• East Central Louisiana → Vidalia, Louisiana  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

One town does not equal East Central Louisiana. There are a whole lot of towns that meet that description. A better target is recommended, but I don't know what that would be. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:42, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Delete until it is described in a standalone article or redirected to an article in Category:Regions of Louisiana.– Gilliam (talk) 06:56, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Delete. I guess Welsh, Louisiana is just about possible, but a hell of a stretch. And there's not much there anyway... 22:18, 21 March 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.165.254.60 (talk) Si Trew (talk) 22:21, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Alternate title

The result of the discussion was Retarget as R from alt caps to Alternative title. If I remember correctly, "Randy Scouse Git" was a phrase used by the chief chracter of Johnny Speight's comedy Till Death Us Do Part, used by the protagonist Alf Garnett, played by Warren Mitchell, but that is a hell of a stretch. The Monkees apparently used it on a lyric in 1967, but how that went there I don't know, because I don't think they'd ever been in the UK at that time and would not have heard the phrase, I don't think Speight had even invented it. The Alt Title is far more obvious and useful.(non-admin closure) Si Trew (talk) 08:50, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Completely unexpected. Rather, one would expect the redirect "Alternate title" (in the lowercase) to point to some article containing content about the use of alternate titles for creative works (for example "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" being released as "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in certain markets). bd2412 T 04:37, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

• Retarget to Alternative title, basically the same word. Hatnote to the Monkees song. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:47, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
• Retarget per Oiyarbepsy ; though the alternative article is a rather poor choice. Possibly retarget to name instead and move "alternative title" off to "alternative title (film)" and also redirect that to name. -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 21:35, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
• Retarget, that makes sense as {{R from alternative capitalization}}. 62.165.254.60 (talk) 22:20, 21 March 2015 (UTC) Si Trew (talk) 22:21, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
