October 2

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on October 2, 2013.

List of Liv and Maddie (TV series) episodes

Article contents before redirect were unattributed copies of a section of Liv and Maddie. Another article List of Liv and Maddie episodes was created earlier, is the proper name for this topic, was also an unattributed copy of the same source and is now currently tagged {{R with possibilities}} and {{R to section}} to the copied source material. The redirect with the disambiguation has no inbound links, is not needed and is not a likely search destination. Bot keeps bypassing the R with possibilities target as well.

Government shutdown

The Internet is not America. Don't other countries have government shutdowns? Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 07:28, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as (now) a disambiguation page. This is a likely search term, and there are several articles that match the title - the right thing to do is list them all. Re your question, I've never heard of a government shutdown before this one, and according to the evidence it seems to be a US thing only - other countries automatically extend the previous year's budget when there's a disagreement (either that, or the government is dismantled), instead of tying the whole governments functioning to it. Also, merge United States federal government shutdown here. Diego (talk) 14:47, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And I hardly think a single shutdown in Minnesota or New Jersey justifies redirecting a clear primary topic to a disambiguation page. Disambiguation can be sorted in a hatnote just as neatly. Keep as redirect. --SchutteGod (talk) 15:04, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, which one is the "clear primary topic"? The 1995 and 1996 Clinton ones? The current crisis? or the general concept? I don't see why any of them could be considered more likely than the others. (Great sources, BTW). Diego (talk) 15:23, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The general concept of course. Why would an article about a single incident be a primary topic, especially when it clearly falls under the umbrella of government shutdown in the United States? --SchutteGod (talk) 16:18, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Because, being a recent and notorious event, people may be interested in learning details about it, instead of (or in addition to) the general concept? Note that I didn't say that the current incident should be primary; rather, that both the incident and the general concept are equaly likely, thus making neither of them primary, thus requiring disambiguation. Diego (talk) 16:29, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You can always hatnote links to current events (i.e., at the top of Government shutdowns in the US: For the recent federal government shutdown, see [ARTICLE NAME]), except I would note that the current shutdown is not going to be in the news forever...in a few weeks it won't matter. --SchutteGod 76.171.231.104 (talk) 20:15, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mongolism

This is an obsolete term for Down Syndrome rarely used anymore, not to mention being racially offensive. Suggest a retarget to Mongoloid or Pan-Mongolism. Ego White Tray (talk) 03:49, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
