The result of the discussion was retarget to IUCN Red List endangered species (Plantae). (non-admin closure) -- Tavix (talk) 02:50, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect is overly precise, and the target does not contain the specific information that is stated in the redirect. The title of the redirect could potential make the reader believe that they are being led to a list of endangered species of flora. Steel1943 (talk) 21:40, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to create Endangered species of fauna to target IUCN Red List endangered species (Animalia) as a result of this conversation. They should be companion redirects. -- Tavix (talk) 02:50, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Template:ESp. (All transclusions of the redirect were resolved prior to making this change.) (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 21:58, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ambiguous with the semi-protected edit request response template, {{ESp}}. I suggest per WP:XY that the existing transclusions (there are 76) be corrected and this redirect be deleted. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 20:57, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That solution works for me too. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 00:33, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 02:06, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, misleading redirect as it redirects not to a light house but to a place that has hardly any info about the lighthouse The Banner talk 16:57, 8 August 2015 (UTC) Manually added due to Twinkle glitch[reply]

Then redirect those disambiguation pages to that same target. -- Tavix (talk) 20:39, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SimonTrew: We have over 42,000 redirects that use US postal abbreviations, see Category:Redirects from US postal abbreviations. -- Tavix (talk) 15:58, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And this isn't one of them. Probabably should add that cat, but hesitant to do so while we're discussing it, although seems to be WP:SNOWBALLing to a keep. Si Trew (talk) 11:42, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Been thinking about it, and perhaps both the mus and the microns should be kept? Never know what someone might paste into a search field. – Paine  04:02, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Please see Micropolitan Statistical Area (µSA). Yours aye,  Buaidh  19:37, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • (For all) – Hence why the symbol should be "micro" rather than the Greek letter "mu". What some people miss is that despite its appearance, "µSA" is not a stylized initialism for "United States of America". It is instead the initialism for "Micropolitan Statistical Area". – Paine  14:41, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per myself at the Batavia Rfd. Tavix and 58.176 have already pointed out my rationale, I'm just jumping on the snow pile. I did not realize that there was a separate symbol for micron, but for the purposes of redirection I don't think that it matters: they are very difficult to distinguish visually and so it's a highly plausible typo.

--Lenticel (talk) 02:44, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Thanatology, although post mortemautopsy might also do; the distinction I suppose is between studying one dead'un and all of us. I can see Lenticel's quandary, but since we don't have an article on the book, for now we serve readers better to link it to something: anyone can overwrite the R with an article, and we encourage that at the very top of RfD. Si Trew (talk) 04:20, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
DAB it. Come to think of it, if Lenticel and I are in quandaries then others will be, so that seems a good reason to create a disambiguation page with the entries Lenticel and I gave. As Lenticel says, the (presumably philosophy) book is "The" meaning, not just "Meaning", but at a DAB that should be OK...
  • Feifel, Herman, ed. (1965). The Meaning of Death. McGraw-Hill. ISBN 978-0070203471.
but that can then be a redlink on the DAB page (I think). Si Trew (talk) 04:41, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I made a Draft:Meaning of death for y'all's consideration. Needs a polish. Si Trew (talk) 10:04, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Looks okay Si Trew --Lenticel (talk) 00:31, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Create a disambiguation page - This can very plausibly relate to the 'cause of death' in a specific sense (so someone is looking for the autopsy article) or for other, more philosophical things; so, a new page makes sense. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:58, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural close, please, as converted to DAB page. I have listed the draft at CSD for WP:G6, WP:G7, I made a copy-pasted move over the redirect because the only history on the page was my several typos, but no other editor contributed to the draft, so the history is not worth keeping. Si Trew (talk) 07:52, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I hadn't thought of the bleeding obvious cause of death which is an article in its own right. Will add that to the new DAB. Si Trew (talk) 11:48, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete Just Chilling (talk) 21:06, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since the word "alive" is several different meanings (see wikt:alive), this redirect is rather ambiguous, and too ambiguous to be useful. Steel1943 (talk) 00:07, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not any more, I WP:BOLDly made it an R to Solid-state physics; at the DAB it went via the R at Solid state physics. I hatnoted at its new target. Si Trew (talk) 01:35, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Potentially ambiguous, as one could search this in relation to depression as well. Additionally, this is a highly unlikely search target. ~ RobTalk 22:22, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - 'No longer being alive' can refer to being really depressed and all other kinds of things regularly that aren't the same as being 'dead' (and, as is pointed out above, 'death' is a transition rather than a state, since something that is undergoing death isn't dead yet). CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:57, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. There is short panegyric, "The think I like about Clive/ Is that he's no longer alive/ There's a great deal to be said/ For being dead." Si Trew (talk) 11:53, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
