2016 gubernatorial election[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 List of elections in 2016.---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:41, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The title of this redirect is too broad for current realities. Even in Nigeria, Edo State is not the only state with a gubernatorial election in 2016. Ondo State, Bayelsa State, Kogi State, etc all had some form of governorship elections dragged to 2016. It is also very likely that there will be some governorship elections in some other countries around the world. In my opinion, this redirect serves little positive purpose.

  • Delete per nom. There have been (and will be) many gubernatorial elections this year. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 23:12, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment which other 2016 gubernatorial election? can you list them please. Thanks. Stanleytux (talk) 01:50, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Stanleytux: see, for example, United States gubernatorial elections, 2016. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 03:40, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, seen. well then, this could serve as a disambiguation page instead. What you think? Stanleytux (talk) 05:27, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I also support disambiguating this title, if an appropriate disambiguation page were to be created. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 10:30, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of elections in 2016 as that covers multiple gubernatorial elections and in case the person needs to look up other similar elections. I just found another one from the Philippines on that list. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:29, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Added Nigerian elections to list. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:40, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Would it not be best to turn it into a DAB page? Number 57 16:42, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to list of elections in 2016 per AngusWOOF. Disambiguating would effectively mean yet another set of "lists of elections by year by type" to maintain in addition to the main articles (since once there's a consensus to disambiguate 2016 gubernatorial elections, we'll get another for 2015 mayoral elections, 2014 judicial elections, etc.). Might be better just to have the yearly article include a table sortable by type of election. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 02:30, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to list of elections in 2016 per 210. -- Tavix (talk) 20:06, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reunion (band)[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. Consensus is that keeping the redirect is fine and that the "band" is arguably only notable for this song. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 16:38, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think this redirect should be deleted in order to encourage a creation of an article. I'm not sure if redirecting a band to a song is appropriate. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:07, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep: I don't see how deleting the redirect is going to encourage anyone to create the article. Once when I created a redirect someone turned it into an article the next day! I have updated the target with a redlink to the band and added {{r to related topic}} to the redirect, both of which changes may help. The redirect will help anyone typing Reunion in the search box and hoping for information about the band. --Mirokado (talk) 00:29, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment having a WP:REDLINK will show people that an article needs to be created. On the other hand, was this actually a "band" (the target describes them as "an ad hoc group of studio musicians")? And on the third hand, for those of you who have one, did they actually produce any notable works besides the target? 210.6.254.106 (talk) 02:35, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as I don't think the "band" has any notability outside the song. -- Tavix (talk) 01:53, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Transfiguration (song)[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 Transfiguration#Music. -- Tavix (talk) 01:01, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think this redirect would be more appropriate to Open Heaven / River Wild because Transfiguration of Vincent has songs titled Transfiguration #1 and Transfiguration #2. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:03, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Added Transfiguration #1 and #2 to the DAB list. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:17, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete, per WP:R3. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:51, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Page created with a typo. Contents have since been moved to Divided We Fall (album) after a technical request. This essentially qualifies for redir typo, but it's so new that I thought RfD was appropriate. See Talk:Divided W Fall as well. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 16:43, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

R3 is literally for newly created, implausible redirects. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 18:47, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:XY; see also Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 June 22#Tommy Vannelli Joeykai (talk) 07:11, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Being selected in a draft doesn't mean the person is notable enough to get a page or a redirect. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:50, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I think we have reasonable precedent for this. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 19:32, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Lots of precedent that there are too many possible redirects for this possible person. Being redirected to just the draft article which barely mentions him does not seem appropriate. -DJSasso (talk) 10:59, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bullet King[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 Withrdawn by nominator. I withdraw this nomination because the content has been readded. Anarchyte (work | talk) 12:36, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Bullet King" and "glitch" isn't mentioned in the target article. Note that the redirect was made as a result of an AfD. Anarchyte (work | talk) 05:39, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

At the time the redirect was created, the article did mention the glitch (see this version). The section was deleted in this edit by ViperSnake151 with no explanation, despite the fact that the glitch had received a fair amount of press -- not enough for a standalone article, as decided at the AFD, but enough for mention in the game's main article. The solution, of course, is to restore the "Notable glitch" section (done), making this a valid and useful redirect. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:24, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. -- Tavix (talk) 00:54, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

These redirects are not useful because the name of the subject does not include a slash, subpages are disabled in mainspace, and the redirects were created in 2012, not in the early days of Wikipedia. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 04:09, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
