• Keep per the same rationale I posted at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 November 15#File:Kulavadhu-film-poster.jpg ... minus the WP:TROUT-ing: "...The redirect is not causing any harm, considering that name requirements for redirects in the “File:” namespace do not necessary have to be useful search terms, especially if the redirect is a ((R from move)). In addition, the redirect does not shadow the title of a page on Wikimedia Commons, meaning that it’s not causing any technical issues that need to be resolved by deleting the redirect per ((Db-redircom))." Steel1943 (talk) 21:11, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Steel1943. There is a very high bar for deletion of ((R from move)) redirects in the file namespace. If the file name is not shaddowing Commons and is not a BLP violation or similar then it is almost certainly not going to pass that bar. This is not an exception.

• Americo → Classical compound#Binational forms  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The target, “classical compound,” probably is more apropos to “Americo-” (with a hyphen) than “Americo” by itself. In my case, I was looking for the insurance company, Americo Financial Life and Annuity Insurance Company which, it turns out, has no Wikipedia article (as it might not be notable enough for one). Bwrs (talk) 23:08, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - this isn't a binational compound but part of one. Part of a very large number of possible compounds, actually. This WP:DICDEF is not useful. It might be useful as a redirect to an article about the insurance company if we had one, but we do not. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 23:34, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment from requester: I could just change it to a disambiguation page. Bwrs (talk) 23:40, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What would you disambiguate? It's not really ambiguous, it's a partial title match. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 23:42, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are a number of people with the first name Américo, and I also was hoping that somebody would write an article on the insurance company. (A cursory search did not establish notability, however.) Bwrs (talk) 01:52, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, wow! Good idea to do that search. Since we have an article Américo, it would probably be best for this to be a ((R without diacritics)) redirect to that title. But separately, an "Americo" anthroponymy page would be quite useful. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 02:06, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguate per BDD rather than redirect to just one person with that name. Bwrs (talk) 17:22, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Wikipedia:SU → Wikipedia:Sheynhertz-Unbayg cleanup  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Though this redirect has represented the target since September 2006, the task representing this redirect seemed to end about a year later. Given that this is a two-letter shortcut, it would probably be best converted to a disambiguation page (((Wikipedia disambiguation))) using the potential targets in the hatnote at the top of Wikipedia:Sheynhertz-Unbayg cleanup as a baseline. The incoming links can be disambiguated if this redirect is converted to a disambiguation page. (I normally don't advocate for retargeting long-standing redirects in the "Wikipedia:" namespace, but since this is a two-letter shortcut that represented a super short-lived project, this may be one of my few exceptions.) Steel1943 (talk) 20:02, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. While it's not the greatest use of this two-character shortcut, disambiguation would not achieve anything that the current hatnotes don't, but would require changing hundreds of links in long closed archives causing disruption for no benefit. None of the links I spot checked were for anything other than the current target. Thryduulf (talk) 14:39, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• OmniTech Support → Comparison of remote desktop software  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Not mentioned in target, originally created with the justification OmniTech support is remote desktop software. I think this is a promotional redirect and that it should be deleted. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:34, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Heh, I created the redirect, it's kind of the opposite of promotion, I saw reports in the wild it was used to maliciously take over users computers, but the previous article was taken down. I posted on the talk page for the redirect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:OmniTech_Support , but basically before I created my recent redirect, the old redirect was taken down in 2014 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2014_October_15#OmniTech_Support because it used to go straight to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_support_scam , and the discussion highlighted how that can be considered libel (makes sense). But better than a deletion would have been a neutral redirect to its proper category, remote desktop software. Mathiastck (talk) 00:59, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I understand the creator's rationale, but this is unhelpful and misleading when the software isn't included in that list. Readers already familiar with OmniTech will learn nothing, and those who aren't will probably be confused. Perhaps they'll be able to infer "OmniTech Support is a type of remote desktop software", but that's not much to go on. --BDD (talk) 20:34, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, that was intended for the section on "Founder's seat" below. I think I see how that happened.

• Adhurs Raghu → Raghu Karumanchi  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This title is a combination of the actor's name and their breakout film, Adhurs. This would already be a stretch for a redirect, but Karumanchi isn't even the only person named Raghu that was in the movie. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:53, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Raghu Babu didn't rise to fame from this movie, but Raghu Karumanchi did. For this reason, he is popularly known as Adhurs Raghu, which is his stage name. Since there isn't a source, a redirect isn't needed.--DragoMynaa (Talk) 19:35, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DragoMynaa, can you provide a source for this? It isn't mentioned at all in Raghu Karumanchi _signed, Rosguill ^talk 18:37, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That establishes that he had an important role in Adhurs, which we already knew. It doesn't establish that "Adhurs Raghu" is a commonly used nickname. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 18:47, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Exophthalmus vittatus → Exophthalmus  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect was created in a page move, which was a correct move since the article is about the genus and not the species. However the redirect should be deleted per reason 10 of WP:RFD#DELETE. As can be seen on the genus article Exophthalmus, the article contains no specific information about this species. All other species have red links, to have their own article in the future. Reason 7 of WP:RFD#KEEP does not apply. Being a redirect and a blue link in the list of species makes it less likely that an article is created, not more likely. Taketa (talk) 08:12, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Per the reasoning of User:Taketa. Looking for a precedent, I checked the entries in Category:Taxa named by Carl Linnaeus. This list does not include any blue links for species names that are merely redirects to the corresponding genus. EdJohnston (talk) 15:16, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Paging User:Plantdrew. In theory, redirecting a species to its genus is defensible as an ((R from subtopic)), but in practice, it's normal to have primarily red species lists in genus articles. --BDD (talk) 15:49, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Better to have a red link. The only cases where it is normal practice to have a species redirect to a genus is when: a) there is only one species in the genus; b) the genus is known only from fossils; c) rarely, when a genus has a small number of species (2-3) which are discussed in detail in a single article (gastric-brooding frog is the only example of this that comes to mind).

When there are species redirecting to genera (aside from the above cases), I tag them with ((R from species to genus)) (which is a redirect to ((R from subtopic))), and the most appropriate of ((R taxon with possibilities)) / ((R animal with possibilities)) / ((R plant with possibilities)). I'd be perfectly happy to see all such species to genus redirects deleted. Plantdrew (talk) 16:49, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• List of accolades received by The Master → The Master (2012 film)#Accolades  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Confusing and no suitable alternate target. There are many artistic works titled "The Master" so having this point to any one of them means that readers looking for other items will have a harder time finding their article. It can't be retargeted to The Master because that redirects to the disambiguation page at Master. Wug·a·po·des​ 05:54, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Re-name - I meant to create that to re-direct to the accolades specifically for the 2012 film's Wikipedia page, so if need be, please move the page to List of accolades received by The Master (2012 film) and remove the List of accolades received by The Master re-direct. There are several accolades pages that don't specify the year of the film, like the ones for Room and Up, so I didn't think it would be that much of an issue, my bad.
