The result of the discussion was Unanimous Retarget to Languages of Mexico Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 01:57, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Recommend retargeting to Languages of Mexico. Nahuatl may be the most widely-spoken indigenous language of Mexico, but it's not the Mexican language in a meaningful sense. We wouldn't redirect American language to Navajo language. Try mexican language -wikipedia and it's clear that most people using such a search term are more likely looking for the broader topic of languages in contemporary Mexico.

The result of the discussion was Retarget to Ritz#Hotels. Thryduulf (talk) 08:47, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Hôtel Ritz Paris, the original Ritz, and the one for which Putting on the Ritz phrase was developed on. 65.92.180.137 (talk) 03:13, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Ritz, a dab. (We could do Ritz#Hotels, but as that's the first section, there won't be much of a difference.) Absent evidence that most users will be looking for this particular hotel, it's best to treat this search term as ambiguous. We could, however, make a note on Ritz that the Paris hotel was the first. See Richmond and Rochester for examples of dabs where we give a gentle nudge to potentially most popular topics that wouldn't meet WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. --BDD (talk) 19:55, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Ritz#Hotels. The dab page is the better target, wouldn't hurt to target the correct section. – Philosopher Let us reason together. 05:14, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget per Philosopher. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:25, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
