Linux file system does not exist and could possibly be ambiguous. We have Linux file systems ->
File system which is fine as the plural almost universally refers to it in that context, but the singular form could refer to either
file system or
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. From my memory it is not ambiguous in a text because the context is usually obvious, but this redirect may be if a reader who in unfamiliar with the topic looks it up. - CHAMPION(

Retarget to
File system#LINUX per nom as with
Linux file systems. Jumping to Filesystem Hierarchy Standard may be a surprise unless the redirect was Linux FHS. Add redirects here and hatnote to Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.

ext4 isn't a valid target, the general article on file systems is the best option for this semi-vague term.

The
article that was at this location for an hour and a half in 2015 was about a regulation that prohibits medicinal marijuana users in the U.S. from owning firearms. That regulation and related legal issues could potentially be a notable topic in their own right, but that would also be an argument for deletion per the tenth point of

Linda Wong (singer) is also an actress, and unlike the pornographic actress, is a living person. The redirect should therefore be retargeted there, or otherwise to
Linda Wong, the dab page.

Retarget to
Linda Wong per Thryduulf. Retargeting directly to the singer doesn't seem like a good idea since there were some internal links (which I've fixed, but their existence likely implies also some external links which we can't fix) pointing to this lemma trying to find the pornographic actress. The person linked from The Nun and the Sergeant is apparently a third actress also.

Not sure that this is a real concept - redirect arises from an article which had one unsourced sentence and a gallery of passport images, tagged as "unsourced, OR, fiction", then just "unsourced", then redirected to the article about the passports.

Leaning deleteCitizenship of the European Union exists because an actual treaty among EU members (the
Maastricht Treaty) defined the concept. There is no parallel among CARICOM treaties. There are three use cases of the phrase "CARICOM citizenship" out there (no one uses the phrase "citizenship of the Caribbean Community"):
An aspirational proposal for a form of
honorary citizenship in 1987
[2], that apparently never went anywhere
A careless & legally meaningless turn of phrase by the promoters who refer clients to
citizenship-by-investment (CIP) programs
[3]
A proposal to give some new CARICOM body a mandate to regulate member states' citizenship matters, because of problems with CIP programs
[4]
There really do not seem to be enough sources about this concept (rather than just using the phrase without defining it) to even give it a section in
Caribbean Community, since nearly anything you could say (including everything I've said above) is
WP:OR.

Keep. per the IP as "calms" isn't a good search term for "calmness" but it absolutely is for the ITCZ. There is a frequently used acronym in the field of
DevOps but we don't have any content about it that I can find and I'm not immediately convinced of its notability or encyclopaedic relevance anyway.
Thryduulf (

Send to disambiguation at
Calm or keep. On its own, "calms" may be a plural noun or a singular verb, making it possible that the reader could be looking for
calmness or something else on the existing disambiguation page. I agree though that one is more likely to search for a noun than a verb, so I can see why
Intertropical Convergence Zone is a tad more plausible and I won't oppose keeping.

I was about to !vote "keep" on account of the fact that among the entries on the dab page only the current target can be referred to as "calms" (the plural can be used figuratively for a variety of situations, but none of them seem to overlap with
Calmness, which is about the mental state). But then I looked up the term in a dictionary (OED), and it turns out that "calm" can also be a countable noun referring to: 1)
cames of a window pane; 2)
heddles of a loom; 3) a mould for casting metal objects (and the source of the expression "in the calms" meaning "in a state of contstruction"). I've added the first two to the dab page
Calm (but not the the third one as it appears to be obsolete). However, I don't think we should be retargeting there: only three of the two dozen entries are relevant, so if "disambiguation" is preferred, then it had better be done with a separate page. I don't know if I would go for disambiguating though: the current target is the primary topic for the plural term and readers looking for any of the other two are most likely to type the singular after all. –

Keep: I think this redirect makes sense since the Indigo article describes it as "the color between violet and blue", and it certainly gives more information about the color than the Crayola page. Also I'd like to note that
Violet-blue and
Blue-violet also redirects to Indigo, so regardless of how this discussion turns out, all three pages should redirect to the same page for consistency. -Sonicwave(

Keep. A reader searching for the name of a colour shouldn't be presumed to want to read about a crayon. "Blue-violet" is discussed at
Indigo, which makes it a salient redirect target for "violet-blue (color)". (Agree with Arms & Hearts that "Violet-blue" shouldn't point to a section that doesn't exist) ›

removed a few days later by
Hariboneagle927, who noted that "Oplan Tokhang and Oplan Double Barrel (along with the anti-drugs campaign in prisons by another name) is just part of the larger campaign against drugs". There are lots of sources discussing both names in reference to the target, so we ought to be able to find a way to define both in the article. –

Keep As noted above, they are designed to make {{Living Prime Ministers of Australia}} work, a template currently under development by
LR.2002. They are in most ways comparable to the similar redirects which support {{Living presidents of the United States}} and {{Living vice presidents of the United States}} which I created some months ago. The only significant differences are that the US template links to inauguration articles which are in all cases but one stand-alone articles. I reckon about 8-10 of the US death-of are either stand-alone articles or redirects to stand-alone articles, the rest are section links. Very few, if any, of the Aussie PMs have stand-alone articles for either their swearing-in or for their inauguration; the only one I'm certain exists is concerns the
disappearance of Harold Holt. Without these redirects, the template would have to be restructured somewhat, which is possible, but I think it would be best to keep the templates as comparable as possible. It would be good to transform the redirects into section link redirects, but that can wait until LR.2002 has completed the heavy lifting.
YBG (

Comment that makes some sense. I'm not sure that the vice-presidential lists at
Living presidents and vice presidents of the United States are necessary either (the US president ones probably are; most of the inaugurations/deaths are stand-alone articles, and there's lots of talk in the US press about living presidents at any given time). I'd recommend piping a link to the person instead of creating the redirects. That said, these are the types of "mostly harmless" redirects that shouldn't be deleted once they're around long enough and if there's support for having these pages, there's not much harm in a standard format between countries.
