Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects

@Slrellison: There is already a Category:Facilities and organizations of science with many sub-categories, and it is within Category:Organizations by subject. All three of the example articles you listed are already within sub-categories of Category:Facilities and organizations of science; specifically, they are within Category:Science organizations by topic. Would that category meet the needs you have in mind? Unician ∇ 07:56, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think it would. It'd be nice if it had a slightly simpler name, but it'll do as is. SLR Ellison (talk) 12:16, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect request: Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir

Target of redirect: Azad Kashmir

Redirect request: Megan Nicole

Target of redirect: Megan Nicole Flores

Reason: The target refers to the full name of a singer quite known on YouTube who has done covers of songs by Taylor Swift, One Direction, Bruno Mars, and Katy Perry, among others. She has also recorded some original material. The redirect request(s) identifies the singer by how she's known to her fans on YouTube and in social networking (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) — her "stage name", so to speak. (Note: In checking "Megan Nicole" on Wikipedia, I've made note that the page had been previously created a number of times, only to be deleted each time because of her lack of notability, or advertising. I don't know if that in itself will affect this redirect request, but please consider this request based not on previous attempts to create a page for her, but on what is presented on her current page.)

This is my second attempt at requesting this redirect. However, I had included in the first request her name in all lower-case letters (which was declined) and I am removing that from this request. Because the name in its proper format (names all starting with a capital letter) was accepted in my first attempt, I felt the need to re-request. My thinking is that the redirect (for "Megan Nicole") should have already been established, but it's not (is still a red link). Does it have anything to do with the existence of the page ("Megan Nicole") which shows that it had been created/deleted multiple times? In any event, thanks for understanding and hoping it's successful this time around.

Source (if applicable): I would like to provide two sources, if that's OK. http://www.megannicolemusic.com/ and http://www.mtv.com/artists/megan-nicole/biography/

Redirect request: power of two choices

Target of redirect: 2-choice hashing

Reason: hash table article has a dangling link to "power of two choices." I googled that.... and found a wikipedia page that explained the matter.

Swiping from its sister categories, the new page should prolly be like the code below (and yes, that's a Greek omega letter used for one key: it's what I found actually used in them pages, must be some convention):

{{Eponymous category}}
{{Cat see also|Japanese writers}}

Redirect request: Special Investigation & Special Investigations (disambiguation) & Special Investigation (disambiguation)

Target of redirect: Special Investigations

Reason: {{R from singular}}

Comment: Special Investigations (disambiguation) is a valid request per WP:HOWTODAB. Special Investigation (disambiguation) should NOT be created. 109.152.207.68 (talk) 01:27, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- It is {{R from singular}} that is the singular form of the full title, thus a viable redirect. -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 04:58, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - No. The ONLY legitimate reason to create a redirect ending in '(disambiguation)' is per WP:SEEALSO. The ONLY legitimate target for a redirect from Special Investigation (disambiguation) would be Special Investigation - PROVIDED that page is a disambiguation page. It should NOT redirect to Special Investigations - there is only one use for such a redirect, and that's what the requested Special Investigations (disambiguation) is for. Special Investigation is not a disambiguation page, this is a request for it to be created as a redirect. If Special Investigation (disambiguation) were to redirect to Special Investigation, it would be a double redirect. 109.152.207.68 (talk) 15:43, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect request: Felix Zolicoffer

This request has been accepted. Please do not modify it.

Target of redirect: Felix Zollicoffer
Reason: "Zollicoffer" just looks wrong, like a spelling error, and "Zolicoffer" looks more normal, so it's a likely typo.

- This redirect is made available to aid searches. Pages that use this link should be updated to link directly to the target without the use of a piped link that hides the correct details.
- This template tags redirects with a subcategory of the Redirects from incorrect names category, so template {{R from incorrect name}} should not be used with this template.

Redirect request: Ozark Raffle aka Redneck Raffle

This request has been declined. Please do not modify it.

Target of redirect: [[chinese raffle]U
Reason: This type of raffle has been used in the Ozarks and the Southern United States for as long as can be remembered. Each raffle item has its own minnow bucket for tickets. A person would place thier tickets in the buckets for the items they want to win. It is unknown as to how and when this was attributed to the 'chinese' but they had nothing to do with it. Also Known as a 'Redneck Raffle' which at times has been somewhat less than desirable.
