The result of the discussion was Speedy delete per WP:CSD#G7. Thryduulf (talk) 15:56, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect from a German term which per se is not dealt with in the target article. Hence, I recommend deletion. Neufund (talk) 19:03, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I accidentally created that redirect, thinking this term was used in English too. As the sole creator I agree it should be deleted. Tokenzero (talk) 12:58, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was reverse redirect. (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) 06:44, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should this redirect to the TV series (which means the TV series should likely be moved to this title...), or to Dieting#Food diary (as Food diary does)?... Seems to me the correct answer is the latter. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:40, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How would someone find the TV show if they didn't capitalize properly? 83.216.92.96 (talk) 04:31, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The proposal is to add a Hatnote at the top of both articles pointing to the other. See Red Meat and Red meat for an example. Thryduulf (talk) 15:59, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Minimal input but there's enough recent precedence for me to be comfortable with even the ones from the mid-aughts. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 18:54, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. These redirects all have more closing than opening parentheses (some related to disambiguation, some not), none seem plausible redirects and none have a significant number of page views, but none are subject to speedy deletion. With the exception of the last redirect all have long-standing redirects from the same title without the missing parenthesis; I've just created the redirect for Austin of Canterbury. Thryduulf (talk) 14:04, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. No notable uses of closed parenthesis in these media. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:11, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not all these are media titles, e.g. "Austin of Canterbury" is a person and "Ashfall Fossil Beds" is a place. Thryduulf (talk) 18:15, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Insight (Software)[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 Insight (disambiguation). (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) 06:52, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

incorrect target and uppercase parenthesis not useful for retargeting. The obvious target is Insight Enterprises, but we also have at least one article with a mention of a separate company insightsoftware.com so potential disambiguation issue - may be best to delete per wrong caps. Redir not in use. Widefox; talk 12:02, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete These redirects all have more closing than opening parentheses (some related to disambiguation, some not) and don't seem to be particularly useful, but I'm not confident enough they were obviously mistaken creations to speedy delete them under criterion G6 and they are all too old for R3. Thryduulf (talk) 08:58, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete/Rename As the person who created "1912 Queensland state election)", I assume all of these were just made in error, probably a copy and paste error that picked up the closing parenthesis. So I would say delete them, replacing them if required redirect without the closing parenthesis as that was almost certainly what was originally intended. Kerry (talk) 00:03, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom as WP:RDAB errors. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:12, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • @AngusWOOF: As I explicitly noted in the nomination only some of these are related to disambiguation, "2014–15 Midland Football League)" for example isn't. Thryduulf (talk) 18:14, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • Even the ones that are not don't have the exclusive closing parenthesis in the media title. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:17, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • What have media titles got to do with anything other than the last redirect? I'm not arguing for them to be kept (exactly the opposite) but they shouldn't be deleted for reasons that are irrelevant to them. Thryduulf (talk) 19:51, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
