This claim seems to be a bit dubious, see[1] - BBC states that a Henry Greathead made the first lifeboat.Hog Farm (talk)22:43, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Regardless of whether he invented the lifeboat, the redirect is clearly useless. --Pingumeister(talk)23:41, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I may be wrong but I think they meantLifeboat (rescue)#History which makes a lot more sense.--69.157.252.96 (talk)02:08, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- But there are several other lifeboats that give this information:Lifeboat (shipboard)#Origins,Rescue craft#History, and evenAirborne lifeboat has multiple sections depending if you're looking for the British or American lifeboat. --Tavix(talk)03:20, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion wasdisambiguate. Thank you for the draft, Shhhnotsoloud. --JHunterJ (talk)12:06, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not used exclusively to refer to this topic, but I'm not convinced that disambiguation is necessarily the best idea. The potential targets include the current target, which doesn't have Marble and Man in that order in the article,Marble Man: Marble Madness II, which is a redirect, and thenRobert E. Lee who was sometimes known by this nickname. Also, I'm not sure if there's a strong connection between the current target and the redirect or not.Hog Farm (talk)22:41, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Disambiguate. I think "Marble Man" is an adequate translation of the film title, so there are 3 choices: enough for a disambiguation page. I've provided a draft.Shhhnotsoloud (talk)13:44, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Disambiguate - I think these three topics warrant a disambiguation. Even if the film's title isn't exactly "Marble Man", the words are close enough that some users might search for it that way. The inclusion of the "See also" section in Notsoloud's draft further strengthens the rationale. Furthermore, if the connection for the film isn't deemed strong enough, I think the "See also" section would be a suitable place to include it.

- Delete all, don't retarget. We have previous consensus for deletion, atWikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 July 11#Abe Lincoln vs. Chuck Norris. These all pollute the search box, and are very unlikely to be linked to.

Ambiguous. There'sYe Olde Curiosity Shop, among other things.Hog Farm (talk)16:45, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. This is not really ambiguous in the usual sense, as it's a very generic name for many non-notable shops in many different places, so the current target is almost certainly what most people are looking for. Of the many other aritcles with "Ye Olde" in the title,Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe seems to be the only that also includes "Shop" or "Shoppe" so a hatnote to that article and a link tospecial:search/intitle:Ye Olde either in the hatnote or a see also would seem to serve people at least as well.Thryduulf (talk)00:29, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep.Hog Farm leads with a compelling example, but my instinct, for the want of any statistics, is that most people searching for "Ye Olde Shoppe" are seeking information on the cliché. I've strolled down Western Avene noshing on a vatrushka from Prioshky Piroshky, and Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe didn't penetrate my awareness. Thegeneric "Ye Olde Shoppe", on the other hand, has gotta be familiar to a huge audience. —jameslucas▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄01:18, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Maio" is sometimes used in Italian as a name (takeMaio of Bari, for instance), but I'm not sure about it as another form of "Mario" (the aforementioned guy's first name was Maione in Italian). Possibly for this reason, these redirects gotFAR fewer pageviews than their targets in 2019. Regards,SONIC67815:16, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ambiguous; there doesn't seem to be a primary topic nor enough to disambiguate, thusdelete. Self-references like this should be avoided in mainspace especially if ambiguous ... and yes, I'm nominatingXfDXfD atXfD.— J947[cont]02:17, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. This is not actually ambiguous due to the differing capitalisation (Xfd vs. XFD) from everything you linked to. It couldperhaps cause minor confusion among those miscapitalising other things, but that is resolvable by hatnotes.Glades12 (talk)07:04, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep- I would say typing this in with only the second letter not capitalised is clearly someone looking for XfD processes on Wikipedia and not all that ambiguous. As a second optioncreate disambig, namely one linking to the the Douglas XFD aeroplane, the XFD language if we've got an article for it, and toWikipedia:Deletion process#Deletion discussions.ReykYO!07:10, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Disambiguate per Reyk. --Pandakekok9 (talk)11:33, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Note as I added this originally and want to provide my context for insight. I added this because we haveAfD,CfD,TfD,MfD,FfD. However, I made the mistake these go to disamg pages. I apologize for the confusion and see the discussion appropriate to bring up. I would be supportive of it redirecting to Douglas XFD with the hatnote or a new disamg. –The Grid (talk)14:00, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Disambiguate by retargeting to the newly created dab page atXFD. We should avoid differentiating solely based on capitalisation differences when those differences are so small (XFD vsxfd? – yes;XFD vs.XfD? – no). I don't think retargeting to the non-reader-facing part of the project namespace should ever be an option. –Uanfala (talk)16:07, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
