• Outlaws 'til the End: Vol. 2 → Outlaws 'til the End: Vol. 1  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

There is no "Vol. 2" mentioned in the target article, nor is there news or evidence of one existing. Delete per WP:REDLINK and/or WP:HOAX. Steel1943 (talk) 16:00, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Portal:Macedonia

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was Disambiguate. If redirects are cheap, so are disambiguation pages. Macedonia is a disambiguation page, so the consensus here that this should also be one seems perfectly reasonable. ~ mazca ^talk 21:34, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

• Portal:Macedonia → Portal:Republic of Macedonia  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Redirect that has political sensitivities. Not really needed for navigation so why keep this around. Legacypac (talk) 05:54, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

• Keep per WP:NCMAC, and redirects are cheap. Iffy★Chat -- 07:06, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

  If you want to cite that and ignore the tussling over this redirect, it says that Macedonia is supposed to be a dab. Legacypac (talk) 08:45, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

  I'd also support disambiguating per the below comments Iffy★Chat -- 20:48, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

• Delete - The "Macedonia" is a broad one with larger history from the ancient kingdom on into different entities existing in the present day. I understand that redirects don't have to even be strictly accurate, but this appears misleading to an unhelpful extent. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 20:05, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
• Disambiguate between Portal:Republic of Macedonia and Portal:Macedonia (Greece) per WP:NCMAC. -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:09, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Why not just delete as we don't usually make DABs in Portal space. Legacypac (talk) 20:22, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

It's certainly rare, but it's needed in this instance since there are two portals that can be considered "Macedonia". Portal:Macedonia (Greece) is the only portal I have come across that uses parenthetical disambiguation, but there has to be something at the base title (otherwise it would be Portal:Macedonia, which doesn't work for obvious reasons). -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:39, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

• Disambiguate; disambiguation is rare outside of mainspace, but it can work in portalspace just as well as it can in category space or projectspace (e.g. Wikipedia:WikiProject Georgia). Nyttend (talk) 23:27, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Portal:Bangladesh Premier League

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was delete. Cross-namespace redirect with no clear utility, which User:LegacyPac has already unlinked. Clearing this redirect up per the previous MfD seems uncontroversial at this point. ~ mazca ^talk 21:54, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

• Portal:Bangladesh Premier League → Bangladesh Premier League  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Cross name space redirect from a page that is not a Portal. [1] The portal was deleted twice so far as far as I can tell. Legacypac (talk) 05:50, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't remember how this ended up like this, looks like several MFD's were mixed up at the time. The last MFD (#3) called for delete, so that can be enforced. Note, whoever closes this should now also remove the the {{Portal|Bangladesh Premier League}} entries in articlespace. Thanks, — xaosflux ^Talk 11:45, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

 Done it was built into a template and 4 other pages had a second link. Nothing links to the portal page now. Legacypac (talk) 12:08, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Portal:Atlantic Archipelagoes

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was delete. Orphaned ex-portal. No suggestions have been given as to how this redirect could help in any way. ~ mazca ^talk 21:48, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

• Portal:Atlantic Archipelagoes → Category:Archipelagoes of the Atlantic Ocean  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Broken abandoned Portal redirected at MfD. [2] This is not a Portal at all it's a redirect to a category and should be simply removed. Legacypac (talk) 05:47, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

• Delete - It seems like we have clear reason to just take these down. Maybe even we don't need more discussions at this point? CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 20:37, 25 April 2018 (UTC)-
• Delete - unhelpful cross-namespace redirect.    — The Transhumanist   06:52, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Ensis magnus

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was keep. An update of outdated info from a reliable source seems to have uncontroversially resolved the issue here. ~ mazca ^talk 21:49, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

• Ensis magnus → Razor shell  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Not sure what's going on here. The target article describes the species name as Ensis arcuatus, not Ensis magnus. Steel1943 (talk) 03:30, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

• Keep According to WORMS, Ensis arcuatus is a synonym of Ensis magnus. I've updated the article to reflect that. Plantdrew (talk) 16:55, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

"Deadpool Rap"

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was delete. Quotations do not tend to assist in searches in Wikipedia, and the general consensus supports the position that there's no conceivable way this redirect is helpful. ~ mazca ^talk 21:50, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

• "Deadpool Rap" → Deadpool (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

WP does not use quotation marks in the titles of song articles, and quotation marks do not show up in search bar. Deadpool Rap already exists as a redirect. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 02:58, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

• Delete not particularly stylized with the quotes either. [3] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:27, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
• Delete - This doesn't seem harmful, yes, but it's also not really useful either. I agree. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:51, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
