Speedy deletion was declined with "Just an ordinary talk redirect" for the reason. However, Moody’s Analytics Knowledge Service does not exist, so G8 was supposed to apply.

I believe that these redirects should be deleted because the title formats are incorrect, and they currently have no internal and external links. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 20:11, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can create a redirect for Power Pros/Power Pro Pocket with the Japanese titles without the word series un-bracketed.

The result of the discussion was disambiguate Autonomous learning and retarget Autonomous Learning there. Thryduulf (talk) 12:42, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure. The section does exist and discusses it, but I'm not sure that "Autonomous learning" is specific to the home education of children, so there may be a better target (I couldn't find one. Montessori education sprang to mind, but does not use the term: a quick search shows that it does seem to be used mostly for home education, and not just generally for continuing education or what have you. We do have an article on Learner autonomy but these autonomies are not synonymies, it seems to me (learner autonomy is largely concerned with learning foreign languages). Catting both as ((R to section)) for now. Si Trew (talk) 19:58, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to the Johnson list. Regardless of whether the person actively went by "M. Johnson" in life, names frequently get abbreviated like this (I spent most of the last couple working days identifying publishers in our library catalogue, and tons of publisher names get abbreviated this way (e.g. J.

• Comment found a Michael William Sharp who is a painter, and Mike Sharp (Michael R. Sharp) redirects to a president of First Guaranty Bank. Michael Sharp in Debenhams was a former CEO.

A great example of why age alone isn't a good reason to keep a redirect. This one has been around for over 13 years! But it was created as a fork of the main article and redirected there within hours. It's harmful because we have no "brief profile" of Professor X, so any reader coming across that long article may be mislead by this suggestion otherwise.

Most such nominations are basically "here's an unusual redirect, we delete these all the time, see this RFD from last week", with no attempt to consider that really old redirects should be kept unless they're actively problematic. Instead, BDD gives a solid argument, acknowledging the age issue and showing why this redirect really is harmful, despite the age. I agree that this redirect will confuse the average person who encounters it, and as there's nowhere to retarget it, deletion is the best choice, unfortunately.
