The result of the discussion was keep. Most participants feel this is comfortably the primary topic for the specific phrase with "Greater", and it's hatnoted appropriately. A

requested move would be recommended if there's an inclination to move the target to this title. ~ mazca ^talk 00:30, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Greater Bay Area →
  Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete
   ] 

Should the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area be the primary topic? This was a redirect to the Chinese one as of 2019. Prior to that, it was a redirect to Bay Area (disambiguation). Posting on behalf of editor who has COI on the article. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 21:13, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Posting on behalf of Fidan160. I have no 🐶 in this RFD. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 16:31, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Some quick Google searches indicate that the current target is likely the primary topic for the term, and the article already has an appropriate hatnote. I think we can keep this as-is. - Eureka Lott 23:29, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying. That sounds like a subject for a

Yes, that's a matter for

This is even more confusing. I only know of one place called "Bay Area" - the San Francisco Bay Area, where I live. I'd say support disambiguation. Aasim (talk) 04:48, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, as "Bay area" is generic, but "Greater Bay Area" specifially refers to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area. Félix An (talk) 18:58, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all your inputs. So far, I haven't come across with 'Greater Bay Area' term referring to another bay area, only to this one. Just recently another White Paper about Greater Bay Area has been released by Merck China, please follow it here https://www.merckgroup.com/content/dam/web/corporate/images/country-specifics/china/st-attachment/white-paper/Guangdong-Hong%20Kong-Macao%20Greater%20Bay%20Area%20Innovation%20Ecosystem%20White%20Paper.pdf. I will start updating the page nevertheless and if in the process there is a consensus to change the title of the page, then we do it. Thanks! Fidan160 (talk) 09:58, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The current target is very clearly the primary topic for the term "Greater Bay Area". Thryduulf (talk) 13:26, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. Really more of a no consensus, but since no one argued in favor of the status quo, disambiguation is a more suitable outcome. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 23:15, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment
  Conquest of New France (1758-1760) (a subtopic of the current target) gives La Conquête in its lead sentence as an alternative name. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 16:17, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Authoritazation → Democratic backsliding  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This seems to be a neologism. Results on Google Scholar and the internet appear to predominantly be typos of "authorization". Delete unless a justification can be provided. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 20:37, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak retarget to authorization as a typo. The current location would be a surprise if not mentioned as a neologism term. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 20:57, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete without redirect, the term has nothing to with the whole topic (democratic backsliding), no more relation then milk would relate to cow - sniff or authorized capital. However, AngusWOOF have a considerable point.(KIENGIR (talk) 13:14, 13 November 2020 (UTC))[reply]

  authoritarianization", which is a real usage. Delete as it could be a typo for multiple things. (t · c) buidhe 16:24, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply

The result of the discussion was retarget to Soundwave. Weak consensus for this, with no prejudice against renominating this page alongside similar redirects for a more thorough discussion. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 23:12, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Sound Wave → Sound#Longitudinal and transverse waves  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

At this capitalisation, this redirect should target disambiguation page

• Keep, as it is similar to
  Sound wave. It might confuse readers if the varying capitalization causes a redirect to a different page.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Félix An (talk • contribs) 18:53, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply
  ]
• Retarget to DAB page Soundwave as {{R from ambiguous term}} per my arguments at Soundwave, above.

This one had 3 links-in. All 3 were unnecessarily complicated (they were simply about sound). All had been piped as [[Sound Wave|sound wave]]. Narky Blert (talk) 15:39, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment
  Sound wave redirects to Longitudinal wave#Sound waves (in all cases the plural leads to the same target as the singular), but I think that they should all lead to the same place, I'm just not sure which is best. Maybe it would be better to close this discussion and start a new one to discuss all three together? Thryduulf (talk) 13:35, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Retarget to
  sound waves; someone who deliberately types in title case (or chooses it in a search popdown) probably is not looking for the common noun. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 15:25, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply

No mention of upcoming games at the target, delete unless someone intends to significantly change the scope of the target article _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:51, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete target article doesn’t have info on upcoming racing games, we don’t have such a list elsewhere on the site and something typing this a search term isn’t looking for info on racing games in general so the current target isn’t helpful.--65.92.160.124 (talk) 18:53, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Masanori Andoh → Saitama Seibu Lions  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect should be deleted. It is for a non-notable Japanese baseball player drafted by the Lions in 1997, however I cannot find any English-language information on him and per the ja:安藤正則 he never even played for its "major league" team, only its farm team. --Torsodog^Talk 05:32, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete one mention at List of Nippon Professional Baseball players (A), but it looks like that list should only contain players with Wikipedia articles (and the redlinks are there just because the list hasn't been kept up to date after AFDs), so it wouldn't be a good place to retarget. Without any other mention, we have nowhere to send readers trying to find information about him. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 06:22, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• 制服 → School uniforms in Japan  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is an ordinary dictionary word meaning "uniform" in three different languages (see wikt:制服). It doesn't just mean school uniforms either, but covers any kind of uniforms including military uniforms, work uniforms, etc. Therefore it's not appropriate as a redirect to one kind of uniform in one country which uses this term, and it seems rather dubious to create a {{Chinese title disambiguation}} at this lemma either. The best solution is either {{Wiktionary redirect}} or deletion. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 01:52, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: this redirect may cause confusion. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 13:44, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Soft redirect to Wiktionary since that page at Wiktionary seems to be a better target, and its also another lanuguage for clothing. However, the Wiktionary page does not mention about school uniforms. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 18:35, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete This redirection would cause many confusion due to the Redirect word being in another language that is simply called Clothing. --StaleGuy22 (talk) 01:44, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
