The result of the discussion was keep

Blade (templating engine); retarget Blade (software) to Blade (disambiguation)#Computing and technology. (non-admin closure) -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:13, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply

]

• Blade (templating engine) → Laravel  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I think we should delete this. I don't think this tag is necessary, since Blade (software) goes to the same place. Compassionate727 (talk) 19:00, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I think rather Blade (software) should be retargeted to Blade (disambiguation)#Computing and technology. The existence of BLADE (software) makes this ambiguous. --BDD (talk) 19:30, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: In a perfect world, this redirect might be confusing, but not so much in the real world. I've seen tens of much more confusing and much less usable redirects, and nobody seems to care about them. The retargeting proposed by BDD might be reasonable, though I'm not sure how much is it needed at all. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 20:45, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep retarget the other redirect to the disambiguation page -- 67.70.32.20 (talk) 05:34, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I looked at the disambiguation page. Blade (software) is used on the disambiguation page instead of it's target. Is this normal? Compassionate727 (talk) 13:06, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  It's the BLADE (software) article what's used on Blade (disambiguation), not Blade (software), which is a redirect. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 13:14, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Mouth Quest →
  Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete
   ] 

Delete: I think "Mouth Quest" by itself is a bit ambiguous. Compassionate727 (talk) 17:15, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as {{
  R to TV episode list entry}}. What else would it refer to? Nothing else on Wikipedia. --BDD (talk) 19:31, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply
  ]

• Keep - aside from references to the episode, the term "Mouth Quest" is not used on any other Wikipedia page [1]. When Googling "Mouth Quest" without quotes almost the entire first page of results is about the episode. [2] Grapesoda22 (talk) 20:00, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• WikiProject United States → Wikipedia:WikiProject United States  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete: I'm not aware of any other WikiProjects that have cross-namespace redirects. Doesn't seem consistent. Compassionate727 (talk) 17:11, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Treacka → Troika  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Implausible redirect. The page was initially created as a joke/hoax. Someone lazily decided to kill in by turning into a garbarge redirect -M.Altenmann >t 15:00, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete
  WP:G3 - hoax/nonsense, badly cleaned up. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:07, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply

• Snyder Avenue →
  Snyder (SEPTA station)  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete
   ] 

Synder Avenue isn't related to the target, except for the fact that the target is named after it. Not really worthy of a redirect, in my opinion. Compassionate727 (talk) 15:50, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Harmless. Si Trew (talk) 23:30, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But not particularly useful. Compassionate727 (talk) 01:06, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, but not harmful. The coin toss is really

WP:RFD#D5 overlap): if someone searching for Snyder Avenue did so, would they be surprised to come up with that station when they were looking for another Snyder Avenue (or Snider Avenue or Cinder Avenue) or what? How more Snide or Snyde would they be? There are plenty of stations named after the roads they are on, and vice versa, Station Road perhaps being the base case

.

many

Circle Line (London Underground) get from Hammersmith to Aldgate, but that's another story...) Si Trew (talk) 08:15, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply

• Delete There's clearly a connection here, but not enough discussion of the road at the target article to make this redirect helpful. --BDD (talk) 13:11, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as an {{R from incorrect name}}. Check out the picture at the SEPTA station article. The name says "Snyder Avenue." That could lead people to think the station is actually called that, at least in an informal or colloquial sense. -- Tavix ^(talk) 14:32, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Good point, Tavix. The article could still be improved with a description of the surrounding area, though. --BDD (talk) 17:23, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Fuzhou. --BDD (talk) 13:38, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Fúzhōu → Jiuzhaigou  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I don't find any mention in the target page. Probably retarget to Fuzhou or Fuzhou (disambiguation). GZWDer (talk) 09:30, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to
  overwhelmingly more likely to be looking for a provincial capital with seven million people, rather than any of the obscure former prefectures also named Fúzhōu listed at Fuzhou (disambiguation). 58.176.246.42 (talk) 13:59, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply

• --' → Somewhere in the Between  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I can't see the connection between this punctuation and the album.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  04:10, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Very strange. This used to redirect to the track Down, Down, Down To Mephisto's Cafe when it had a standalone article. But even as it was, I don't see where "--'" is supposed to be from. When it was redirected to the album page, the edit summary said the song was already described there. It was, and while the information has since been removed, I'm still not seeing any justification for this redirect. I'd think pagemove vandalism, but the user who did it doesn't look like a vandal. "--'" returns literally nothing in Google. --BDD (talk) 14:01, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't look like a vandal, but it does look like they stopped editing in 2008, then came back just to move this page to the nonsense title in 2010, and hasn't edited since. Maybe a hacked account? Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:03, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - nonsense. FTR, -- is code used by email programs to delineate the start of a signature, but I don't think it's worth having an encyclopedic redirect about that. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 14:11, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete G1. This is clearly nonsense. -- Tavix ^(talk) 14:33, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
