Long-standing redirect created by a page move in 2015. List of countries without ice rinks and ice hockey was deleted by postdlf due to an unreferenced hockey-related junk article edit warning. Not only is there no ice rinks nor ice hockey exists in several countries. AaronWikia (talk) 20:18, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all as implausible redirects.

UKGBNI is listed in the abbreviations dictionary [1] but unfortunately the page that could show UK of GBNI is not viewable there. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:11, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete Thryduulf (talk) 08:22, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It'd be silly to assume this is the most significant part of Blake Peake's career. According to HockeyDB, he played four years with American International College. He also went to the playoffs with the Okotoks Oilers and played for the Notre Dame Hounds and Battlefords North Stars. -- Tavix (talk) 19:00, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Created by an editor subsequently placed under a community ban from creating new redirects (for creating hundreds of suspect ones to burnish his page creation count), this follows the pattern of many of them: an obscure NN hockey player (in this case, someone who never played hockey beyond a just-barely-Division I college school) redirected to a single tournament in which he played. Fails XY, in that this is certainly a more implausible target than American International College itself, the college hockey program where the subject was a four-year starter. (Come to that, I wager I'm the only editor around who's actually seen the AIC Yellow Jackets play home games). Ravenswing 02:39, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Where should this point? The current target is the general article about the country which has existed in its present form since 1922, although the article also deals with the two preceding states Kingdom of Great Britain (1707-1800) and United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1801-1922). The History of the United Kingdom article also covers from 1707 to the present. History of the British Isles covers a broader geographical area prehistory to the present. The post-1800 history of Great Britain is covered in multiple articles with more limited span - Georgian era (1714 to 1830), Regency era (1795 to 1837), Victorian era (1837-1901), Edwardian era (1901-14), History of the United Kingdom during the First World War (1914-18), Home front during World War II#Britain (1939-45) and History of the United Kingdom (1945–present). Great Britain is primarily a geographical article and contains no information about post-1800 history, pointing to History of the United Kingdom.Thryduulf (talk) 17:35, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article United Kingdom is a about a state which has existed since 1801. It was renamed when most of Ireland seceded, that's all. And even then, largely through precedence (though some titles were officially changed by an act in 1927). Idk why I created that redirect though, its pretty pointless. I'd favour just deleting it.

Delete: Faulty disambiguation per some of yesterday's discussions. Lordtobi (✉) 15:51, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@AngusWOOF: Just for clarification, Thryduulf also recommended weakly keeping one of them. Do you also support that recommendation? -- Tavix (talk) 17:10, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm kind of neutral on the keywords scheme for searching: e.g. Daedelus musician. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:25, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Washington DC politics

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 retarget to Government of the District of Columbia#Politics. There is agreement that the redirect is ambiguous, and that there are two likely targets: Politics of the United States (the current target) and Government of the District of Columbia#Politics. The latter of these has received more support (5 effective !votes vs. 2 for the former) and has been shown to be a more specific target, and the one that is consistent with other redirects of the same form (Nyttend's argument). Hence, I see clear consensus for retargeting. However, the fact that 5 out of the 12 participants in the discussion did not explicitly support an outcome is probably an indication that the matter shouldn't be seen as completey settled. (non-admin closure) – Uanfala 12:03, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Politics of Washington D.C. and Politics of the District of Columbia do not exist, not sure if it should be retargeted to Government of the District of Columbia or an article be created. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 07:23, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I just created these two terms as redirects to Government_of_the_District_of_Columbia#Politics because they are very plausable search or link terms. Legacypac (talk) 17:43, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget per BDD. I knew we had an article on the government of Washington DC, but I didn't realize we had anything of substance on the politics. We've got an exact match, so this should go there. Either way, there should be a hatnote. -- Tavix (talk) 13:56, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Politics of Washington does have a link to the local governing of Washington DC so it would be two dabs. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:41, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The article section "Government_of_the_District_of_Columbia#Politics" has a lot of related information there, and arguably it could be it's own separate page (or brought over to its own page and expanded). CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:38, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Government of the District of Columbia#Politics. I can't believe we don't already have a single article on this! --BDD (talk) 19:31, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but hatnote Most people who don't live in the immediate DC area would be looking for information on national politics, but given the large population of the DC Metro area and the fact that most of those people would probably be looking for local politics, it's worth a hatnote. Smartyllama (talk) 15:17, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Tavix argued the same, but I'm skeptical of this. Sure, there's general talk in American politics about "fixing Washington" and the like, but I find it highly unlikely that readers would use a term like "Washington DC politics" over things like "American politics", "US politics", etc. Maybe there's no way to know for sure, but I'd think the more specific search term would mean something. If nothing else, I think it's a good principle not to assume a search term is erroneous unless there isn't a good alternative. --BDD (talk) 15:26, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is nowhere on Wikipedia where someone can get any substantial information on the subject. He's mentioned exactly two places in Wikipedia: 2009 CHA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament and 2011 Atlantic Hockey Tournament, both are game recaps where he scored a goal. -- Tavix (talk) 14:57, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Doesn't meet WP:NHOCKEY. Was created as a redirect in the first place.AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:50, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: per WP:XY. This is one of the most egregious of the several hundred suspect redirects created by an editor subsequently placed under a community ban from creating new redirects (to burnish his page creation count), and follows the pattern of many of them: an obscure NN hockey player from the low-minor leagues redirected to one of the teams for which he played ... in this case, just four games out of his career. A near farcically implausible target, given that he played for eight professional teams in the low- and semi-pro ranks, and was a four-year starter for his university team.

Delete. Very unlikely a user would type a space instead of the apostrophe. UnitedStatesian (talk) 14:54, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Surprisingly this is getting significant use - 87 hits last year is an order of magnitude more than noise level. Thryduulf (talk)
  • Keep per Thryduulf. I can't envision why anyone would use this, but since they definitely are, and since they're clearly planning to go to the current target, there's no reason for deletion. Nyttend (talk) 22:05, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Long-standing redirect created by a page move in 2008. Alas, not only is there no national team for ice hockey in Namibia, there is no ice arena in our beautiful but hot country, and there is thus just nobody playing ice hockey, nothing to play it with, and nowhere to play it. I think this link should be red per WP:ASTONISH. --Pgallert (talk) 08:32, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This was originally a fictional group parodying Up With People mentioned in early seasons of The Simpsons.[2] It was then adopted as the name of a local a cappella group from Northwestern, and was later renamed Purple Haze and redirected to Northwestern.
