HEAT

• HEAT → High-explosive anti-tank warhead (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Redirect to Heat (disambiguation). Just what I think. Just leave the above sample unedited, I don't want to get edit tagged. The Ultimate New England Patriots Guy (talk) 01:58, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure what "edit tagged" means, but there's no reason to obfuscate links. Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:09, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Eagles

• Eagles → Eagle (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Not everyone typing in Eagles wants to see an eagle, they probably mean the band or the Philadelphia Eagles. The Ultimate New England Patriots Guy (talk) 01:58, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Bengals

• Bengals → Bengal (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Red wings

• Red wings → Redwing (disambiguation) (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ]
