The result of the discussion was speedy delete. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 02:38, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Draft:Quebec language → Quebec  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Seems a rather pointless (cross namespace) redirect, aimed at an incorrect target to boot (should be Quebec French) Kleuske (talk) 22:36, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. There should be a criterion for speedy deletion for cross-namespace redirects created in the "Draft:" namespace with no history other than being a redirect. They serve no purpose. Steel1943 (talk) 23:06, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• If it weren't for this particular IP's history, I'd say it's a GF attempt that should be targeted to WP:AFC/R ~ Amory (u • t • c) 02:45, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per above. Also all the other cross namespace redirects listed at Special:Contributions/42.62.237.213 Geraldo Perez (talk) 02:24, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• List of multiplayer gametypes in Halo 2 → Halo 2  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The article does not contain a list of gametypes. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:50, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• 1990 College football → 1990 college football season  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Sets a bad precedent of "(year) College football" redirects, and it's also vague. What about association football clubs in college? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:13, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Halo (weapons)Halo (weapons) → Halo (megastructure)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Can be confused with Mil Mi-26, a real life weapon (or at least weapon transport) with the reporting name Halo. Best deleted to avoid confusion. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 21:22, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment It depends if you consider helicopters weapons or just vehicles that are outfitted with weapons. The Halo ring definitely has coverage in news articles as a superweapon though. [1] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:07, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - I would think that this redirect would go to a page that mentions the various firearms, bombs, space weapon systems, and whatnot associated with the Halo series generally. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 22:25, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This template was recently deleted, and nothing uses it, so a redirect is pointless. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 14:04, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Question: Do these nominations (not your's, everyone's) ever have a basis in policy and practice that is just unmentioned, or are they all arbitrary? Hyacinth (talk) 21:15, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• State Investment Company → China Investment Corporation  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete. Not mentioned at target article, and there are other entities by this name, e.g. the one that came in 1916 to questionably legally control most of the land in and around Mora, New Mexico – kind of a followup to the Maxwell Land Grant shenanigans. (That State Investment Co. is probably notable, though someone with a lot of ready access to NM historical material on "dead trees", e.g. at the UNM Library, will need to write it.)  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  06:12, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - We do have an article that's about state corporations generally in 'state-owned enterprise'. Maybe it just needs a bit more information added to provide the proper context, and we can retarget over there? CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 23:03, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nominator and WP:DIFFCAPS. I don't think someone typing (or linking) State Investment Company in all caps wants the general concept of a state-owned enterprise; they're looking for proper nouns, and search results seem to be the best we can do for that at the moment. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 12:35, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Printer (publishing). -- Tavix ^(talk) 04:21, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Printing plantPrinting plant → Printing plant of "Ogonyok" magazine  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Redirects to a specific building, which is unexpected for a generic term. -- RoySmith (talk) 03:03, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to printer (publishing)? "Plant" isn't mentioned there, but it should be reasonably clear to the reader who ends up there that it's a {{r from alternative name}}. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 03:17, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to printer (publishing) as a general term._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 16:27, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Retarget to printer (publishing). It seems to be the closest plausible synonym. I've also found obscure products and companies named Printing plant hence my weak vote --Lenticel ^(talk) 01:33, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at target. Steel1943 (talk) 01:10, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment adding Nintendo Ensata. There is an unsourced section at Nintendo DS emulation#Ensata. Tried looking for sources about it; this one-paragraph mention was the only thing I could find that's not a comments section, a webforum, or a random blog (still not sure if it passes WP:RS). 59.149.124.29 (talk) 02:02, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete As well as the unsourced information in the article. In fact, the entire Nintendo DS emulation article itself is dubious in terms of notability. Is it really necessary when there is already a List of video game emulators?_{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 11:24, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
