Requesting deletion. These ill-advised redirects were apparently created to handle bad links in Alfonso de la Cueva, 1st Marquis of Bedmar when xrefs in that file should simply have been modified. Nothing links to these redirects now and I think it should be deleted because anything that creates confusion between a papal consistory and a papal conclave is bad for end users. The first is where cardinals are named. The second is where a pope is elected. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 20:15, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Delete as the only editor currently actively working in early modern papal conclaves (and currently the 17th century), I firmly support these deletions. Consistories are not conclaves, and had I known that these existed while working through the cleanup of the 17th century conclaves, I would have nominated them myself. We do a disservice to the reader to if they were ever used, because it would be giving them a misleading impression. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:45, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Propose retargeting to For Dummies. The Dummy disambiguation page does not contain any topic named "Dummies". feminist 12:18, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as plural. The book series could be added to the dab page though. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:53, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as {{R from plural}}. The dolls are commonly referred to as "dummies". -- Tavix (talk) 15:29, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • As are the ventriloquists' props. Thryduulf (talk) 16:45, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • ...which is categorized under "dolls" at the disambiguation. -- Tavix (talk) 16:52, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • Not clearly so in the popups preview though, and not in my brain. Thryduulf (talk) 17:28, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as plural per above. Thryduulf (talk) 16:45, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary redirect, one will naturally be pointed to the article before reaching this page. Home Lander (talk) 03:42, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment this used to be a disambiguation page between the current target (a television news show host) and Li Xiaemeng (actress) who seems never to have had an article here but does have one on the Chinese Wikipedia (zh:李小萌 (演员)) and does have incoming links. When an article about her is written some disambiguation will be needed but whether one or the other will be the primary topic (in which case hatnotes will suffice) I don't know.
