Currently, Taiwan Semiconductor redirects to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. But these two companies are unrelated and independent as discussed in the Talk Page of TSMC. A redirect page would be misleading. Furthermore, so far no article has been written for the former company, a disambiguation page with a red link to an uncreated article is unnecessary. IMHO, it's best to simply delete the misleading redirect.

See Talk:TSMC#TSC and TSMC are NOT the same company. Bieraaa (talk) 09:53, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep redirect - TSMC is referred to at least occasionally as "Taiwan Semiconductor" (see e.g., here and here) so it's a plausible search-term for TSMC. It doesn't matter that there is another firm with that name as that firm does not have an article and as such there is no confusion. If anyone ever decides to create an article about the other firm, they can remove the redirect. FOARP (talk) 15:04, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I see, thanks for the sources. As the nominator of this AfD, I withdrawn this nomination. Bieraaa (talk) 15:37, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
