This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on September 16, 2008

T Bootis → Tau Boötis

T Boötis and Tau Boötis represent two different stars: this redirect is therefore incorrect. Icalanise (talk) 17:09, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. As the nom explains, it's wrong. Spacepotato (talk) 18:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
• Delete factually wrong and misleading 70.51.8.158 (talk) 04:47, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

E Eridani → Epsilon Eridani

e Eridani and Epsilon Eridani are two different stars. Furthermore, e Eridani should be written with a lowercase e rather than uppercase E. It may be best to redirect this to 82 Eridani, but this would still result in an incorrect designation being displayed as the "redirected from" string. Icalanise (talk) 14:27, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

• There is no E Eridani, so retarget to 82 Eridani (= e Eridani.) It's unfortunate that the designation will be displayed incorrectly in the redirect notice, but there's no easy way around this. Spacepotato (talk) 23:50, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

T Ceti → Tau Ceti

T Ceti and Tau Ceti are two entirely different stars, so this redirect is misleading. Icalanise (talk) 14:20, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Incorrect redirect. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 15:09, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. As the nom explains, it's wrong. Spacepotato (talk) 18:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

T Cet → Tau Ceti

T Ceti and Tau Ceti are two entirely different stars, so this redirect is misleading. Icalanise (talk) 14:20, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Incorrect redirect. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 15:09, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. As the nom explains, it's wrong. Spacepotato (talk) 18:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

M Cassiopeiae → Mu Cassiopeiae

M Cassiopeiae does not mean the same thing as Mu Cassiopeiae: the Latin and Greek letter Bayer designations are not equivalent. Including this redirect is therefore misleading. Icalanise (talk) 14:12, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom. Spacepotato (talk) 18:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

U And → Upsilon Andromedae

U Andromedae and Upsilon Andromedae are two completely different stars, so this redirect is misleading. Icalanise (talk) 14:08, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Incorrect redirect. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 15:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. As the nom explains, it's wrong. Spacepotato (talk) 18:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as being misleading. --Pie is good ^{(Apple is the best)} 21:47, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

I have created a stub article at Talk:U Andromedae/Temp - it might be better to set up U Andromedae as a stub and redirect U And to U Andromedae - the U Andromedae redirect has been deleted once before for similar reasons, so putting a stub there might prevent another round of incorrect redirection.

U Andromedae → Upsilon Andromedae

U Andromedae and Upsilon Andromedae are two completely different stars, so this redirect is misleading. Icalanise (talk) 14:06, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Incorrect redirect. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 15:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. As the nom explains, it's wrong. Spacepotato (talk) 18:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
• On second thoughts, it looks like this redirect was previously deleted for exactly the same reason. Might be worth creating a stub for U Andromedae and redirecting U And to point to it. Icalanise (talk) 11:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I have created a temporary stub article about U Andromedae at Talk:U Andromedae/Temp. Icalanise (talk) 11:23, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
