• Erection angle → Human penis#Erection angle  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

 Question: What should we do with this redirect? It currently points (excuse the unintended pun) to

• Delete - This appears to be somehow both too specific and too vague for it to properly go to anything. Any constructed physical object in the world can be positioned at a noticeable angle. Deletion is probably the right call. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 23:12, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as ambiguous. This was the decisive question at issue in Catnic Components Ltd v Hill & Smith Ltd, which (as regrettably so often in patent cases) had nothing to do with penises. Narky Blert (talk) 23:35, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete/Nom Position I'm not ambivalent between disambiguation and deletion any longer. So, I'm favouring deletion per
  WP:R#D2. No prejudice to future dabification or article creation, of course, in the future. Doug Mehus T·C 00:01, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Privy member → Human penis  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I'm recommending we delete this redirect privy member (presumably, a slang term for the penis), due to a lack of mention in the current target,

• Strong keep. 'Privy member' meaning 'penis' has been standard English for at least 400 years. "He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD." - Deut 23:1 (
  KJV). Narky Blert (talk) 23:41, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply
  ]

Okay, fair enough, can we add a hatnote at the two Queen's Privy Council articles to human penis and, in turn, to the human penis article at the two Queen's Privy Council articles? Doug Mehus T·C 23:45, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - If this isn't yet mentioned in that article then it absolutely should be. The proliferation of the term genuinely surprises me. It's not just simply used in the Bible but has literally been incorporated into legal statute (see here). Seeing the term being used formally to refer to a government official appears to be extraordinarily rare. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 23:46, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, and great source. With your and Narky's responses, I'm leaning towards withdrawing my nomination, but waiting on Narky Blert to concur with the hatnotes. Doug Mehus T·C 23:49, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose hatnotes. The only time any Privy Councillor will have been called a Privy Member will have been as an insult. I remembered that KJV quote from my
  CofE upbringing. The expression is unambiguous. Narky Blert (talk) 00:01, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply

• On-topic light relief. Narky Blert (talk) 00:08, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose hatnotes - I agree. Nobody's going to call a public servant this without trying to be pejorative. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 00:14, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• KRIT-FM → KMYX-FM  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete. The California radio station KMYX-FM has not used the callsign KRIT or any variation of it, at least since 1980, according to FCC records. There is another FM station with the callsign KRIT (no suffix) that has been in operation in Parker, Arizona, since 2002, but apparently there is not yet a Wikipedia article about it. R'n'B (call me Russ) 22:38, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom, and, specifically, for
  WP:R#D8 (<10 pageviews in the last year). Doug Mehus T·C 22:42, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply
  ]
• Possibly disambiguate? I say 'possibly', because in my experience DABfixing callsign links can be a nightmare. Narky Blert (talk) 23:49, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I've neutrally requested Bearcat's wise counsel in consideration of the potential for dabification, as Bearcat is known for helping to maintain most of the world's licensed commercial station articles on Wikipedia. Doug Mehus T·C 00:10, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This was a bit of a confusing one to sort out, but the traditional practice of
  primary topic precedence for the name. A station that had the call sign 30 years ago can be hatnoted if there's a valid reason to believe people might actually be searching for it with this call sign, or just ignored if there isn't — but it doesn't really require a full disambiguation page. Bearcat (talk) 03:05, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply
  ]
• Delete: As far as I can tell, KMYX-FM has never been KRIT-FM… or even just KRIT for that matter. The Arizona station with the KRIT call sign is co-owned with KMYX-FM, and this owner runs similar programming on all its stations, but the two stations are too far apart for there to be any further connection. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 12:42, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Cinq → 5  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Ambiguous with other things known as "cinq". Retarget to cinque. -- Soumyabrata (talk • subpages) 12:18, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Support. 'Cinq' isn't mentioned in '5' but is in 'cinque'. Narky Blert (talk) 14:40, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Question for Narky Blert, why, though? We have other pages beginning with cinq that don't have ue following them? Doug Mehus T·C 20:06, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambiguate (changing !vote). Draft DAB page added below the RFD notice. (@Dmehus: - good point.)

I urge in the strongest possible terms that everyone read Jay Rayner's restaurant review of Le Cinq, Paris. He has a way with words. Narky Blert (talk) 20:58, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• British Council (British Isles) → British–Irish Council  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Not the actual name of the organization or an accepted alias of it. Disambiguation does not really help confusion with British Council. buidhe 05:20, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The British-Irish Council has more governmental parties than just UK (there's a clue in the name). British Council is UK only, not British Isles. Narky Blert (talk) 14:45, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  WP:ATT to keep this? I'd like to hear what Leonard G., and others, say. If the editor doesn't reply within a week, this redirect should be relisted at least once, to have a fulsome conversation. Doug Mehus T·C 20:10, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Question for Rosguill: What do you think? Leonard G. created both this article and a wikibook in Electric Vehicle Conversion in or around the same day? I'm inclined to favour delete here because the of the close/same dates and that the creating editor is the same account. It seems like this was more of a rough draft of a preliminary chapter. But, I'd like to hear your thoughts, first. Doug Mehus T·C 20:16, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have basically no experience with Wikibooks and don't think I have any special insight into this issue. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 21:06, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Most people would assume that there would be an article on a real plague on the other side of this redirect page. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 06:12, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete If a-Tolkien ever named the years in the main text of LotR (he doen's) or B-this plague happened, or was even mentioned in the narrative of a book by Tolkien published during his lifetime, than maybe it would be worth having a redirect to. The thing is, I can't recall him mentioning the plague at all, and if he did it would not have been by year.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:06, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  List of epidemics includes one in 1636 in England, though there's no reference or indication what disease was involved. --BDD (talk) 14:27, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply
  ]
• Retarget to Gondor#Great Plague, which goes to the same section as now, Gondor#Decline. The text (already) says "Great Plague"; I removed the fictional dates as too much like fan-clutter but for the price of a redirect I'd say this one was just about worth keeping. Alternatively there could be a disambiguation page. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:59, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak disambiguate to Gondor#Great Plague per Chiswick Chap's nice find and edits to enhance the mention there, to Great Plague of London, and to others (to be added as needed); failing that,

Retarget to

Epidemiology of plague, with hatnotes to Gondor#Great Plague and Great Plague of London, per Soumya-8974. Doug Mehus T·C 23:57, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply

]

• Delete. This is a strong case of
  WP:RFD#DELETE #1 to me: a redirect to a fictional plague makes it harder to find articles on real plagues that could plausibly be called the same thing. Compounding this is the fact that there is little to no coverage of the plague in the target article. Since "Plague of 1636" is neither an established name for the plague in Gondor nor for the one in London, I think our users are best served by the search results. BenKuykendall (talk) 05:00, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Delete per nom and BenKuykendall. Not least because Retarget and hatnote per Soumyabrata. there were non-fictional outbreaks of plague in at least London and Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1636. Narky Blert (talk) 07:54, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I could get behind that target. I actually think that's one of the better approaches, short of disambiguation. We have lots of potential targets (at least 3-4); deletion cases have not been prosecuted successfully. Doug Mehus T·C 16:30, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I can live with that. Retarget to

• Retarget - I'd go specifically to '
  Epidemiology of plague#Second pandemic: from 14th century to 19th century'. The above arguments make a lot of sense. The real events are certainly more notable than the fictional narrative. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 01:21, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply
