Peng Lai → Taiwan

The result of the discussion was Re-targeted to Penglai which Peng Lai (disambiguation) has already been merged into. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:46, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't see any evidence that "Peng Lai" is a name for Taiwan, other than that the article Peng Lai (martial art) claims it. In any case, it's not worth disfiguring the article Taiwan with yet another hatnote unless the name is mentioned in the article. Redirect/move to Peng Lai (martial art) or delete. Same for Pong Lai. Kusma (talk) 06:15, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I changed this to a rd because the martial art was clearly not notable. I accepted the claim that it was another name for Taiwan following a cursory gsearch that made it seem plausible (e.g. [1], [2]). Looking in more detail, it seems to have been a mythical island and should probably rd to Mount Penglai. Note also Peng Lai (disambiguation). JJL (talk) 16:14, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

• retarget to Peng Lai (disambiguation) as a user could want any of the uses listed. PaulJones (talk) 18:45, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
• Retarget to Peng Lai (disambiguation). tempodivalse [☎] 22:26, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
• Retarget to Penglai, which contains information on why Taiwan is so called. 76.66.193.69 (talk) 04:35, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
  • I agree with Penglai as a reasonable target, and a merging of the disambiguation pages. The reason why ja:蓬莱 should mean Taiwan isn't clear to me; that article just has one line "台湾の別名", which my poor Japanese skills (I can't read Japanese, only Chinese) parse as "other name for Taiwan", still without explanation. I guess somebody decided that Taiwan was the mythical Mount Penglai? Kusma (talk) 06:38, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Li Na (diver) (disambiguation) → Li Na (diver)

The result of the discussion was speedily deleted: bot-created redirect, target not a disambiguation page. Kusma (talk) 08:28, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Li Na (fencer) (disambiguation) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

More double-disambiguation redirects. No one would search for both diver/fencer and disambiguation. Tavix :  Chat  02:51, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Passengers of Qantas Flight 30 → Qantas Flight 30

The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:47, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Oliver Furniss (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

These redirects puzzle me. These people were passengers of a airflight incident in which there were no injuries, no deaths, and none of these passengers did anything extraordinary. They are not mentioned in the main article, so there is no point redirecting there. Tavix :  Chat  02:36, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

• Delete. There's nothing we could ever say about these people that justifies having any page title named after them. — Gavia immer (talk) 18:34, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
• Delete per others. tempodivalse [☎] 22:26, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Steve Smith (college football) → Steve Smith (New York Giants)

The result of the discussion was Kept. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:48, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Nomination of an old redirect. Steve Smith doesn't play college football anymore, so the redirect is non-applicable. Tavix :  Chat  02:29, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

• Keep, harmless and has incoming links (and will have incoming links from old page versions; no need to break these). Kusma (talk) 08:29, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
• keep assuming that the college football guy is the same person as the New York Giants guy. PaulJones (talk) 18:47, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
