 * The result of the discussion was Retarget to Chip and Chips, respectively. Ruslik_ Zero 18:32, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Should likely be re-targeted as these terms are ambiguous, particularly due to cultural language differences. The dab Chips might be the best place for these to redirect. France 3470  ( talk ) 22:43, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * → French fries (links to redirect • [ history] • )    [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]
 *  → French fries (links to redirect • [ history] • )    [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]
 * Disambiguate per nom. There's lots of different kinds of chips, potato chips, apple chips, plantain chips, etc. 70.24.251.71 (talk) 08:25, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Chips. I see no other options, actually, as my web search didn't reveal absolute dominance of any target. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 11:08, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Retarget to chip and chips respectively. I'm not sure having two distinct dab pages is necessary, but as long as we do then I think the singular form should redirect to a broader singular form. – hysteria18 (talk) 12:43, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was Speedy deleted as attack page Peridon (talk) 18:20, 20 February 2012 (UTC)


 * → Flower (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

A rather old and little used redirect which by the number of arbitrary target changes I suspect is either a joke or some form of promotion. Doesn't appear to have any relation to the target, flower. France 3470  ( talk ) 15:54, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy-delete as long-overlooked vandalism. Rossami (talk) 17:15, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, I've tagged it G3. France 3470   ( talk ) 17:40, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was Delete. Ruslik_ Zero 18:29, 28 February 2012 (UTC)


 * → Template:1994 Pacific typhoon season buttons (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Template has been repurposed as a footer; "TOC" is no longer a sensible redirect. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 15:01, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: we had recently quite a lot of similar redirects. All the effect this one has is that it can make bots maintainers' work harder and hide some future interclusions of the target template in various discussions. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 17:53, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Incorrect capitalization. uKER (talk) 04:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment what's wrong with it? R from mispelling 70.24.251.71 (talk) 07:14, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Redirects from capitalization variants are routine.  While the Wikipedia search engine can (now) handle case-invariant requests, several of the other techniques that readers use to navigate the wiki remain case-sensitive.  This causes no obvious harm or confusion and is entirely in keeping with the purpose of a redirect.  The tag should be R from capitalization, though.  Rossami (talk) 17:17, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: typical legitimate redirect use case, to be tagged as R from other capitalisation though. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 17:55, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
