Food chip[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was Retarget to Chip#Food and Chips#Food, respectively. Ruslik_Zero 18:32, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Should likely be re-targeted as these terms are ambiguous, particularly due to cultural language differences. The dab Chips might be the best place for these to redirect. France3470 (talk) 22:43, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Disambiguate per nom. There's lots of different kinds of chips, potato chips, apple chips, plantain chips, etc. 70.24.251.71 (talk) 08:25, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Chips. I see no other options, actually, as my web search didn't reveal absolute dominance of any target. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 11:08, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to chip and chips respectively. I'm not sure having two distinct dab pages is necessary, but as long as we do then I think the singular form should redirect to a broader singular form. – hysteria18 (talk) 12:43, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Speedy deleted as attack page Peridon (talk) 18:20, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A rather old and little used redirect which by the number of arbitrary target changes I suspect is either a joke or some form of promotion. Doesn't appear to have any relation to the target, flower. France3470 (talk) 15:54, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy-delete as long-overlooked vandalism. Rossami (talk) 17:15, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good, I've tagged it G3. France3470 (talk) 17:40, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete. Ruslik_Zero 18:29, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template has been repurposed as a footer; "TOC" is no longer a sensible redirect. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 15:01, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: we had recently quite a lot of similar redirects. All the effect this one has is that it can make bots maintainers' work harder and hide some future interclusions of the target template in various discussions. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 17:53, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Keep. Lenticel (talk) 03:44, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect capitalization. uKER (talk) 04:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment what's wrong with it? {{R from mispelling}} 70.24.251.71 (talk) 07:14, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Redirects from capitalization variants are routine. While the Wikipedia search engine can (now) handle case-invariant requests, several of the other techniques that readers use to navigate the wiki remain case-sensitive. This causes no obvious harm or confusion and is entirely in keeping with the purpose of a redirect. The tag should be {{R from capitalization}}, though. Rossami (talk) 17:17, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: typical legitimate redirect use case, to be tagged as {{R from other capitalisation}} though. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 17:55, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
