Delete or Retarget to Bush family in light of all of the following:
 * 1) Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 March 23 retargeted Walker Bush to the Bush family, and it is logical that either this redirect also move to it or get deleted per my essay.
 * 2) "Walker Bush" is not a nickname of his, or a double-barrelled surname in the veins of "Lloyd George", "Lloyd Webber", amongst others. In fact, if it is, it would have been even more ambiguous to have such a redirect
 * 3) For more reasonings please see links above.

 * I was about to say keep because it is one of many ways of differentiating between the two Bushes, but it actually looks to be ambiguous between the two. Some sources use Walker Bush as Bush Snr's last name – albeit probably incorrectly. So instead, retarget to Bush family which has links (which probably should be more prominent) at the top of the page to the two Bushes. — &thinsp;J947 ‡ message ⁓ edits 05:43, 19 April 2021 (
 * Delete. Ambiguous, not a name actually used to refer to either member of the bush family, has received only 32 page views in the last 5 years. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 10:41, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I probably should've checked for a better target. Retarget there. — &thinsp;J947 ‡ message ⁓ edits 19:01, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Retarget to President Bush. While I do think most searchers using this seek George W. Bush (and would be fine if kept), this target would logically follow from Walker Bush targeting Bush Family. Mdewman6 (talk) 02:18, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Retarget to President Bush per above and since "president" is part of the search term, so Bush family is too broad. Patar knight - chat/contributions 07:59, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

This is some kind of terminology related to earthquakes, which isn't mentioned in the earth article, and the section it's supposed to be tatgeting doesn't exist. mainshock targets foreshock, should this be retargeted to match or is there a better target? 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:54, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: Thanks for finding this, looking to fix it, and notifying me of the discussion. It looks like I changed this in 2018 so that it pointed to the same target as mainshock and I agree that that should still be the case. Regrettably, I seem to have used the wrong target at that time; I believe it was intended to be targeting Earthquake#Earthquake clusters. If there is no article specifically about mainshocks, that still seems like a reasonable target. Foreshock is also reasonable, but by that logic, I would think that aftershock would also be viable, so I prefer the general approach if no better targets are identified. —Ost (talk) 19:41, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: I would think Main shock and Mainshock should target the same place, so I'll bundle it in with the relist.

 * Delete. Not likely to be useful since it's long, it's a rather arbitrary selection and ordering of his titles, and on top of that, Ladislaus is already a less common form of his name.

 * Nilpotent endomorphism → Nilpotent matrix (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nilpotent_endomorphism&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Similarly to how redirects to the more general article Idempotent (ring theory), I suggest this be retargeted to Nilpotent. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 15:50, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Neutral for the two targets (not deletion though): On one hand, the nilpotent transformation in the second paragraph of Nilpotent matrix is precisely the notion of a nilpotent endomorphism (just for vector spaces) and may be more useful for someone searching specifically for nilpotent endomorphisms than the more general article (a reader of the more general article looking for nilpotent endomorphism may not realize that they need to consider a nilpotent endomorphism as an element of an endomorphism ring). On the other hand, the more general article is technically correct since a nilpotent endomorphism does not need to be on a vector space. — MarkH21talk 17:31, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose if asked to take a side. The thing is the terms like "nilpotent endomorphism" mostly appear in the context of linear algebra or representation theory. Since it is synonymous with "nilpotent transformation" and that one redirects to "nilpotent matrix", this one needs to share the same target. (This is a matter of tension between common usage and math precision and the common usage should typically be weighted higher.) —- Taku (talk) 23:35, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't think that this is actually a phrase. SCP-053 (talk) 02:30, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
 * a google scholar search turns up loads of mathematical papers using this phrase, so clearly this is a real thing. We don't delete these kind of technical redirects because someone "thinks" it isn't a real phrase, we are guided by usage in reliable sources. I don't know enough about this topic to make a judgement, so I'm going to stay quiet in this discussion, but I would make the suggestion that you should really read the advice at WP:Contributing to complicated discussions. Knowing when you're out of your depth and don't know enough about a topic to make a sensible judgment is an important skill to have. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 18:21, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Severe WP:CRYSTAL issues. There are a number of scenarios in which the 47th President of the United States would not be as the result of the 2024 election. Hog Farm Talk 03:48, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. A very plausible scenario is Biden's re-election, in which case a 47th POTUS would not result from the 2024 election, making this redirect target erroneous. It assumes that a new president will be elected, which is not an assumption Wikipedia can make. ― Tartan357  Talk 03:58, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Another possibility is that Biden decides he's accomplished everything and retires early, making Kamala Harris the 47th President prior to the 2024 election. There are, of course, other circumstances that could lead to that outcome, but the point is that there are too many routes for the 47th President to be decided other than by the 2024 election, for this redirect to predict that outcome.

Relisting comment: brings up interesting points. Discussion could use more commentary to determine consensus.
 * Keep, longstanding redirect, hatnotes are sufficient. —Kusma (𐍄·𐌺) 14:23, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I am not debating the worthiness of keeping the redirect. I am debating its target. DePlume (talk) 15:59, 10 April 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by NotReallySoroka (talk • contribs)
 * Yes, I understand that. My thinking is that the shortcut does send people who know what it has been used for in the last 14 years to the right place. People who don't know and think it means "changing username" or "user categories" need an extra click to get to the place they want. If we change to a disambiguation page, nobody gets where they want to go directly (everyone has to do the extra click). Kind of defeats the purpose of a shortcut. —Kusma (𐍄·𐌺) 18:29, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate per nom -- 67.70.27.246 (talk) 09:02, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Not many uses, and some are intended to link to User categories. WP:WPUC is unused and could redirect to WikiProject University of California. Peter James (talk) 17:28, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Disambiguate per the above. It is generally difficult in the real world for a two-letter acronym to have a primary topic. Why could this not as easily refer to a Wikiproject for the University of Chicago or Ulcerative colitis? Although those don't exist, username changes and user categories, for example, do.

 * Disambiguate (dab drafted below the redirect). WP:UC is conceivable as a shortcut for several guidelines/info pages of general significance and it's weird to have it targeting a dormant niche wikiproject. There aren't that many incoming links (some of them in fact intend different targets). – Uanfala (talk) 14:32, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

This is not one Unicode character, it uses the combining cedilla. There is no mention of it in the article now and there wasn't when the redirect was created . It was mentioned on the talk page (Talk:Cedilla but no explanation was provided. It's an unlikely combination as there appears to be no language that uses both Þ and the cedilla. (It was included in a template but was removed in 2013.)

 * Delete, I agree it's an unlikely combination and does not appear to be in actual use. Adumbrativus (talk) 09:08, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. 50 page views in 5 years is about as implausible as redirects come, and as the nominator states there is no language that contains both Þ and the cedilla. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 21:06, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. I could in fact find no usage for this character. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 09:24, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
