This redirect was created when the original page was renamed, and it seems to me that keeping this title in Wikipedia serves very little purpose. Here's why:

  • "Vojna krajina" already means "Military Frontier" in Croatian, so the parenthetical description "(military zone)" adds very little extra information. There already is a redirect Vojna krajina pointing to the general article about several military frontier zones set up by the Habsburg Monarchy in its largely Croat and Serb- populated borderlands with the Ottoman Empire. "Vojna Krajina(Military Zone)" redirects to one of these, Croatian Military Frontier, and the parenthetical description is not in any way related to this particular zone.
  • Even if the title were useful, it has three independent typos, and it is highly unlikely that a person would make all three at the same time. The correct text would be "Vojna krajina (military zone)". The typos are:
    1. capitalizing all words in "Vojna krajina", thus following to English rather than Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian orthography in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian-language text;
    2. leaving no space before the opening paretheses;
    3. capitalizing "military zone" even though it is not a proper name but a description.

I propose to delete this redirect. – Miranche T C 22:08, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ABS-CBN Network[edit]

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 and merge history. DrKiernan (talk) 20:00, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ABS-CBN Network is a network, not a corporation, so it should be redirected to ABS-CBN, which contains the information about the network. Kiddie Techie (talk) 01:04, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget per nom. ABS-CBN is the network while ABS-CBN corporation is its the mother company. --Lenticel (talk) 01:47, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to ABS-CBN and history merge to fix the cut'n'paste move of 28 October 2011. Bridgeplayer (talk) 21:19, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget as per nomination. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 15:39, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
