• Darren Douglas → Barry Gallup  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This was kept before (Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2013 December 27#Darren Douglas) but it seems to be the first name and middle name of a person mentioned in the article, and it looks like this was not noticed at the last discussion. There are other articles where people with this name are mentioned, or where these are first name and middle name of the subject. Peter James (talk) 16:58, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete it's a
  WP:PTM (first+middle) for a couple of people, but that's not suitable for either a redirect or disambiguation. The only person mentioned in English Wikipedia by this name is a comic book artist; however, he's mentioned on two different articles, meaning that redirecting to one of them isn't a good option either. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 05:37, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Delete. The current target is a non-notable mention and Search is better. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:58, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Trivial mention, impedes search of many other people with the given name Darren Douglas.—Bagumba (talk) 09:06, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Draft:Angelique Rockas → Angelique Rockas  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Draft was turned into a redirect to a pre-existing article. It looks as though it was abandoned when the mainspace article was discovered. It has subsequently been cleared and 'deleted' added as the only content. The page was not merged or moved AFAICT and there shoul;d not be attribution issues. It is a redundant redirect that does not serve any purpose. Eagleash (talk) 13:10, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a made-up Nintendo console. Not mentioned in the target article. Can't find sources which said the Gameboy DS "was" the Nintendo DS. Purplneon486 (talk) 11:20, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adding three more redirects. Purplneon486 (talk) 10:16, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Not an official term used by Nintendo at any point, nor a colloquialism that I can find any evidence for beyond this. Note that there is also Game Boy DS, Nintendo gameboy ds, and Game Boy Advance 2. Zigongosaurus1138 (talk) 16:25, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all No evidence that the DS was known by any of these names.--76.67.170.18 (talk) 06:05, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all These are quite redundant and misleading. The closest correct redirect is the GameBoy Advance 2, due to backwards comparability between the DS and GBA. CaptainGalaxy 16:53, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• File:I’m Thinking Of Ending Things poster.jpeg → File:I'm Thinking Of Ending Things poster.jpeg  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Originally nominated for speedy deletion by @Nyxaros with the reason "it is not linked in any page" FASTILY 01:21, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as unambiguous. It's an {{
  WP:FILEREDIRECT apply. The difference between this redirect and the target is that this redirect employs a curly apostrophe instead of a straight one. — J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 03:58, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply

•  Comment: Redirects should work if the reader will use it at least on the search bar. A curly apostroph doesn't change anything, in addition to the redirect page with zero incoming links from other pages. nyxærös 06:14, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This was only at the original title for less than a day. Fixing any incoming links is a trivial matter. Link rot concerns don't apply for such a short time at the original title. Redirects to files are not especially useful to begin with, since they're not being searched for by readers, and for NFCC stuff specifically, since their use is so limited. This should really be a speedy criterion for this. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 14:21, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't see the point to delete a redirect that doesn't cause any harm, let alone speedy delete it – especially when such a deletion contradicts guidelines. — J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 22:05, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per
  WP:FILEREDIRECT since it is a {{R from move}}. That, and the difference between the apostrophes couldn't plausibly refer to anything else. Steel1943 (talk) 12:05, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Delete. Had the mover possessed pagemover rights, the creation of this redirect would certainly have been suppressed, appropriately so. The presence of pagetitles containing the curly apostrophe (whatever the namespace) is currently
  WP:COSTLY given the state of availalbe maintenance tools. UnitedStatesian (talk) 12:47, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Keep per
  WP:FILEREDIRECT and {{R from move}}. A curly apostrophes redirecting to a straight one is in pretty much every conceivable scenario going to be an example of a harmless and potentially useful redirect, and this is no exception. Tools should always, without exception, deal with the encyclopaedia as they find it - adjusting the encyclopaedia solely to make life easier for maintenance tools is never appropriate.
