The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 21:31, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The targets of these redirects are not list articles, as stated by Codename Lisa in the reason for reverting the moves. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 20:37, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep all - it's hard to imagine that someone looking for a list of features new to Windows 7 would be disappointed by being pointed at an article discussing the features which were added when Windows 7 was released, and it's extremely unlikely that we would have a list alongside this article. Frankly I think the issue of whether or not this page qualifies as a list or not is a bit of rampant pedantry, all in good faith of course but still unnecessary. Also note that the features removed are in lists: List of features removed in Windows 7 and so on. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:21, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all per Ivanvector. Steel1943 (talk) 04:11, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all harmless, useful search terms, @GeoffreyT2000: you have not provided a valid reason for deletion. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 06:42, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all. The search engine can handle this. Icanvector is right for the most but deleting them is just good sense. They are harmless though. But again, I haven't seen a harmful redirect yet. Fleet Command (talk) 10:23, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all. Plausible search terms, in line with other "list of ..." redirects. SSTflyer 13:42, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Jasmine van den Bogaerde, best known as Birdy → Birdy (singer)  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 
  • Jasmine Van den Bogaerde, commonly known as Birdy → Birdy (singer)  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I don't think any reader would type this into the search box. sst✈ 10:18, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - unlikely search term. If someone knows the person's name, there's no need for them to continue typing the "best known as" part. Stats are near zero. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:36, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Bush family. Thanks for the suggestion! (non-admin closure) -- Tavix (talk) 15:35, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Walker Bush → George W. Bush  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete, no one is known simply as "Walker Bush." It also has the WP:XY problem as both George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush use "Walker Bush" as part of their names. -- Tavix (talk) 03:17, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • There's a Walker Bush mentioned a couple times at Bush family, but he doesn't have an article. - Eureka Lott 04:01, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Bush family. That page pretty much covers it, and includes convenient links to the two presidents. sst✈ 08:55, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Bush family per SSTflyer, good find. Our discussions over similar Neelix redirects recently (not that this is one) have shown consensus for not keeping redirects from unusual selections of parts of a person's name (middle and last, first and middle, etc), plus the WP:XY problem. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:35, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bush family is a good target. It also discusses the Bush connection to the Walker family, the reason they have "Walker" in their names. Consider it withdrawn. -- Tavix (talk) 15:35, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
