The result was redirect to State funeral. No need to drag this out, the only disagreement here being on the most appropriate redirect target. I selected State funeral, but if another target is judged more appropriate, that can be discussed on the talk page. Randykitty (talk) 16:21, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Death and state funeral

I was mistaken in my AFC acceptance. Redirect to List of people who have received a state funeral. This is not a true disambiguation page. It's really an incomplete list and a POV fork. Please accept my apologies. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 23:42, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of people who have received a state funeral: Per nom. It is just a list. – robertsky (talk) 01:27, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to State funeral instead the one above. See BD2412's comment. – robertsky (talk) 09:10, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect per WP:PTM and as a plausible search term. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 01:48, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect as suggested above. --Bduke (talk) 03:10, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per nom Kathlene Smoot (talk) 18:58, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to State funeral. Nothing about the title suggests to me that a reader would expect to be taken to a list of instances, rather than an article on the topic. BD2412  T 22:43, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * BD2412 Your suggestion of redirect target is spot on. I was standing too close, and took my cue from the contents, not from the title. I should not alter my rationale since folk have opined based upon it, but I do alter my opinion to be congruent with yours and find that you have the correct redirect target. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 22:58, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Pinging @Bduke, @Kathlene Smoot, @LaundryPizza03, @Robertsky in case you each wish to alter the redirect target to the one suggested by BD2412. I believe my original target was in error, for which I apologise. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 08:00, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I am ok with the update. :) – robertsky (talk) 09:09, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to State funeral per BD2412; this seems to be the best target. InterstellarGamer12321 ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 07:31, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to State funeral per BD2412, and subsequent comments by the nominator and others. Sal2100 (talk) 16:14, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't think this would be helpful as a redirect. It's not a natural search term; the only reason someone would type it in the search box is them having already seen a death and state funeral of X article on Wikipedia and looking for other similar articles, in which case they would be best served by the search suggestions and results. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:30, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to State funeral. I think the best course of action is to redirect to a more developed article, and State funeral seems to be the appropriate target. Shawn Teller (talk) 03:40, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
