- The result of the discussion was Retarget. (non-admin closure) Asmodea Oaktree (talk) 19:26, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
- 2012 Hurricane season → 2012 Atlantic hurricane season (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- 2014 hurricane season → 2014 Atlantic hurricane season (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Those redirects could also mean a hurricane season in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, so they are ambiguous. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 16:47, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to Tropical cyclones in 2012 and Tropical cyclones in 2014, respectively. -- Tavix (talk) 17:08, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget 2012 Hurricane season to Tropical cyclones in 2012 and 2014 hurricane season to Tropical cyclones in 2014 per Tavix. This course of action would be better to help guide readers towards a less ambiguous target. Regards, SONIC678 18:50, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget both per Tavix. CycloneYoris talk! 18:51, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget I would go with Tavix and Sonic678. -Cupper52 (talk) 19;54, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget per above. Thryduulf (talk) 21:40, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retarget to List of non-Japanese Doraemon versions. (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) | Americans, unite 06:30, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
Not mentioned in target. Onel5969 TT me 21:26, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Taiwanese name of Doraemon (小叮噹). See List of non-Japanese Doraemon versions, but Doraemon still makes better sense as target. _dk (talk) 21:41, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to List of non-Japanese Doraemon versions, which actually contains this term now. Pointing to a target which does not contain this term will just confuse the reader who is left wondering whether their search term is an {{R from subtopic}}, {{R from former name}}, or what. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 23:22, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 05:48, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget per the IP. Thryduulf (talk) 21:42, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget per anon. --Lenticel (talk) 01:17, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget per IP but just to let you know the user who created the page was blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet of another user. ~Cupper (talk) 16:57, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) | Americans, unite 06:30, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:RDIS → Wikipedia:Dispute resolution (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This redirect is nearly never used; it's linked on around 6 pages and has 2 views in the last 30 days as of writing. Ghinga7 (talk) 03:39, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Keep - A reasonable shortcut. Unless it could be pointed somewhere better, there is no reason to take action upon this. In existence since 2005; it may be linked externally etc. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 04:40, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- @User:Godsy I found this by randomly typing different letters after "WP:." This could just as easily go here or even here. I still prefer deleting it, however, as it seems useless. Then again, the creator of the redirect was blocked years ago for making useless edits like the creation of this page. Ghinga7 (talk) 17:51, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep – It means Resolution of DISpute when you expand the acronym. However, "dispute resolution" is still more common. --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 09:46, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Ambiguity is not an issue for project space redirects, especially when they are related to their target (as this is). Unless there is some better target for this (I'm not aware of any) then there is no benefit to anything other than keeping. Thryduulf (talk) 21:44, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was Revert to 7. November 2020 version.. (non-admin closure) Asmodea Oaktree (talk) 14:09, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
- Nick Jr. (disambiguation) → Category:Nick Jr. (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Categories are not disambiguation pages, so either dabify or delete per WP:G14. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 01:00, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Revert to version of 7 November 2017 (link), which was a DAB page (though it could do with a light cleanup for WP:DABMENTION and WP:DBC). Narky Blert (talk) 08:32, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Revert to disambiguation page. Bringing it here was unnecessary. - Eureka Lott 16:00, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. The list of international channels should be (and to a degree, is) at Nick Jr.#International. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 20:04, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- Revert per above. If you think the disambiguation page should be deleted then by all means nominate it at AfD. Thryduulf (talk) 21:46, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

- Howard C. Cross → Battelle Memorial Institute (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not mentioned at the target, delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 00:34, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Delete it seems that he's a scientist that works in said institution but his claim to fame is more about his alleged research on Roswell UFO's memory metal. Anyways, I think we don't have a good target for the redirect at the moment, even at Roswell UFO incident.--Lenticel (talk) 08:46, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
