• Delete. This isn't Neon Genesis Evangelion. Dominicmgm ( talk) 02:08, 11 April 2021 (UTC) reply
• Delete: The extraneous dot makes the redirect unlikely to be useful. DKC TV cartoon, however, would be reasonable. ~ Aseleste ( t, e | c, l) 11:16, 11 April 2021 (UTC) reply
• Delete The period is not something someone would type looking this up. Also, if someone decides to create DKC TV cartoon the target should be Donkey Kong Country (TV series).-- 67.70.101.238 ( talk) 02:47, 12 April 2021 (UTC) reply

No mention of "liberation" at the target, delete unless a justification can be provided. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:06, 10 April 2021 (UTC) reply

• Delete; yes, "liberation" is not mentioned in the target: I wish creators of links like this would provide some justification for the link in their initial edit summary creating the link. --- Avatar317 ^(talk) 00:15, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Delete very unlikely typo. Properly spelled List of Dragon Ball Z episodes (season 9) exists. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 16:20, 10 April 2021 (UTC) reply

• Delete looking at the history of the target page this was a typo introduced in an attempt to reverted an undiscussed page move in 2010 which was fixed about a minute later.-- 67.70.101.238 ( talk) 02:56, 12 April 2021 (UTC) reply

• Oppose for DONAL HENAHAN only. Donal Henahan's name is usually capitalized in print in The New York Times over his many decades as a writer; and many readers may copy paste his name into a search on wikipedia. 4meter4 ( talk) 20:16, 10 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Wikipedia's search does not require a capitalization match, and we don't have similar redirects for other Times writers (e.g. R. W. APPLE JR.), as doing so would certainly be WP:COSTLY. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 20:25, 10 April 2021 (UTC) reply

    That's an essay, and one that I don't think applies here. Maybe try applying WP:COMMON. Also, WP:OTHERSTUFF arguments aren't helpful. 4meter4 ( talk) 21:33, 10 April 2021 (UTC) reply

• Keep. I agree with 4meter4 that if a name is used in all caps, that it would be plausible to copy-paste it to Wikipedia in all caps. I think WP:RCAPS actually supports this interpretation, namely When there is a connection between the subject and an alternative capitalization, it is usually kept. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 00:55, 12 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Except that even if the all caps is copy-pasted, we no longer need a redirect in order for the searchbox to function. Try it! UnitedStatesian ( talk) 20:27, 12 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • The search function isn't the only way of finding a redirect – many people use the URL bar to search (which is case-sensitive) for one. —  J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 21:24, 12 April 2021 (UTC) reply
• Comment I’ve set up heaps of redirects in the format SURNAME, given name as that was the default for the FISA (World Rowing) database. Generally for Eastern European names where the English article name is different. Schwede 66 19:32, 16 April 2021 (UTC) reply

• Edens Zero → EDENS ZERO  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

The target page's title violates MOS:ALLCAPS guidelines and was created without discussion. This stylized capitalization is only used once within the article proper, while its regular spelling is used throughout the article and all links to the page.

• Taper ratio → Chord (aeronautics)  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

The quantity is mentioned only in passing in the target, and is also mentioned in a totally different context in Space elevator. The original article was an unsourced, 2-sentence stub that fails WP:DICDEF and lacked context. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 16:23, 2 April 2021 (UTC) reply

• Refine the target to Chord (aeronautics)#Tapered wing and put a section hatnote there to Space elevator#Cable materials. I did first spend a happy few minutes determining that Space elevator isn't an April Fool's joke. Shhhnotsoloud ( talk) 15:59, 3 April 2021 (UTC) reply

This term does not appear anywhere in the article, much less with a reliable source, so there is no context to its relationship to Shias and Sunnis. ... discospinster _talk 16:25, 2 April 2021 (UTC) reply

• This was an article until it was redirected last year as a result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nasibi. - Eureka Lott 16:52, 2 April 2021 (UTC) reply

• Delete per nom due due to a lack of mention. I just read through the AfD, and I'm not sure I understand Eggishorn's !vote, which is how we ended up here in the first place. The entire !vote reads like one for deletion, yet they want it redirected despite there being no content worth preserving through a merge.

The redirect target, a compilation album that one of this band's songs appears on, has now itself been redirected as non-notable. The band is not mentioned anywhere else on Wikipedia as far as I can tell, so these redirects should be deleted. Lennart97 ( talk) 00:32, 10 April 2021 (UTC) reply
