The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 13:39, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect is misleading and should be deleted. The station in the target article was never named 49th Street, always 50th Street. The only station named 49th Street is on another line in Manhattan. Not likely a plausible search term — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.3.79.248 (talk) 22:46, 13 May 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]

Why would you retarget it to 50th Street? That makes even less sense than the current target... Tavix | Talk  18:29, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as misleading. I think it's trivial as a redirect, but the article did say that the entrance to the station is between 49th Street and 50th Street. Could this confuse someone into thinking that this station is 49th Street? If so, maybe a mention in the "see also" of 49th Street could be helpful. Tavix | Talk  18:29, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This presumably is a station on the New York City Subway, but as someone who as done railway diagrams (mostly British) for many years, this is hopelessly not WP:WORLDWIDE. The last one I did I think was for the oh I dunno what it was but I got it right. I think it was Metro 4 but don't quote me on that, I am probaby wrong (though I rode it on its first day of opening). Delete. See {{RDT intro}} if you want to do it properly, I do, and takes ages to do sometimes. User:MJRoots is an expert at doing these, far better than me.

Delete as misleading. I hope it is not necessary to point out that not all Swedish furniture is sold at IKEA. R'n'B (call me Russ) 18:47, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, most of it is sold in Hungary, well at least, my house is full of the stuff, lick of paint and Son oncle s'apelle Bob. (Bob's your uncle). Delete as misleading. Si Trew (talk) 20:30, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure we could, @Lenticel:. I mean, the typical style would be in [[:]] → Pine or something like that? But then Pinewood Studios is where they make the James Bond movies (and The Muppets, come to that), and that is at Elstree in England. So anyway around it I think would be confusing.

That won't work. Norweogin Wood redirects to a Bealles song and none of the entire on the dab page have anything to with actual wood.--70.27.228.231 (talk) 22:56, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure this was created as a joke. Walruses aren't simply "sabre-toothed seals," there are a lot of other differences between them. They aren't even in the same family. Tavix | Talk  17:21, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as possible vandalism and inaccurate. Elassint Hi 18:15, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think you are wrong. Long-toothed seals were known well as such before Linnean classification, although I can't put my finger on it, but it is certainly the right target. Si Trew (talk) 20:14, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I found a journal article that tells us why walruses cannot be called as sabre-toothed seals. At best, this redirect is misleading--Lenticel (talk) 23:32, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I'm not sure it's that misleading but certainly is less than helpful. Si Trew (talk) 13:45, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And User:Lenticel has hit the nail on the thumb as always. Si Trew (talk) 18:19, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Simply, I'm not understanding the usefulness or helpfulness of this redirect's disambiguator. The target is a "redirects"? Steel1943 (talk) 16:56, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as it has been rendered completely redundant. David-King (talk) 14:48, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
