided. Regards, SOENIC678 04:04, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. After five years we are still clearing up Eubot's crap. Others argued at the time for a new criterion at CSD, I said no I think we can handle it. I was wrong. The editor was in good faith, but misguided. This is metal umlaut, it is easier if you say so explicitly. 85.67.32.244 (talk) 13:06, 15 October 2021 (UTC) WP:STRIKESOCK. -- Tavix (talk) 02:33, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Procedural close. Continue discussing at Talk:Archer (disambiguation)#Requested move 16 October 2021 which is a more appropriate venue than RFD. (non-admin closure). Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:49, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Crouch, Swale Did you mean to leave RFD notice at Archer? MB 16:36, 18 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]

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]

This is not a reasonable redirect. I nominated for CSD, though it was denied as it not being recently created. Currently, there are no articles that use the redirect and the only user pages that use it either do so in a warning message for vandalism or in the notification of the page's CSD/AFD nomination. I propose it be deleted. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 05:13, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Radio receiver#Broadcast radio receivers. Thryduulf (talk) 19:01, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AM/FM is strongly correlated with the concept of AM broadcasting and FM broadcasting. This title should probably be disambiguated between this concept and the current unrelated AM/FM/GIS target. BD2412 T 01:17, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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".
