October 3[edit]

T.U.S.A. → United States[edit]

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]

It's so fake → United States[edit]

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]

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

Caparisoned elephants → Elephants of Kerala[edit]

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

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

Procession of caparisoned elephants → Elephants of Kerala[edit]

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

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

The processions of richly caparisoned elephants → Elephants of Kerala[edit]

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]

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

Richly caparisoned elephant → Elephants of Kerala[edit]

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[edit]

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)[edit]

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[edit]

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:
