- 123 Sesame Streer (series) → Sesame Street syndication packages (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Misspelled. LaundryPizza03 (talk) 23:35, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete as unlikely typo. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:03, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete as the page history plainly indicates that the original author that created the redirect did so from a page move back in 2008, but forgot to address the redirect. ToThAc (talk) 14:31, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.

- Juego de tronos → Game of Thrones (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Article makes no mention of "Juego de tronos" - Lookng on Google it;s a translation of Game of Thrones however as we're an English Wikipedia shouldn't redirects be in English ?, If policy states this is fine I'll withdraw, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 22:54, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Not strongly affiliated with that language. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:04, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per nom and WP:FORRED. Foreign-language redirects are helpful in some cases, but this isn't one of them. Target doesn't discuss or even mention the Spanish name of the series, and I don't see any particular reason it should discuss it. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 05:32, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Goft[edit]
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was retarget to Gaft, Sabzevar. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:49, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
Never been called "Goft" nor is it known as such, Have no idea what the "f" is supposed to mean but anyway not a known misspelling, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 22:51, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- I believe it is supposed to be Game of Thrones. No comment as to the validity of the redirect, but thought it should be clarified what the redirect is intended to mean. Killiondude (talk) 00:09, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
Weak deletewhile Killiondude does have a good point and illustrates what I also concluded it most likely to mean, I do believe it to be too vague to have as a redirect. If it were to be kept, it world have to be renamed to remove potential ambiguity which is present. A minor concern is that it could actually be confused Golf as a plausible redirect as it is just a couple of letters off (off by one, with the "f" one spot to the left). --TheSandDoctor (talk) 04:13, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment the article on the tiny Iranian village of Gaft, Sabzevar says that Goft is another romanisation of its name. (Oddly enough, another village with an identical Farsi spelling, Gaft, Joghatai, doesn't mention any alternative romanisations.) Not sure if worth a retarget or what. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 04:18, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Well FWIW I'd support retargeting to Gaft, Sabzevar, Gaft, Joghatai makes no mention of "Goft" so in some ways I think that could be a long stretch whereas the Sab one has "Goft" mentioned so I think retargeting there would probably be best (I can't close RFDs so if anyone wanted to close as such I'd have no objections). –Davey2010Talk 04:26, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Retarget in light of the above comment, I change my !vote to retarget. I do not have a particular preference to which one it should be redirected to, however (maybe a disambig page could be a useful solution?) --TheSandDoctor (talk) 17:15, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment if it's an alternative spelling for Gaft in Farsi, then it could redirect to Gaft. The phrase "Goft-o-Gu" means dialogue and seems to be used a lot in various articles. I have never seen the media referred to as G of T but GoT. There's also God of Thunder as a video game. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:12, 5 January 2018 (UTC) updated 00:05, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- Retarget to Gaft, Sabzevar as the most plausible target per above --Lenticel (talk) 01:18, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

- Game of Thranes → Game of Thrones (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Nothing notable pops up and this doesn't seem like a common mispelling, It's no different to having "Game of Thrines" or "Game of Threnes" - Both aren't known typos and imho neither is this, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 22:50, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:17, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was delete. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:48, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Game of Butts → Game of Thrones (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Some sort of non-notable quiz apparently - Again the GOT article makes no mention of this so again seems pointless keeping, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 22:46, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete I agree that it does not seem pertinent information to keep based on the fact that it appears to be a non-notable quiz of some sort and not mentioned within the article itself. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 04:24, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete unless there's a list of notable snowclones on the Game of Thrones page. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:18, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete it was a fun pop quiz/interview for the cast bot I can't see it notable within the franchise itself --Lenticel (talk) 11:08, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.
Game of Bones[edit]
Relisted, see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 January 12#Game of Bones
Gladys Knight & Ron Winan's Chicken & Waffels[edit]
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was delete. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:47, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Gladys Knight & Ron Winan's Chicken & Waffels → Chicken and waffles (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Unused redirect covering a misspelling ("Waffels"), pointing to an article where the topic is not mentioned. Ibadibam (talk) 22:11, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- I agree; get rid of this useless redirect. Chris the speller yack 22:47, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Note: the correctly spelled redirect, Gladys Knight & Ron Winans' Chicken & Waffles, redirects to a section at Gladys Knight. -- Tavix (talk) 04:24, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete as unlikely typo especially with two in there and Waffels being the most unlikely. Winan's vs Winans would be likely. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:15, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.
Climate change in Maldives[edit]
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was retarget to Maldives#Environmental issues. While Global warming may not have been the best target for this redirect, it is definitely appropriate for this redirect to be pointed at the environmental issues section of the country which it is about the issues in. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this closure, please do let me know.
I realize that this is an early closure, but it does make sense as a plausible {{R from subtopic}}. With that said, I am more than open to reverting this closure in favour of further discussion if you believe it warranted (just let me know on my talk page). (non-admin closure) TheSandDoctor (talk) 04:08, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Climate change in Maldives → Global warming (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Only one mention at target, and none at all at Climate change. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 21:41, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Redirect to Maldives#Environmental_issues as a plausible {{R from subtopic}}. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 22:02, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Agree that the best solution is Redirect to Maldives#Environmental_issues. Pichpich (talk) 02:17, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Way Down Mexico Way (Beavis and Butt-head episode)[edit]
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was keep. This redirect could prove useful in the future and appears to be a case of {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}. Additionally, Way Down Mexico Way now exists as a redirect. As usual, if you have any questions or concerns regarding this closure, please feel free to reach out to me on my talk page (and please remain civil) (non-admin closure) TheSandDoctor (talk) 17:20, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- Way Down Mexico Way (Beavis and Butt-head episode) → List of Beavis and Butt-Head episodes#ep16 (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The page Way Down Mexico Way does not exist. LaundryPizza03 (talk) 20:07, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep as in a case like this, there is evidence that a redirect at the ambiguous title should be created. With that being said, Way Down Mexico Way now exists, and the nominated redirect serves as a {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}} variation. Steel1943 (talk) 05:16, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Per WP:CRYSTAL. --Nevé–selbert 18:18, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:CRYSTAL, very unlikely we'll have an election this year. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:56, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:CRYSTAL, as the next general election for the UK is scheduled in 2022, not this year. ToThAc (talk) 14:27, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

WP:MAINARTICLE[edit]
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was no consensus. This doesn't preclude WP:BOLD action here, but is maybe cause to think twice. --BDD (talk) 21:21, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
It's weird that this shortcut doesn't exist and go somewhere useful, given the frequency with which we use the term "main article". I'm uncertain of the best target for this. My best guess is Wikipedia:Summary style, but that's more about splitting stuff off of main articles, rather than about what makes a main article main. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 15:01, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: I agree that Wikipedia:Summary style is the most appropriate target, yet another potential target (or potential point of confusion) might be Wikipedia:Broad-concept article. Note that WP:MAIN redirects to the Wikipedia front page: both WP:MAIN and Wikipedia:Broad-concept article might be potential hatnote or "See also" candidates. --Animalparty! (talk) 22:41, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
- Also, it's worth noting that Wikipedia:Main article redirects to Template:Main (is it normal for WP pages to redirect to templates?) and there is a similarly named essay entitled Wikipedia:Main article fixation. More food for thought. --Animalparty! (talk) 22:45, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
- And there are also main articles in the context of Wikipedia:Content forking. – Uanfala (talk) 22:53, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
- Also, it's worth noting that Wikipedia:Main article redirects to Template:Main (is it normal for WP pages to redirect to templates?) and there is a similarly named essay entitled Wikipedia:Main article fixation. More food for thought. --Animalparty! (talk) 22:45, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

- Disambiguate, given all these possible targets, and possibly retarget other redirects here. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 20:02, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Deletion. Confused with West Kowloon Station. 222.167.166.187 (talk) 15:00, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation is not involved with the high-speed rail line. feminist (talk) 16:36, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete: @Feminist: Please note that "At the meeting of the Executive Council on September 12, 2017, the Council advised and the Chief Executive ordered that the land or interests or other rights in respect of land for the operation of the Hong Kong Section of the XRL should be vested in and the movable assets of the XRL be assigned to the KCRC at nominal value. The KCRC shall then grant a service concession to operate the XRL to the MTRCL according to the Supplemental Service Concession Agreement." 222.167.166.187 (talk) 15:50, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

- Delete seems to generate more confusion than it resolves. (KCR) and (KCRC) aren't sufficient as disambiguators, and it's probably not worth it to create a separate disambiguation page that resolves the confusion. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 05:27, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

- Death and state funeral of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh → Operation London Bridge (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I don't think this is a satisfactory redirect. The target article does mention that Prince Philip's funeral plans are called "Operation Forth Bridge", but no where does it say what those plans are. -- Tavix (talk) 16:17, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete as creator. Over zealous biographing, clear violation of WP:CRYSTAL. No Swan So Fine (talk) 16:38, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

- Weight Training/ Bodybuilding → Bodybuilding (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete as an WP:XY between Weight training and bodybuilding in addition to the weird formatting. -- Tavix (talk) 04:57, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete, yes, based on WP:XY. I don't know why one would search for this entire phrase. Largoplazo (talk) 17:36, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per nom --Lenticel (talk) 11:09, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. ToThAc (talk) 02:17, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was delete. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:46, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Jeff Wenzel → Bodybuilding (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Connection is unclear since the subject is not mentioned at the target. -- Tavix (talk) 04:51, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete Of no value since there is no information or even insight at the target on Jeff Wenzel. Largoplazo (talk) 17:33, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete target does not and should not mention individual non-notable bodybuilders. Retargeting to the only other place in Wikipedia that mentions a Jeff Wenzel (1987 Philadelphia Eagles season) does not seem appropriate either, since that article has no other incoming redirects for individual team members. 59.149.124.29 (talk)

- 2010 Junior worlds → 2010 World Junior Championships (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not a useful redirect. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 04:42, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. It's common shorthand to refer to a junior world championship as just "junior worlds" or "world juniors". ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 20:04, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep per Patar knight. I agree that it is a plausible redirect due to the common colloquial name for world junior championship events. Here are a couple uses of the phrasing 12 CBS sports Yahoo Sports. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 04:19, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

- Peter Daniel (footballer) → Peter Daniel (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Redirect goes to a DAB page, for all Peter Daniels, not a SIA page for just the Peter Daniels that are involved in football. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 04:37, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Withdrawing per incorrect nomination. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 14:37, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep, redirect works exactly how it should. See WP:INCOMPDAB and {{R from incomplete disambiguation}}. -- Tavix (talk) 04:54, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

- Actor (mythology) will not speak out class → Actor (mythology) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not a useful redirect. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 04:36, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- This seems to have been created by Boothy443 in a 2005 move. However, there is no record of this in the move log. LaundryPizza03 (talk) 13:50, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Whatever it was created for, it doesn't serve a useful purpose now. I can't see any reason a user would search for this; if it was originally due to some article text, piped links make it unnecessary now. P Aculeius (talk) 14:12, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - I agree. I can't see this as being useful. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 15:43, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - Boothy443's edit summary was entered manually and not the result of a move function move. I see a few other "move"s like this in their early editing history, it's possible they didn't understand at the time how moves are supposed to work, and just made a mistake with this one. There's nothing in any logs I can find that suggests the page now at Actor (mythology) was ever at this title, although it was created only a couple weeks prior to this entry.
