• Summer (singer) → Summer XO  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Retarget as Summer XO is not the only singer with this name, others include Donna Summer and Summer Watson. There is no single page that lists all of them as disambiguation is split between Summer (surname) and Summer (given name) so I'm not sure what the best target is though. Thryduulf (talk) 20:52, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, as the article says she performed as Summer before 2013. I added a hatnote to respond to the nom's concerns. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 21:43, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per SNSL. While there may be other singers with the name, I don't see evidence of any of them using Summer mononymously as the redirect suggests. With the hatnote now in place to catch other uses, this one looks fine. -- Tavix ^(talk) 22:22, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Summer (disambiguation)#People where those known mononymously as Summer should be listed. I saw that Summer Watson's album is at Summer (Summer Watson album), but PC78's source of the album artwork is a good indication. -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:39, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget per nom, with Summer (disambiguation) as the least worst option. Summer XO seems to be known primarily by that name and the article has a daily average of just 2 page views which makes it unsuitable as a primary redirect. Summer Watson's album was released mononymously so the redirect is clearly ambiguous. PC78 (talk) 22:33, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy keep, no rationale has been given. -- Tavix ^(talk) 19:41, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Tavix: The rationale is: "This is an obvious misspelling (cf. WP:R3) – as opposed to thermostatic expansion valve – without any backlinks."--Hildeoc (talk) 19:49, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a misspelling. Are you referring to the fact that the E is capitalized? Then keep per ((R from other capitalization)). -- Tavix ^(talk) 19:56, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I'm not great at proofreading spelling, but I don't see the purported misspelling. Thermostatic Expansion valve seems to be a widely used term for which Thermal Expansion valve is an alternative name. Both names are noted in the target article. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:53, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep – perfectly plausible redirect for Thermostatic expansion valve, which is where this article should actually be moved to. Bradv🍁 20:39, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Tavix, Barkeep49, and Bradv: Please  Note: As I've tried to make clear, we do already have a redirect "thermostatic expansion valve", where the e- in "expansion" is not capitalized. Thus, there is no reason why we should keep the redirect in question – as I've stated before as well, there aren't any backlinks to this misspelled lemma. So, please make a long story short and delete that redirect.--Hildeoc (talk) 20:54, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Hildeoc: We create redirects for alternative capitalizations all the time, and this one is perfectly reasonable, especially since the topic is frequently abbreviated to TX valve or TE valve. This is in accordance with WP:POFR. Bradv🍁 21:03, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Given that there are bots which will change links to redirects to the redirect target just because there are no links now doesn't mean it hasn't ever been used. Plus redirects are cheap and alternative spellings common. You definitely feel more strongly about this than I do - though I definitely know more about this topic than I used to - and that should count for something, but as far as my weakly held opinion goes this redirect is with-in policy and practice.

• Sweetener → Sugar substitute  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

• Keep per both above and Talk:Sweetener (album)#Requested move 22 August 2018 where there was near unanimous agreement that Sugar substitute is the primary topic for the term "Sweetener". Since then there have been two (I think independent) articles at this title, but both were unsourced duplicates of the sugar substitute article (one was actually a copy and paste of that article by a banned user!).

• Blackwashing → Color-blind casting  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

WP:RFD#DELETE reason #8

This term is not a synonym for Color-blind casting (CBC). CBC has no info about "blackwashing". It appears that "blackwashing" is meant to be a counter to whitewashing, but whitewashing would not be the same as CBC which is when race/ethnicity does not play a factor in casting.

Moreover, there are no RS I can find that support the existence of "blackwashing". Rather all the sources I see are basically saying it doesn't exist and is just a term used to "refute" whitewashing (c.f., "alt-left"). EvergreenFir (talk) 02:30, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as per a similar case, seen here: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Blackwashing_in_film The Verified Cactus 100% 15:51, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete if this exists, and I'm not sure it does, it is some kind of opposite to whitewashing which is not particulary tied to movie making. Legacypac (talk) 18:45, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep It's certainly used by reliable sources (here's a book and here's a 20-year-old Economist piece) but the complication here is that most modern/internet usage seems to be 1. mostly in reference to the film/tv industry; 2. used contra white-washing; and 3. are unreliable or forums, many borderline racist. We don't really have a ton of content like we do for Purplewashing or either of our Pinkwashing articles, so while a tad tenuous, I think the arguments at the AfD hold well enough here, as basically the best we got. I should note that Blackwash redirects to Wisden_Trophy#1984.E2.80.9386_.22Blackwash.22_series, a racist creation from Whitewash (sport), and which is decidedly a noun not a verb. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 10:37, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I looked this term up. Here's what I got: a bunch of gaming forum posts (*eye roll*), this entry in Merriam Webster, a video by NowThis News, an entry on wiktionary:blackwashing, and Urban Dictionary. No WP:RS use the term to my knowledge besides Webster (which includes no reference to color-blind casting; to them it means to color with blackwash or to legally defame someone). –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 14:23, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm certainly not suggesting we have an article on it. A redirect only needs to be useful and get people to content that might help them, say, understand a headline they just read. We've got the material that is relevant for the apparent common usage of this term, so we might as well point to it. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:00, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
