Delete as confusing. I thought this might be a redirect from a misspelling to a place in Suriname. Narky Blert (talk) 18:27, 15 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete: redirect is unclear, disambiguation links have always been bracketed whereas locations use commas, see 's comment above. Dr Strauss   talk  11:49, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Surname is not a region. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 22:51, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

There was an short unrefereced sentence in 2011, it's long gone, so rather a meaningless redirect. Ron h jones (Talk) 17:09, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak retarget to AMC (TV channel), which lists him as one of the "regular hosts" of the 1990s. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 00:47, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak retarget per . In the Interview with Dorian, he says "According to some cult film enthusiasts, my greatest achievement was The Evil Dead (directed by Sam Raimi, long before his association with Spiderman) I was the voice on the tape that launched a reign of terror on all those poor unsuspecting teenagers.â?". But the overall interview headlnes him as the AMC TV guy. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 22:55, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Electro-R&B → Alternative R&B (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Electro-R%26B&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

This re-directs to an article that has no information about "Electro-R&B". It does not appear to be an alternative word for it or not. Just a random re-direct that's breaking WP:OR etc. Andrzejbanas (talk) 01:07, 15 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete as is not at target. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 14:26, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm seeing this pop up occasionally as a shortening for 'alternative R&B' in terms of electronica influenced music, but the references are few and far between. I'd rather that we just get rid of the redirect. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 15:41, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was delete. Patar knight - chat/contributions 14:59, 23 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Mongoose Harewood → Marlon Harewood (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mongoose_Harewood&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Can't find anything that indicates this is Harewood's nickname. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:06, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. This was originally an article, but it was a fork of the target but with massive amounts of unsourced information about "his hobby of breeding, grooming and exhibiting his personal prize mongoose collection." This would be a massive WP:DUE violation if it were true, but as I can find absolutely no evidence for this at all it's true so it would probably be a WP:BLP violation to restore it (I say probably as it seems intended to be humorous rather than negative, and some of it is actually quite positive, if true, such as donating large amounts of money to animal charities). The combination of BLP and fork mean I don't think this should be reverted and sent to AfD as is usual when content is unilaterally converted to a redirect. If BJAODN were still a thing though I might be tempted to add this there. Thryduulf (talk) 01:36, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per Thryduulf. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 14:40, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per Thryduulf. I did a quick google search, but I couldn't find any sources that describe Mr. Harewood as "Mongoose Harewood." -- Notecardforfree (talk) 00:50, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per No such nickname in news and book media. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 23:32, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was Keep. (non-admin closure) Steel1943  (talk) 20:21, 22 January 2017 (UTC)


 * The Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine → Boonshoft School of Medicine (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Wright_State_University_Boonshoft_School_of_Medicine&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Proposed deletion. This redirect now serves no purpose. It previously was referenced by one article and one draft, both of which have now been corrected. Jb45424 (talk) 11:25, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. The target article explains that "[i]n 2005, the school changed its name to the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine". It looks like other sources use this name as well (see this article from the Dayton Business Journal), so it's entirely plausible that a reader could enter this name to search for the school. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 00:54, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per Notecardforfree, seems like it's an alternative name for the subject. Thryduulf (talk) 23:47, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - This seems like a helpful enough redirect. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:55, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
