There's anWP:XY problem here. There's severalWP:RCAT templates that deal with names, so it doesn't make sense why someone chose one of them to redirect this to. I just fixed the links to it. There were two and they were both rcatted incorrectly (which shows the danger of this redirect). --Tavix(talk)17:26, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion wasretarget toVictorian. Note that there was merge history toVictorian era, so I've first moved the existing title toVictorian era (Great Britain) to preserve that history. --BDD (talk)16:23, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget toVictorian morality: it simply looks more "correct" to me...The Traditionalist (talk)15:53, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - NoWP:PRIMARY.Google shows a mixture of "Victorian era", "Victorian period", "Victorian America", "Victorian Age", "Victorian morality", and that's just the first ten hits, the top two of which are WP, so I'm not even convinced the redir is a term in use. The pages it links to also seem to be misusing the term when it should really be one of the more specific titles.MSJapan (talk)19:31, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Retarget toVictorian (a disambig) per MSJapan's findings (which I also get). I don't think that a separate dab page will add anything, but if others do then I'll go along with that. Redirecting to a dab page will also be a cue for the incoming links to be fixed - aWP:REDLINK would encourage the creation of an article here, which we don't want as the term is ambiguous.Thryduulf (talk)21:40, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Retarget per Thryduulf. ----Patar knight -chat/contributions15:33, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I oppose the reasoning of bothMSJapan andThryduulf and I continue to support my original proposal.--The Traditionalist (talk)16:13, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Retarget per Thryduulf. MSJapan's assessment is correct; this term has been used to describe a number of different things, including the Victorian era, Victorian morality, Victorian aesthetics, etc. I think a DAB page will best resolve any potential confusion among readers. --Notecardforfree (talk)18:52, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Totally unlikely search term. As written, it is overly general in scope multiple ways, and possibly has POV implication. Has never been the location of the article and no inbound links (seems only to be used by creator, and then quickly disputed by other editors?).DMacks (talk)15:26, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
AlsoSaving detroit's DIA and worker pensions, which has same target and issues, but also incorrect capitalization (something doesn't matter for searchers if there were to be any, etc.).DMacks (talk)15:30, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have just moved this article toJajja because it relates to a village and has absolutely nothing to do with theRajput caste/tribe. As such, even if external links do exist, it is a completely misleading redirect.Sitush (talk)05:44, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Although I would personally like to see this redirect (I created) kept, I am not sure on second thought whether or not it should be. The article it redirects to documents the premiership ofMargaret Thatcher who led her country during the 1980s. Since we already have1980s in the United States1980s in the United States, I thought it would be fine to create this redirect as well. SinceTimeline of British history does not specifically document historical events in the same way thatTimeline of United States history does, I believed thatPremiership of Margaret Thatcher was the next best bet. --Neve–selbert20:46, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
