• Comment – I'm assuming that a Britophile is usually used to mean an American who loves British music from the British Invasion. A redirect obviously does not have to be analternative term for its target; it only has to reasonably related.McLerristarr | Mclay114:31, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've never heard that usage. I'd also agree with pointing it to Anglophile.DCT•C02:54, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget toAnglophile. A quick search ofGoogleBooks indicates that the term is used broadly for love of Britain and all things British, not just for musicians of the "British Invasion." Redirects from the general to the particular are inherently confusing. AlthoughEnglish is actually more specific thanBritish, it is a much better fit than is a group of musicians. ~Ningauble (talk)18:21, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
