• Standoff (draw) → Tie (draw)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Is this appropriate? I suppose "standoff" could be used to mean a tie, but it isn't used in this article. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 19:51, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I don't think it's appropriate, as a standoff really isn't a synonym for a tie. A tie is an ending, a standoff continues indefinitely or until the balance of sides changes, and that difference makes a huge difference in how the words are used. In a game of rock-scissors-paper, if both play rock, you'd never say it's a standoff. When two baseball teams have the same score, it's not a standoff. Basically, I don't think the disambiguator for this redirect exists, is accurate, or is in use anywhere, and thus is not plausible. Fieari (talk) 23:13, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as a harmless {{r from synonym}}. One definition of the word in the OED is: Chiefly U.S. A contest or competition with no outright winner, or the result of this; a draw. - Eureka Lott 03:15, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Eureka. (draw) makes it unambigous. Ca ^{talk to me!} 11:43, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per EurekaLott. Stalemate (chess) is linked at the Standoff dab page, but that's just one specific example of current target and is linked from that page anyway. Thryduulf (talk) 20:20, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Starman Deluxe → Mother (video game series)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

was about to retarget to earthbound, as it's a boss there, but it's such a throwaway one that i'm not sure it shouldn't be deleted cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 12:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Project. Redirect has been repeatedly hijacked. Favonian (talk) 10:42, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Projects → Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Projects  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Is it really appropriate to have a mainspace redirect to this? GRP isn't that well known, and particularly for non-editors people are much more likely to mean it as the plural form of project. So, should it stay how it is, redirect to project, be deleted, or something else? Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 10:25, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Portal:Kosovo → Portal:Europe  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Same deal as Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2024_January_15#Portal:Albania including the MfDs (Kosovo and Montenegro). The target does not contain information about their respective countries most of the time so the redirects are potentially confusing. Nickps (talk) 00:48, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
