Atlant Moscow

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 keep both. — ξ^xplicit 18:30, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

• Atlant Moscow → Atlant Moscow Oblast (links to redirect • history • stats)
• HC Atlant Moscow → Atlant Moscow Oblast (links to redirect • history • stats) 

These redirects are not correct because Mytishchi is a satellite town of Moscow, not a part of Moscow, so I offer to delete them. Аурелиано Буэндиа (talk) 19:36, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

• Keep both - the target for both these redirects is Atlant Moscow Oblast. If the name of the team is incorrect then that is a matter for the target's talk page, not here. Bridgeplayer (talk) 00:07, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

• I don't understand you: the team name is Atlant Moscow Oblast, it is based in Mytischi in Moscow Oblast, not in Moscow. Аурелиано Буэндиа (talk) 13:10, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

• Sorry, I misunderstood your point. However, these are still fine. Redirects are simply navigation aids and both these look foreseeable search terms. Being strictly accurate is not a requirement for a redirect; many redirects are approximations for their subject. The acid test is: will the redirect take the reader to the page they want? In this case, the answer is yes. Bridgeplayer (talk) 14:32, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

• These redirects report false (incorrect, not inaccurate) information, so I think they are inadmissible. Аурелиано Буэндиа (talk) 20:07, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

• Sorry, they don't report anything, they are simply navigation aids. See also WP:RNEUTRAL. Bridgeplayer (talk) 21:25, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

• Comment - I have fixed the nominations. Bridgeplayer (talk) 16:38, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
• Reluctant keep - they're misnomers, but very plausible misnomers. Being misleading isn't in itself a sufficient reason to delete. However, quite a lot of hockey-related pages use these erroneous names - surely many more than would if these were redlinks instead - which is very annoying.

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:29, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

• London 1950 → London International Stamp Exhibition 1950 (links to redirect • history • stats) 

There were other things in London 1950 than just the Stamp Exhibition. Derild4921☼ 14:16, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Agree. That should not be a redirect. Nolelover 15:44, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

• Disambiguate - perhaps surprisingly there are relatively few events notable enough to have a page, perhaps six or so. Consequently, a disambiguation page is entirely practical. I'll produce a model page for consideration when I come back, tonight. Bridgeplayer (talk) 16:01, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

• Comment - there now. Bridgeplayer (talk) 01:06, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

• Disambiguate per Bridgeplayer. Dlohcierekim 23:44, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
