• Prostitution in Ghana → Prostitution in Africa#Ghana  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Prostitution in Ghana should either be retargeted into Sex trade in Ghana or be retitled Prostitution in Ghana as it is about the same subject the sex industry in Ghana. Dwanyewest ( talk) 17:43, 12 March 2017 (UTC) reply

I really intended this article Sex trade in Ghana to be about prostitution and thought sex trade is a good a descriptor and then realized that Prostitution in Ghana would be a more appropriate title. Dwanyewest ( talk) 15:22, 13 March 2017 (UTC) reply

As with the other RFD article, this should be closed and resubmitted as an RM. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 05:30, 16 March 2017 (UTC) reply

• Note I've added Why is the sky blue (without the question mark) to this nomination as they should be considered together. I've also adjusted the nomination to make it clear both redirects target the colour section of the target article. Thryduulf ( talk) 12:37, 12 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• strong keep both. These are well-used redirects (180 hits between them last month, over 87,000 last year) that take people to the content they are looking for. WP:NOTFAQ is a policy about article content (made even clearer by being in the "Encyclopaedic content" section of the policy page), which the target article is in full compliance with, not about article titles or redirects. Redirects are intended to help people find the encyclopaedic content they are looking for, even if they do so using a non-encyclopaedic search term. Deleting these would hinder people's ability to find the article without bringing any benefits at all. Thryduulf ( talk) 12:37, 12 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• Weak Keep due to these being the result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Why is the sky blue?. WP:NOTFAQ de facto applies to redirects; there was consensus against Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not/Archive 48#RfC: Should we add a footnote to WP:NOTHOWTO/WP:NOTFAQ stating that it does not apply to redirects?, a proposal to clarify that it does not apply to redirects, and there is a lot of precedent for deleting redirects based on NOTFAQ (e.g. many of the discussions at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 August 7). However, sometimes these are deemed useful through discussion, and kept. —  Godsy ^{( TALK} _CONT) 16:54, 12 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• keep agreeing with the rationales put forward by Thryduulf and Godsy. Additionally, the algorithms that get people from search terms to results will do particularly well with this exactly-worded exceptionally popular question. If we want to make an article for the question because it's popular in its own right and have it link to the answer plus expound on the question, that would be fine, but our 2015 AFD didn't arrive at that conclusion. -- ke4roh ( talk) 22:16, 12 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep - Thryduulf has it exactly right. They're unconventional redirects, to be sure, but also demonstrably useful. No reason to make things more difficult for our readers. – Juliancolton |  ^Talk 02:53, 13 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• Comment the Sky blue article has a hatnote to Rayleigh scattering for "Why is the sky blue?". AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 17:00, 13 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep per general history of keeping FAQ redirects when the target answers the frequently-asked question, as this one does. Rayleigh scattering likewise has a #Cause of the blue color of the sky section which links this target as a main article. Both articles answer the question (one in the lede, one in the first paragraph following the lede) so there's no strong reason to change from one to the other.

• Comment he's a founder and also worked on the RuneScape video game with the notable Gower. Business articles also show Andrew and Paul as the primary developers on RuneScape. Is that enough to hang his redirect to this company? AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 03:05, 16 March 2017 (UTC) reply

• Weak keep as the current target seems to have the most relevant content in comparison with the other articles where he's mentioned. He's mentioned at RuneScape, but his involvement with it is already covered at the current target. Andrew Gower has a sentence or two near the beginning mentioning Paul and linking to the other two articles, and as this is the article that comes up first in the search results, deleting wouldn't be particularly harmful. – Uanfala (talk) 21:36, 29 March 2017 (UTC) reply
