• Long cat → 4chan (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ]
• Long Cat → 4chan  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Delete - not mentioned in target article. Longcat is apparently not deserving of its own article per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Longcat; the info was added to 4chan after the afd, but was removed because of notability issues, too much stuff or something.

Comment There also seems to be precedent for this RFD here. Cathfolant (talk) 23:18, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was keep. (NAC) Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 22:57, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

• How I Feel (song by Kelly Clarkson → My December (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Implausible typo. Averages about half a view a day.--Launchballer 14:29, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

• Keep. Contrary to the nominator's assertion, this consistently gets 14-28 hits each month which is a lot of a redirect and [i]very[/i] high number for a typo of this nature which means this is almost certainly linked from some external site. There is no reason to inconvenience people who are using the redirect. Thryduulf (talk) 16:27, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Thryduulf, how is my wording any different from what you suggest? I've checked, and it appears the culprit is this.--Launchballer 16:40, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

• Keep. If this is getting a hit every other day, it's not implausible; in fact it's most likely linked from an external site such as Reddit. A bogus feature of markdown's link formatting syntax tends to silently strip the trailing last character from URLs that end in a closing parenthesis. I don't mean to say that we should create such redirects for every similar URL that lacks them, only that we might as well keep this one. 172.9.22.150 (talk) 16:39, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

• Keep, may seem an implausible typo but apparently used so it's useful and should probably stay. Cathfolant (talk) 23:16, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

• Keep - unambiguously directs readers to what they're looking for. It's certainly a plausible typ. WilyD 16:19, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

• Delete - obvious misspelling without closing bracket. Nadesai (talk) 12:40, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Automobile engine

The result of the discussion was retarget to Automotive engine. (NAC) Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 22:53, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

• Automobile engine → Hydrogen vehicle (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

I think people won't search automobile engine for a hydrogen vehicle, automobile engine means engine, not a vehicle. Yutah Andrei Marzan Ogawa¹²³|UPage|_☺★ (talk) 02:05, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

• retarget to Automotive engine, although that article requires a lot of work I think it is better than the only other logical option I've found - Engine#Automobiles as that is part of the history section of that article and deals only with the successive dominant technologies up to the present day. Thryduulf (talk) 02:24, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
• Retarget to Automotive engine seems best. The Whispering Wind (talk) 21:36, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
• Retarget per Thryduulf. Most automobile engine are not hydrogen engines (usually gasoline or petro-diesel instead). Additionally, someone WP:TROUT the user who created this. -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 10:01, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
