October 26
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on October 26, 2014.
Caitlin snow
- Caitlin snow → Killer Frost (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]
- Caitlin Snow → Killer Frost (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]
Both are redirects to a specific version of a comic book character. The first is essentially redundant as typing in the name using any capitalization version yields the same result. It also does not currently point directly from use in an article, only from and ANI thread and copy of that thread. This redirect is unneeded and should be deleted. The second is only linked to various Ironman competition articles which list "Caitlin Snow" as a competitor. The redirect as it currently stands results in an incorrect linkage of subjects. Given the ambiguity over which Caitlin Snow a reader could be looking for, this redirect should be moved to either Caitlin Snow (Comics) (preferred dabbing based on the Comics WikiProject) or Caitlin Snow (Character) (the comic book character has been adapted for use in a television series) and Caitlin Snow reserved for a possible dab page. This would also imply that the links in the 2009-2014 Ironman World Championship and 2010-2014 Ironman 70.3 World Championship be changed to pont to Caitlin Snow (Athlete). - J Greb (talk) 14:01, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
Strange Tales (pulp magazines)
- Strange Tales (pulp magazines) → Strange Tales (pulp magazine) (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]
This redirect results from a good faith move which has now been reversed. There are not two pulp magazines with this title; there's a pulp and a digest, and they now each have their own article. This is not something that could be plausibly entered as a search. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:06, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- keep or disambiguate. That there was a good faith move to this title indicates that this is something that could be plausibly entered as a search. I am unfamiliar with the subject area and wouldn't know the difference between a pulp magazine and a digest. I wouldn't know whether they were covered in one article or two. The only question is whether someone searching this title will be better served by a dab page or by being taken to the article about the singular magazine and following a hatnote or link in the lead to the other if that is what they are wanting. I'm leaning towards the latter, but I'm open to arguments to the contrary. Thryduulf (talk) 13:41, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
H de Kantzow
- H de Kantzow → Cathay Pacific (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]
No idea what this is supposed to mean, certainly not related to the target - TheChampionMan1234 08:59, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- If you had taken 1 minute WP:BEFORE nominating you would understand exactly what this is about and how it is related to the target. "Sydney H. de Kantzow", AKA Sydney de Kantzow was the founder of Cathay Pacific. This is a surprisingly well used redirect so retarget to the biography. Thryduulf (talk) 10:55, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
United States of Venezuela
- United States of Venezuela → Venezuela (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]
Implausibe search term, there are also many such redirects here - TheChampionMan1234 08:53, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- retarget. According to our articles, the term was used (interchangeably with others) for both the First Republic of Venezuela and the Second Republic of Venezuela. It gets only a passing mention in the article about the First Republic, with which it is perhaps more associated, and a slightly more prominent mention in the article about the second republic. It is not mentioned in the broader History of Venezuela article, which deals with both of these republics, so I'm not sure what the best target is. I'll ping the WikiProject to get their thoughts.

Some indian facts
- Some indian facts → India (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]
Implausible search term and misleading taregt. - TheChampionMan1234 08:52, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- Retarget to Outline of India which contains facts about India. I wouldn't have thought that this was a useful search term, but the stats show that that it is actually used by around 15 people a month. Thryduulf (talk) 10:35, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
Fact sheet on India
- Fact sheet on India → India (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]
Implausible search term and misleading target - TheChampionMan1234 08:51, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- Retarget to Outline of India which is a page of facts about India. Thryduulf (talk) 10:33, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
