Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

I was surprised to find this in article space. I don't think that wikistalking is a concept well known outside of Wikipedia jargon, and indeed it is not mentioned at the target. Its hatnote treatment there is the result of a previous discussion, but that discussion is coming up on 7 years old, and I think our consensus has generally changed about how to deal with this sort of cross-namespace redirect (delete it). Furthermore, the use of the "stalk" language on-wiki was deprecated years ago, and Wikistalking was deleted and salted in 2006. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:40, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Elizabeth II#Reign. -- Tavix (talk) 00:29, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Should be deleted or retargeted to Elizabeth II#Reign. Compared to the widespread usage of Victorian era, "Second Elizabethan era" pales in comparison. Thatcher's Britain renders about 8,330 results in Google Books, compared to 7,740 less for this redirect. I think eras nowadays in the UK are normally named after prime ministers, rather than for kings and queens. --Nevéselbert 22:05, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible and misleading redirect. In 2008, Red State was little more than a script with no funding. In no way is it a "2008 film" when it hadn't even filmed a second that year. Also nominating Red State (2009 film). Nohomersryan (talk) 21:19, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete "53 port" and "port 1199", keep others. Deryck C. 10:51, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

☒N Delete all, no significance or inbound links. Port 25565 was previously nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Port 25565 and redirected with results 2 redirect, 2 delete, 1 delete preferred but redirect OK, so may need to be discussed or reviewed more in-depth. (Port 25565 seems to be related to Minecraft. 80.221.159.67 (talk) 11:54, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawing Port 666, previously a merged article. 80.221.159.67 (talk) 12:06, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

This is a problem. It was indeed merged into the target article, but there's no mention of it whatsoever there. I noticed Infoplease as an EL in an article and wanted to find out if it was a Wikipedia mirror, as I suspected. So I can speak firsthand to how this is misleading and harmful.

Delete. This is an Anglicized spelling of German “Zett”, which means ⟨z⟩. ⟨ß⟩ is “Eszett”. The proper target would therefore be Z, but since the letter ⟨Z⟩ is not specifically German, it would not make sense to retarget it there, per WP:RFOREIGN. Gorobay (talk) 13:37, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since redirect has the word "The" and the main word is misspelled, this redirect is too unlikely to be helpful. Steel1943 (talk) 02:03, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No real strong opinion here, but WP:CHEAP applies, I feel. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 09:14, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
