Retarget both to
Mario (franchise). There's many different Mario series: Super Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario & Luigi, Paper Mario, and more. While Super Mario may be the most well known, I'd consider the term "Mario series" to refer to the superset of all these different series. Therefore, I think the franchise article would be the best target for these. --

Retain. The "Mario series" refers to the main series featuring Mario, not the entire franchise. This main series is known as Super Mario. I think the separate notability of a "Super Mario" series apart from the rest of the franchise is dubious based on the current sourcing, but as it stands, I think the current redirect is appropriate. I've written several articles across the franchise, and it would be inappropriate to change the target of those links based on what readers expect on the other side. Editors who want to link to the entire Mario franchise already know to link to it specifically. czar 19:10, 19 January 2017 (UTC)reply

Should this be retargeted to
The Little Mermaid (franchise)? I would imagine that readers looking up a "(series)" disambiguator are trying to find information for the franchise and not the TV series. Compare this to Mario (series) (redirects to its respective series article) and
Mario (franchise); since The Little Mermaid doesn't have separate series and franchise articles, the "series" is probably the "franchise".

Retarget given the Disney franchise has multiple series: the TV series, the films sort of, but there's also a bunch of book series under the printed adaptations section. Reconsider to dab page if other series become more prominent.

The Darling (novel), as it seems to be the alternative title as published in France and other countries, and is a key phrase at the end of the novel

If it makes it to direct-to-video or television movie status then reconsider redirecting to section. Other searches lead to American-Darling brand of fire hydrants or valves, some random paintings and blogs. Note "America's Darling" would have its own dab issues.

Wikipedia was a very different place a dozen years ago, so I don't want to disparage the work of the editor who put all of these together, but in hindsight, we can call firmly
WP:NOT on this. The pages were essentially annotations to each chapter, including characters named and real-life entities referred to. The article on the novel mentions several chapters by name, but none with the depth of coverage implied by these redirects. Page views confirm they're quite unlikely as search terms too. --

Thryduulf: I don't think they are. The AfD comment you refer to was posted 17 March 2005. I checked the
target article's history as of that month, which shows versions going back to September 2004, and there's no mention of merging in edit summaries. The creator of these redirects made several edits in early March 2005. Is any one of them a merge, as opposed to an interested editor working on several related pages? That seems a matter of semantics. Certainly the pages I've nominated were all his work, and the history of the target article retains his contributions in its history. --

(Eubot) Weak delete. I would have thought this spelling was quite common, but actually a Gsearch gives me pretty much 0 results for this being used in any sources to mean this (in fact, the first source I get has it meaning something completely different), and it's had only three hits in ninety days. Yet unlike

Per the history of the redirect, it seems that this term was meant to refer to the ninja characters in the Mortal Kombat series such as Sub-Zero, Scorpion and Smoke. However, I'm not finding a specific article or a section in an article which this term would be helpful targeting, especially considering that the redirect is already a borderline
WP:NOTWIKIA violation. The best target I can find is
List of Mortal Kombat characters, but not even that page has a good section to refine this term.

Even if it went to the characters article, it doesn't explain which of the characters are ninjas, especially if they're looking for the more prominent ninja characters like Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Kitana, Mileena, who immediately have their own article. Although I suppose once the user gets there, they can look through the entire list to further search for the ninja they want. I'll strike it for having some sort of use.

Steel1943 (

Keep. I would have assumed that this is an unlikely spelling error, but it got 58 page views last year - rather larger than many clearly plausible spelling errors, so I checked on google and it gets a lot of hits. Some of the hits are likely typos, but others seem deliberate so I'm wondering if there is some reason I don't understand for this. I say to keep pointing to the disambig page as there are many uses where it doesn't seem tied to one version of the game.

Keep. This is an {{R from merge}}. If the nominator feels that the content at this title should be deleted, then the template should probably be restored and then nominated for either
WP:T3 speedy deletion or
WP:TFD.

The idea behind deleting the old template is post-merge clean-up. As discussed at
Template talk:Video game release#Merge Effort, we considered the deletion of it to be logical, as it is to no longer be confused with the merged Video game release template, so restoring the page would not be very logical. All occurences of this template have been remove by me on over 2,000 pages, wherefore it can now safely be deleted.

This discussion should probably happen at
WP:TFD, not here. More or less, RFD is for accessing its value as a redirect, and I see that it has value due to its edit history ({{R from merge}}) and that the edit history may need to be retained due to
WP:CWW. If the template is really of no use anymore and
WP:TFD is not an option, consider restoring the template and marking it with {{Historical template}}.

Keep. The nominated redirect formerly targeted Template:Video game release new, which now redirects to the same target as the nominated redirect. Makes sense to keep this redirect in place in the meantime. (However, if somehow before this discussion ends, if Template:Video game release new is restored as a template, I'd say retarget the nominated redirect there.)

Delete. I find it hard to believe anyone would look up that particular title, just to be redirected. Also, "in the series" wouldn't allow for a character that was only playable once, because they did appear playable.

Well,
your instinct is probably correct, because that's not how the page got started. It started as an actual list, with content that someone boldly decided was unwanted. See
the old version. Has anyone thoroughly checked that old content to make sure that we don't need to keep it for licensing reasons? If even a sentence got copied to another article – even if it's not in the most recent revision of the article – then we probably need to keep this for licensing (aka "legal") reasons.

Keep the redirect for '
Sarkoezi (surname)'. If someone has no idea how to spell "Sarkozy", then typing in "Sarkoezi" appears to me plausible enough in terms of phonetics. An Anglosphere reader who knows little about European languages would be taking the "oe" from a word like "Oboe" and the "zi" from a word like "Nazi". I'm not sure about these redirects in total, though.

Weak delete. I fully expected this to be the result of a move after creating the proper page with a typo, but there have been no moves involved here and it post-dates the correctly spelled version. I've left a note on the creator's talk page (which the nominator should have done), but absent any explanation for why this exists I don't see a use for it.

Possible retarget to

Retarget to
Niyoga per nom and tag with either {{R from alternative spelling}} or {{R from alternative transliteration}}. In Sanskrit words, final short a (but not long ā) is generally dropped in most languages of northern India. As for the coconut, this appears to be a foreign name in some language of Philippines, but it's not mentioned at
Coconut, while the possibly related niniyogan (which is mentioned there) and niyog-niyogan (mentioned at
Combretum indicum) are too distinct to warrant linking from a hatnote. –

Disambiguate after Lenticel's additions to
Coconut. Although I still the think the Hindu ritual is vaguely more likely as a primary topic, I don't think a hatnote pointing to Coconut could be worded in a way that is sensible. I've drafted a dab page below the redirect, which also includes two "see also" entries. –

The result of the discussion was complicated. There's clear consensus to retargetRaspberry pie to
Raspberry Pi (with a hatnote) and Peach pie to
list of pies, tarts and flans (I'll add an {{anchor}} to the list so it'll redirect directly to the correct entry). I find
WP:ROUGHCONSENSUS to deleteChocolate crust. A retargeting proposal to the list of pies was thoroughly objected to as a chocolate crust can be used for other types of desserts and a late suggestion to
crust (baking) didn't receive any favor from anyone else. That leaves deletion, which was explicitly argued by two participants, and perhaps implied by another. That being said, I'll allow recreation of the redirect if the term can be discussed somewhere in a general sense. --

Not mentioned in target, except

Raspberry pie should definitely point to
Raspberry Pi somehow, either as in the current situation, or a redirect to
Raspberry Pi, or a DAB page. I think the latter is perhaps the best.

I concur with the proposals for
Raspberry pie (but please leave a hatnote to the list of pies) and
Peach pie, but I'm not sure I see the point of redirecting
chocolate crust to that list. Sure, there's one type of pie mentioned there that has a chocolate crust, but aren't chocolate crusts found on top of all kinds of other desserts as well? — Preceding

Re-target
chocolate crust to
Crust (baking). There are two kinds; one is a
graham cracker crust made with chocolate cookies, and the other is a pie crust made with cocoa. Re-targeting to
pie crust saves you the trouble of figuring out which one the reader means. Otherwise, I'd send both fruit pies to the
List of pies, and add a hatnote to that list about the computers.

Leadership elections for the Conservative Party in the UK do not happen to any schedule, and sometimes occur on very little notice. The 2016 election has been and gone, there are no others planned and I am not aware of any encyclopaedic content currently speculating on a next election to retarget it to. There is no content about leadership elections generally at
Conservative Party (UK) or
Leader of the Conservative Party (UK) - it might be possible to write something at one or the other, but given that I have strong views about UK politics I am not comfortable with writing significant content in this subject area for NPOV and COI reasons. So unless someone else writes such content, my recommendation is delete.
Thryduulf (

The result of the discussion was Retarget to
Talk:James Mattis and
Talk:Queen Elizabeth, respectively. Adding {{Old RfD}} tags to these pages would be confusing since thise templates are meant to represent a talk page's parent page, so syncing the talk pages with their parent pages' current target. However, I'm also closing this with the following statement, in case it needs to be said: If there is consensus to change the targets of Mad Dog Matis or Queen Liz in the future, there should be no controversy with syncing the two redirects nominated here by retargeting them to their parent page's new target. Also, it seems that
Paine Ellsworth already
synced Talk:Mad Dog Matis. (
