The result of the discussion was already retargeted by nom per consensus.---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 04:42, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would like this redirect to be deleted. The concept of Larry the Tomato does not exist. What's next, Bob the Cucumber? Yoshiman6464 (talk) 19:12, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • That concept actually does exist. Larry the Cucumber has a brother named Bob. That being said... Morfusmax (talk) 22:27, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the entry on List of Drawn Together characters per Yoshiman6464's findings. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:13, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Good find, given they are classified as recurring characters. As long as they aren't episodic. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:13, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to the aforementioned character's section at that Drawn Together page CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 19:16, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy retargeted to Helga Zepp-LaRouche. The Traditionalist, next time please be bold and retarget it yourself unless you specify a reason why you think it might be controversial. -- Tavix (talk) 20:42, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Helga Zepp-LaRouche. The Traditionalist (talk) 15:30, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy redirect to Helga Zepp-LaRouche who has a fully developed article. I don't see why this needed to be RFD'ed, but oh well. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:38, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SDRT[edit]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Stamp duty in the United Kingdom#Stamp Duty Reserve Tax. --BDD (talk) 17:42, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The target page doesn't seem to explain what this abbreviation means. Looking at the page history, it seems that the entity has been renamed and that a previous name is Samantha Dickson Research Trust, but there is no mention of this previous name in the article, and I'm not sure if this article is the expected target for the abbreviation. I suggest either retargeting the page to Stamp duty in the United Kingdom#Stamp Duty Reserve Tax or disambiguating to mention both abbreviations. Stefan2 (talk) 13:48, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Stamp Duty Reserve Tax. Prominently mentioned as an acronym in news articles covering recent Brexit events, this is the most likely search term for now. If the charity mentions SDRT add two dabs hatnote. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:36, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Are you suggesting that we should match the redirect Stamp Duty Reserve Tax? I'm wondering if we shouldn't retarget the Stamp Duty Reserve Tax redirect to Stamp duty in the United Kingdom#Stamp Duty Reserve Tax. Is there a tax with the same name in other countries, or is this something UK-only? A few countries like Ireland and France have similar taxes but use different names for those, I think. --Stefan2 (talk) 18:10, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The one that the acronym most commonly refers to is the British one so Stamp duty in the United Kingdom#Stamp Duty Reserve Tax would fit. I have no clue if there are other stamp taxes named the same way. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:10, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) SSTflyer 08:22, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No such thing, there are some rumours on various websites, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 10:51, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this was published in magazines like PC Mag. Microsoft Office 97 was also released with titles such as "Word for Windows 97", so this is a likely search term comparable to Windows Memphis. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:33, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The information is not mentioned in the article itself. Yoshiman6464 (talk) 19:13, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per AngusWOOF. If RS at the time referred to it as such, it's a plausible search term. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 01:49, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per AngusWOOF and Patar knight. Microsoft originally announced it as Windows 97, but its release was pushed back to 1998. Because there are reliable sources which reported on it as "Windows 97," this remains a plausible redirect. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 02:33, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Anecdotally, I've seen pirated Windows 98 preview editions labelled as Windows 97, once upon a time. And indeed, Memphis was originally planned for release in 1997 but was pushed back. But to build upon AngusWOOF, InfoWorld also has reported Windows 97 as "Windows 97" [1]. →Σσς. (Sigma) 07:40, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
