Not discussed in any detail at the target. Qwerfjkl talk  20:45, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The Last Tag → Horror films of Cambodia (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]
 * Keep. I redirected the page yesterday. It redirects to a list section, but I've just added a line there with original title/dir/screenwriter. And a mention and source in the Themes section of that article that certainly needs improvement.- My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  21:35, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Two substantive mentions at the target. Better than a redlink. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:18, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was keep CString, move C string (disambiguation) to C string. -- Tavix ( talk ) 18:50, 11 November 2023 (UTC)


 * C string → C string handling (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]
 * CString → Null-terminated string (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Two similar redirects should target a single page. But which one? Kpratter (talk) 13:40, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep as is. These are not the same thing, and are separate titles and it's neither necessary nor ideal in this case to have them matching, per WP:SMALLDETAILS and WP:DIFFCAPS. A CString is a concept which exists primarily in C++/MFC, and it seems sensible for that to remain redirected to Null-terminated string, since at heart that's what it is. C string on the other hand, I'd imagine C string handling is the correct redirect. I suppose C strings are generally null-terminated, but given that we have a specific article on the whole concept of strings in C, that's probably best. Overall, I see no reason to change anything. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 16:11, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep CString but change C string to C string (disambiguation).Spitzak (talk) 22:10, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It would be a violation of WP:MISPLACED to have C string redirect to C string (disambiguation). A7V2 (talk) 01:07, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Replace with disambguation page and point the other there, and list both uses on the disambiguation page -- 67.70.25.175 (talk) 03:19, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I believe the one without a space can go to null-terminated string, though anybody with more knowledge about the other subjects on the disambiguation page can indicate if they are ever written without a space. Spitzak (talk) 17:03, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep as is. I agree with Amakuru. CString is a type of null-terminated string, and is mentioned explicitly in that article. If you were talking about C strings and wanted to link the term to an article, C string handling would be a logical and unsurprising destination. mjec (t/c) 02:28, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Consensus seems to point towards keeping CString as is, per WP:SMALLDETAILS. However, there are still a few loose ends from recent discussions... one could even call them loose Strings which need to be "C"-n... Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Utopes (talk / cont) 15:10, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have reverted the change the nom had made at the dab page one minute before this nomination, of making a data structure the primary topic. Jay  💬 18:44, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * In hindsight, the nom's edit at the dab was correct and he was following MOS:DABPRIMARY. The data structure has been the primary topic since 2011. I have reverted my revert. Jay  💬 06:17, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Googling C string pulls up results for C-string (clothing) as well. Is WP:SMALLDETAILS enough here? Not sure; worth noting C-string points to the DAB, though I would think that has a better case for SMALLDETAILS. CString should definitely point somewhere coding, and I'll trust the others that the current target is best, since I have no real knowledge of coding. cstring also exists and points to C string handling – is that good? (Once again, little coding knowledge.) Skarmory   (talk •   contribs)  03:35, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep CString per others; the non-spaced term is a shorthand to differentiate functions in other programming languages that mimic the way that C handles strings instead of the way that the other language handles them natively, which is generally down to dynamic allocation and null termination. The current target is a better explanation than C string handling; if you're programming in C you have no need to talk about CStrings, they're just Strings (at least, this is my not-very-experienced understanding). Move C string (disambiguation) over C string as the disambiguation lists other reasonable targets, none of which are primary (keeping in mind WP:SYSTEMICBIAS). Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:52, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate and keep per User:Spitzak and User:Ivanvector. If a C programmer searches for "C string", they're probably looking for C string handling, whereas if a C++ programmer searches for it, they're probably looking for Null-terminated string. I don't see how either target can be the primary topic for that search term, so it needs to be disambiguated (in other words, move C string (disambiguation) to C string). On the other hand a C programmer is unlikely to search for "CString" – that search term is pretty unambiguous so it should be kept. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 21:22, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

 * The smiffs → The Smiths (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Maybe there's an argument to be made about pronunciation with accents, but this seems like an unlikely name or a joke. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:27, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 12:37, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

 * A. C. H. → TDThomas (wrestler) (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

If this redirect shall exist, it could go to ACH (wrestler) or a general disambiguation page for acronyms. I have no idea why it goes to a double-redirect for TD Thomas (wrestler). Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:20, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * 'retarget to ACH disambiguation page. There are many uses of this term. This is the pedantic form of the initialism -- 65.92.247.90 (talk) 03:38, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Unnecessary, since there is only one page called "Hadamard Test" Mover of molehills move me 01:32, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: As the page was previously at this location, unless this redirect is inaccurate, which I don't view it to be, then keeping to not break incoming links is reason enough for me to keep. <b style="color: #ea5a5a;">Tartar</b>Torte 04:25, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
