• SSMUSA → Same-sex marriage in the United States  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This looks to be a vague initialism that is not used to describe the current target. SSM has several entries that are American and most of the hits I encountered on an external search engine are for a company in Naples, Florida and SSM Health. -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:06, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nominator. "SSMUSA" seems to refer to a couple of non-notable organisations, a non-notable person and then search results devolve into OCR gibberish. The companies Tavix refers to seem to predominantly brand themselves as "SSM-USA" or "SSM USA". Thryduulf (talk) 19:24, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as not an organization with a Wikipedia page, otherwise it could go to SSM#Organizations AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:36, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Same sex marriage is legalized in all 50 US states. → Same-sex marriage in the United States  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I don't think this is plausible due to the period at the end. It also reads to me like a news headline, in which it may fail WP:NOTNEWS. -- Tavix ^(talk) 22:24, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There should be no redirects with a superfluous period at the end. UnitedStatesian (talk) 23:59, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete; even without the period, a full sentence isn't plausible unless it's a well-known quotation. Nyttend (talk) 00:52, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I guess someone using this search term is looking for when or how same-sex marriage was legalised in the final tranche of US states. That information is at the target article. Thryduulf (talk) 19:26, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as WP:NOTNEWSPAPER headilne. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:34, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Indeterminate form. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 02:17, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Zero divided by zero → Division by zero  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

• 0/0 → Indeterminate form  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

It looks like 0/0 and Zero divided by zero are the same thing, so they ought to redirect to the same place. I don't know the terminology in this area, so I can't advocate one over the other, let alone a third target over both of them. Nyttend (talk) 21:35, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PS, see the VFD for 0/0 from 2004, which resulted in it being pointed to its current target. Nyttend (talk) 21:45, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget Zero divided by zero to Indeterminate form for consistency and correctness. UnitedStatesian (talk) 00:01, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget 0/0 and n/0 are very different, indeterminate form is the more correct target mathematically and per WP:R#PLA. ComplexRational (talk) 02:26, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment google results for "0/0" result in hits for both zero divided by zero and zero to the power of zero in approximately equal measure, along with no-score draws in football (which we don't seem to have an article about). Thryduulf (talk) 19:31, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget both to indeterminate form as there's a section dedicated to 0/0. Add redirect hatnotes for Zero Zero and 00, the latter of which has a number of redirect choices. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:37, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect both to indeterminate form, there's a possibility for a stand-alone article here. power~enwiki (π, ν) 20:28, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Glee Jesse St. James → Characters of Glee  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Implausible disambiguation method. The character is called Jesse St. James. —Xezbeth (talk) 09:47, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Jesse St. James already redirects. You could create a proper dab Jesse St. James (Glee) so that search won't confuse with porn star Jessie St. James. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:45, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
