I wonder if the more specific Electric utility would be a better match for the redirect? The current target Electric power industry is better written though. (This is also WP:DIFFCAPS with Power Company, but not redirecting to the group comic of characters is quite appropriate here.) Paul_012 (talk) 23:07, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Retarget as proposed. In common parlance (at least around here) the power company is the entity you buy your electricity from. In some places it may also be the entity that generates the electricity, but that possibility is disambiguated by the first sentence of electric utility.

 * The result of the discussion was keep  . I withdraw my proposal. (non-admin closure) &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  16:16, 1 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia:Special:RandomInCategory → Special:RandomInCategory (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

No real reason to have this page. &#8213; Qwerfjkl talk  21:41, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. The many, many Wikipedia:Special soft redirects, of which this is one, exist to allow wikilinking to Special: pages. The nominator has not provided any valid reason for deletion. UnitedStatesian (talk) 21:50, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. No real reason not to have this page. -- Tavix ( talk ) 21:55, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is well used so deletion would cause harm, and the nominator has identified no benefits that will arise from deletion. Thryduulf (talk) 11:19, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

 * The KING and QUEEN of CANADA → Monarchy of Canada (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Delete per WP:RCAPS. Note that the original contribution was vandalism. -- Tavix ( talk ) 21:39, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete even if someone decided to use The King and Queen of Canada as a search term they wouldn’t type any of those terms in allcaps. I could see a case for The King and Queen of Canada potentially being useful but not this.--67.70.144.233 (talk) 05:06, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Should have been G3ed. --Paul_012 (talk) 08:20, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete &#8213; Qwerfjkl talk  19:18, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - not useful as a search term, evidenced by its zero pagehits. The original contribution was possibly a legal threat, definitely a hoax. Ivanvector's squirrel (trees/nuts) 18:25, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per G3. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 21:25, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

 * <span id="Toho animations アニメーション">Toho animations アニメーション → Toho (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Unlikely search term as I doubt anyone would search "Toho animations" and then the Japanese characters for animation. Toho Animation would be a far more plausible redirect. Link20XX (talk) 21:36, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete someone looking this up wouldn't type the English term animation and its Japanese equivalent together since that would essentially be calling it Toho animations animations.--67.70.144.233 (talk) 02:34, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as an incredibly implausible search term. Toho Animation and 東宝アニメーション would be fine, though. Mlb96 (talk) 07:03, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Appears to be a bad cut&paste move attempt. --Paul_012 (talk) 08:20, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per the above. Mixed-script redirects are only rarely good redirects, and this is even less plausible than most. Thryduulf (talk) 11:22, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as implausible. Rubbish computer Ping me or leave a message on my talk page 14:50, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Soft Boy

 * The result of the discussion was soft delete  . Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion .  ✗  plicit  00:14, 8 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Soft Boy → Wilbur Soot (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Not mentioned in the target, and (absence of) discussion at the target talk page suggests there's no enthusiasm for adding a mention. There are some possible alternative targets but none is ideal: soft boy exists, but we don't usually have soft redirects at Title Case locations; there's a mention of "softboys" at LGBT stereotypes, but that's also different orthography; or this could refer to a member of The Soft Boys, but we don't have many redirects to plurals for bands. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 21:05, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was Speedy delete per WP:CSD  . The consensus is that this was created in error. Thryduulf (talk) 11:26, 1 August 2021 (UTC)


 * <span id="INpolis (city), Marion County, IN">INpolis (city), Marion County, IN → Indianapolis (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Seems like an implausible search term. Rubbish computer Ping me or leave a message on my talk page 20:06, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yikes, this looks like a bad bot job. That's not even the worst, I found Vezins, ME-et-Loire (a French commune) from the same batch. I doubt these kind of redirects were meant to be created, so I can easily see a WP:G6 argument here. The other redirects of that type that redirect to Indianapolis are: INpolis, IN and INpolis (city), IN, -- Tavix  ( talk ) 21:36, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I've lived in Indianapolis all my life, and have never seen any reference to INpolis, not even as a strange branding campaign. Indyguy (talk) 22:35, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete this one and the Vezins one listed by Tavix. Implausible junk. Hog Farm Talk 23:05, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedily delete as G6. Obviously created in error. I've tagged some others I've found: INpolis, IN, INpolis (city), IN, INpolis (balance), Marion County, IN, INpolis (balance), IN, Thalia (VA Beach), VA, Tennessee, AL and Georgia Railroad, and Vezins, ME-et-Loire. --Paul_012 (talk) 08:20, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Cross software → Cross-platform software (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Delete per WP:RFD, confusing, and WP:RFD, encourage expansion. Cross-platform software is not known as "Cross software", and my quick gsearch brings up a software integrator called Cross Software and CROSS ERP by Swindia (here), none of which we have. No links in article space, only listed at an Articles Needed WikiProject. 85.67.32.244 (talk) 14:28, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Cross platform app development → Mobile app development (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Retarget to Cross-platform software (as does) per WP:PRECISE. The development of cross-platform mobile apps is not really covered at the target, and not all cross-platform app development is for mobile applications. There's also R but that's not so ambiguous, although perhaps also imprecise in that not all phones are mobile.. 85.67.32.244 (talk) 11:57, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

 * United States national beach soccer team → United States men's national beach soccer team (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

This redirect should be deleted because US Soccer runs both men's and women's national beach soccer teams (see https://www.ussoccer.com/teams) Seany91 (talk) 07:54, 31 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:RFD, this is an and in the absence of  (or ) this is unambiguous. There are 50 incoming links from article space (not via transclusions). 85.67.32.244 (talk) 13:43, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per the points outlined by the IP above. Rubbish computer Ping me or leave a message on my talk page 20:09, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. If the USA has a notable women's beach soccer team (I have no idea) then when we get an article about them then this can be turned into a disambiguation page, but until that time it's unambiguous. Thryduulf (talk) 11:30, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. --BDD (talk) 13:31, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
