• All of Creation → Axion Estin#Hymns in place of Axion Estin  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

A Google search shows that All of Creation (song) is clearly the primary topic and therefore should be the target. Veverve (talk) 09:33, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget with hatnote to current article. According to target article this is a partial title match of "All of Creation Rejoices in Thee" but it is still a plausible search term for it. --Lenticel ^(talk) 21:27, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. There's already a hatnote placed at current target article which solves any ambiguity. No need to retarget anywhere else; and I'm not sure if the song is notable enough for it to be considered the primary topic. CycloneYoris ^talk! 08:21, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If the discussion here is on the Years after draft promotion part, then yes it helps to keep the edit history right from the first edit, regardless of number of years. Jay (talk) 17:37, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I now get the point about the potential overhead of keeping the draft title in sync with the mainspace title over different moves over the years. It did take some time figuring out the page history of this case, since the mainspace article underwent a move without redirect. I may revise my vote depending on any strong opinions coming in. Jay (talk) 17:48, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The draft that was at this title is the article now at Joint Opposition (Sri Lanka), so if it is kept it should be pointing there due to the "help article authors find their draft" rationale that pops up by the keepers of these redirects. However, the draft was accepted over five years ago and any benefits from this redirect have long since expired. Couple that with the title mismatch which makes it a bit more confusing to keep it around, so it should be deleted. -- Tavix ^(talk) 14:48, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep WP:RDRAFT maybe Retarget to Joint Opposition (Sri Lanka). As something that WOULD HAVE been an ((R from avoided double redirect)) (but obviously dont tag as such since it isnt.) Happy Editing--IAmChaos 02:16, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• I actually think this is a pretty reasonable redirect to exist, since "bear children" is a phrase someone could easily hear, not know, and search Wikipedia for. In which case the question is what the phrase usually refers to. We usually don't call other animals' young children. The article Childbirth is about just birth in humans, for that reason. And I think that's the right logic here, so retarget to Childbirth.

• Keep, or Retarget to Childbirth per Tamzin. I found this RfD from the first paragraph of Dwarfism, a use case which would best lead to Childbirth or the current target, either of which is perfectly reasonable. I think it is incorrect to say that other species "bear children", so a more general redirect is unnecessary and would likely break many existing wikilinks. Redirecting to Bear is ridiculous, bordering on humorous, as I have never, ever, heard someone using the phrase in that sense; bears have cubs, not children. Hence, I support the current target, Human reproduction, or Tamzin's suggestion, Childbirth, but I oppose deletion and the other suggested retargets.

• Keep. While the origin of the term may refer to "bearing down" during childbirth, in common use the term is used more broadly to refer to the entire process of pregnancy and childbirth, so the current target seems more appropriate. For that matter, Child bearing currently redirects to Pregnancy. However, I'm not strongly opposed to a retarget to childbirth. A hatnote to Bear cub can be used for anyone searching for that.

The result of the discussion was keep, also move Fool's Day. The main question here became whether the song is the primary topic for "Fool's Day". Based on three explicit !votes to move Fool's Day to Fool's Day (song) and two other comments (CycloneYoris' and Mx. Granger's) getting at that, I find consensus to move it. With that eliminating the logic for retargeting to the song, there is a clear preference for keeping over the remaining option, retargeting to the DAB.

There was little explicit discussion of what to do with the Fool's Day title after moving the song; I've taken the most straightforward approach of retargeting to match the three listed redirects, but Jay or anyone else is welcome to start an RM if they think that Fool's Day (disambiguation) should be moved to that title. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 08:37, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Fool's Day, or delete altogether: Whereas it only takes moving the apostrophe to go from "Fools' Day" to the song, the April Fools' Day page does not state that the day is simply known as "Fools' Day".

• Leaning towards retarget to the DAB page Fool's Day (disambiguation) since these seem like reasonable search terms for April Fools Day but also reasonable slight mis-spellings of the songs.

• Retarget to Fool's Day. I don't think an apostrophe should make the difference in this case, especially since the article is about a song (typically listened to, so readers searching for it may not be sure what the punctuation should be). In response to CycloneYoris's point, if the song is too obscure to be the primary topic, then it should be moved to Fool's Day (Blur song); in that case, all of these redirects and Fool's Day can target either the disambiguation page or April Fools' Day. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 10:46, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. April Fools' Day (April Fool's Day) of course can be simply called "Fools' Day" or its variants. It's so apparent that it does not need to be stated in article April Fools' Day. A proof is that even Fool's Day (Blur's 2010 song), which the nominator proposes retargeting these redirect pages to, is actually talking about April Fools' Day (see its lyrics: "...On the first day of April..."). --Neo-Jay (talk) 22:47, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Would it be a malplaced dab if we were to have Fools' Day -> Fool's Day (disambiguation), notwithstanding the small detail of the apostrophe? In this case, should we consider moving Fool's Day (disambiguation) to Fools' Day? NotReallySoroka (talk) 03:42, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it would be malplaced (since Fool's Day currently has a primary topic), but it's an open question what title a dab page should have when multiple ambiguous terms are disambiguated there (combined dab page) per WP:DABNAME. Mdewman6 (talk) 00:54, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and I also support moving Fool's Day to Fool's Day (song). The song is a clear reference to the day. The day clearly can be (and is) called "Fool's Day" sometimes, regardless of whether this is expressly mentioned in the article... [1] This google nGram shows that "Fool's day" is used at the start of a sentence without saying "April", but searching for "fool's day -april" [2] returns 0 results, showing that these references to a "Fool's day" are in fact referring to the one in April. Despite the existence of the disambiguation page, this is an unambiguous redirect with a primary topic. If they were actually looking for the song, they can easily find the disambiguation page once they reach the page for the day. Fieari (talk) 04:32, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep all as they imply the April Fools day. Move Fool's Day to Fool's Day (song) to make way for the moving of Fool's Day (disambiguation). The new Fool's Day dab will have April Fools' Day as primary topic, even though the apostrophes don't match. Jay (talk) 06:37, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Decolonization. There is a clear consensus that these redirects should point to somewhere directly about anti-colonialism efforts, and Decolonization seems to emerge as the most relevant target. No prejudice against creating an Anti-colonialism article later, though. (non-admin closure) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 20:37, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A few searches doesn't suggest to me that there is a significant differance in meaning between these two capitalisations, so I think they should be syncronised to point at the same place.
