The result of the discussion was Retarget 70/11/12 to 1970 as its only an alternate name and may look like a date. Keep the others. Tikiwont (talk) 21:35, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Improbable search terms, no incoming links. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:37, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep all as harmless. These are all titles of bootleg recordings mentioned in the article that don't conflict with anything else. They do get more hits than background noise (albeit not a lot) showing some use. Deletion will not bring benefits. Thryduulf (talk) 10:42, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Improbable search term is not a criterion for deletion - implausible is (or at least, there's no reason to keep implausible search terms typically). These search terms, while improbable, are plausible, and thus make the encyclopaedia more useful by aiding navigation. That, and there's nothing to motivate their deletion.

  • Response In what scenario would someone search for "Amsterdam 1969 (Harvest)"? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:46, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • When they want to find out about the recording they have (heard of) called "Amsterdam 1969 (Harvest)" - they might not even know it's a bootleg. Thryduulf (talk) 18:20, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Response It's not called "Amsterdam 1969 (Harvest)"--there are (at least) two bootlegs named "Amsterdam 1969" and this one just has a malformed disambiguation at the end. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:07, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • When they're looking for the album Complete Concertgebouw, which is sometimes called Amsterdam 1969 (Harvest) (at least, according to the article), and they're more familiar with the latter name (or it just happens to come to mind first). WilyD 07:20, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget 70/11/12 to 1970, since is looks like a date to me. Keep the others. Ego White Tray (talk) 12:26, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Redirect both to the same target. And so following that: Re-target to Template:Strikethrough. - jc37 23:27, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:S → Template:Space (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 
• T:S → Template:Spotlight (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Retarget to Template:Strikethrough. Help:Wiki markup#Strikethrough uses <s> so beas to keep consistency. Plus it would be much easier to type "{{s|text}} then {{Strike|text}}. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 10:44, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I got this mixed up with T:S which redirects to Template:Spotlight. Still, I think we should have consistency here so my retarget recommendation stands. T:S should have the same target as Template:S anyway, so I'll add T:S to this RFD. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 10:52, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• This redirect is currently used on 280 articles, I'm not sure how many of those are via another template. I agree that T:S should have the same target. TimBentley (talk) 14:47, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• REtarget both to the strikethrough template. -- 65.92.181.190 (talk) 06:30, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete T:S. No reason why you would ever want to use a shortcut to such an inconsequential template. It is longer to type as a transclusion, too. — This, that, and the other (talk) 03:31, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

{*Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport Aéroport Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle Roissy Airport → Charles de Gaulle Airport (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Malformed redirect title, probably remnant of an accidental move. Dicklyon (talk) 01:27, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• delete. Rather surprisingly this was created directly as a redirect earlier this month, but I cannot see any utility in it. It seems to be a concatination of English, standard French and local French names for the airport. All three individually make good search terms, but not the concatenation. Thryduulf (talk) 02:55, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Unused search term. "Pepper" @ 18:42, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
