October 3

T.U.S.A. → United States

The nominated redirect was Deleted --Cyde Weys 20:00, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely redirect, "USA" or "US" are the standard and ubiquitous abbreviations, not likely anyone would look for the article under this name. Heimstern Läufer 23:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as incomprehensible (and incorrect) redirect. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 00:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's so fake → United States

The nominated redirect was Deleted --Cyde Weys 20:00, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Absolute nonsense, unless I'm totally missing something here. Heimstern Läufer 23:53, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Caparisoned elephants → Elephants of Kerala

As below. I've changed the only link that was using this redirect Mereda 17:12, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Procession of caparisoned elephants → Elephants of Kerala

As below. I've changed the only link that was using this redirect phrase. Mereda 17:06, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The processions of richly caparisoned elephants → Elephants of Kerala

Unlikely and unnecessary redirect. I've changed a few links to go direct to Elephants of Kerala. Mereda 16:47, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Richly caparisoned elephant → Elephants of Kerala

Circular redirect for Elephants of Kerala. Mereda 16:31, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as incomprehensible (and probably incorrect) redirect. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 00:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Elephants used for festival, south India → Elephants of Kerala

Unlikely redirect that's out of step with WP:NAME. I've already changed another unlikely redirect at Elephants used for festivals towards the more generic Temple elephant. Delete that too? Mereda 16:27, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The nominated redirect was kept, but turned into a disambiguation page.--SB | T 01:37, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chode & Choad → Taint (slang)

Both articles themself have been deleted in the past using the AFD process:

And the target article they currently point at is a different part of the body... Thanks/wangi 00:04, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You all are a bunch of conservative bitches, welcome to the free world, the information should be provided. Number one, get a life, number two, get a sense of humor, number three, stop being so bitchy

Change target to penis, there are tons of slang terms that redirect there. Also, it might deter recreation of the articles themselves. --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 00:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Scratch that, apparently it can mean different things. So unless a definitive definition is provided, salt it. --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 21:43, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Following their AFDs both pages were {{deleted page}}d and protected to prevent recreation, the following retarget to taint was done by Adam Bishop (talk · contribs). I think the deleted page notice is a better solution than a redirect. Thanks/wangi 09:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I thought they were the same part of the body. Adam Bishop 13:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Change target per Mr. Lefty. Protected redirects tend to stick longer than protected deleted pages. Tizio, Caio, Sempronio 16:07, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to penis per Mr. Lefty, since that (not the perineum) is the usual meaning in English slang. Deleting it will just encourage nonsense. Gavia immer (u|t|c) 16:41, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- But these don't refer to the penis! Adam Bishop 17:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - In everyday conversation I've heard it refer to the penis, but the folks at Urban Dictionary can't seem to agree on whether it means "penis" or "perineum." So, maybe a {{deletedpage}} would be a better idea. --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 21:43, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As a slang term with at least three anatomical meanings, undelete and revert back to the disambiguation page version, failing that, redirect it Tripping the Rift as it's the name of a major character in said cartoon. —freak(talk) 01:11, Oct. 14, 2006 (UTC)

University of Quebec at Abitibi- Temiscamingue → Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue

The nominated redirect was Two kept & two deleted. Extra space with hyphen on the one & the extra u in the other are unlikely typos. -- JLaTondre 00:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Was created out of a misunderstanding of using French names of universities. Redundent redirects. Also nominating:

University of Quebec at Abitibi-Temiscamingue→Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue
University of Quebec in Outaouais→Université du Québec en Outaouais
Universuity of Quebec in Outaouais→Université du Québec en Outaouais -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk) 00:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, see: [1], [2] etc - plausable redirects. Thanks/wangi 00:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, these are very plausable and useful redirects. There is a significant population of anglophones in Quebec who use the English translated names. - Crockspot 03:51, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All as per above. Jcam 15:45, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
