Early peoples → Human evolution (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Not the same thing. I think we have better targets for this. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 18:37, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to the Ancient humans dismabiguation, which includes links to Human evolution, Archaic humans, Early modern humans, Prehistoric peoples and Category:Ancient peoples. This dab was created following Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 June 29#Ancient human. Thryduulf (talk) 20:51, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to ancient humans. Early human is a redirect that sends readers to homo, but if readers want to know about "peoples," then they are probably interested in anthropological or sociological articles about the development of social groups. I think the ancient humans DAB is the best place to find that information. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 20:16, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Scottish independence referendum, 2014. Restore original redirect and add hatnote. Anarchyte (work | talk) 10:45, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Indyref → Independence referendum (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Created as a redirect to Scottish independence referendum, 2014 in August 2014, then retargetted by an IP a month later to the current target. Apart from the Scottish referendum, is there any other independence referendum known as "Indyref"? f e minist 17:32, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Think I created this one, and didn't spot the change. I think it should be redirected back to the original target as I don't know of any other use of the specific term. It was widely used at the time of the Scottish referendum and now people refer to a possible new referendum as "Indyref 2". Sam Blacketer (talk) 18:01, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Retarget back to Scottish independence referendum, 2014 with a hatnote to Independence referendum . I did find two uses unrelated to Scotland, [1] relating to Catalonia and one relating to Kurdistan (used in the google snippet but not in the part of the page I could see), however to find those I had to use a search term of "indyref" -Scotland -Scottish -SNP and go to the second page of results, so the Scottish referendum is the clear primary topic. There is already a hatnote to the proposed second referendum, but indyref2 (or indyref 2) is by far the more common way of referring to that topic. Thryduulf (talk) 18:04, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to restore, per others. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:44, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget back and hatnote per Thryduulf. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 05:45, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Republican Party of the Russia → People's Freedom Party (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Unlikely search term with extra "the". - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 07:24, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. When this redirect was created, the target article was at Republican Party of the Russian Federation and this looks like a straight truncation of that but neglecting to remove the "the". Stats indicate that it isn't being used. Thryduulf (talk) 09:36, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and Thryduulf. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 02:49, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Vera Van Wagner → List of supercentenarians from the United States (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

The page redirects to an article in which the subject is not mentioned. Seems like a pointless redirect (and hence a pointless page). WWGB (talk) 05:03, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, misleading. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 05:31, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The only article-space mention of her name I can find is in the title of a source at List of oldest living people, but that would be a particularly bad target as Ms Wagner is no longer living. There are several talk page discussions that mention her, and from what I can make out her age was not verified to the satisfaction of editors working on the oldest people articles so it seems unlikely she will get an entry in future. Thryduulf (talk) 09:50, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination. A redirect device by one particular editor interested in the US supercentenarian projects, but unfortunately when they die they are removed from the article the redirect leads to, as in this case. Unless there is another more valid article to which the redirect could be pointed (which there appears not to be currently), the redirect should cease. Ref ^(chew)(do) 16:42, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. There isn't a list of former supercentenarians being maintained here. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:22, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Businesses in Nashville → Nashville, Tennessee (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Target does not contain such a list. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 03:37, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to List of companies based in Nashville, Tennessee. I happen to disagree that those lists of companies are encyclopaedic but they have sufficient fans that AfDs are not successful despite the ill-defined inclusion criteria many of them have. However, while the list exists there is no reason not to redirect to it. Thryduulf (talk) 09:55, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget as per the above comment. Plausible search term too. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 11:39, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget as above. Whether to retain the list becomes an AFD question. This was probably a rename or something. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:23, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Computer administrator → Superuser (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Should this point to System administrator instead because that already has a hatnote. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 02:29, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget per nom. Thryduulf (talk) 09:56, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget - the administrator of a single computer is usually the prime user themselves. And a collection of single computers in a business setting would all be maintained by a system administrator. Therefore retarget to that. Ref ^(chew)(do) 16:45, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget as above as that page provides a bunch of options in case the searcher wanted a more specific occupation. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:24, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget per all the above. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 02:55, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
