• Cheif Burgess → Mayor  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I'm not sure what this redirect is meant to identify. Besides the word "chief" being misspelled as "cheif", the term is not mentioned in its target article Mayor. Also, Chief Burgess and Chief burgess do not exist. Steel1943 (talk) 23:15, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• FV 4021 Chieftain → Chieftain (tank)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Since the number in the title is wrong (should be 4201, not 4021), this redirect is unlikely to be searched and borderline misleading if the "FV 4021" designation means something else. Steel1943 (talk) 22:38, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear why this redirects to its target. The redirect is not mentioned in the target article, not even as a version of the subject's name in its related language. Steel1943 (talk) 22:30, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• I suspect it's a transliteration from the Hebrew. Think of the "ch" as this, not this. - Eureka Lott 23:03, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as a plausible spelling based on the pronunciation. Debresser (talk) 16:27, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. See the intro to Hanukkah, which says in part that the name is also romanized as Chanukah or Ḥanukah, and also the intro to our article on the Hebrew letter ח, the first letter of the word normally transliterated "Haifa". The vowels are an artifact of Hebrew's use of an abjad instead of an alphabet per se, together with the importance of three-consonant roots (within which the vowels can easily change) in Hebrew and other Semitic languages.

• Goog → Google  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Unlikely and unnotable search term. Its existence makes me believe that it was created solely since it is the title that is lined when linking "Goog|e" (vertical bar) since the link appears as e: it links Goog but appears as "e". Steel1943 (talk) 19:47, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• The redirect makes sense as GOOG is a stock exchange ticker symbols for Google. GOOG-411 and egg are unlikely targets (the latter is apparently the meaning of the Australian slang word "goog". – Uanfala (talk) 21:28, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. This was a difficult decision, but since the issue has been discussed multiple times before and this one has been relisted, I believe a decision needed to have been made. There's disagreement about where this could be retargeted, and Infidel#Islamic seems to mostly be the Kafir article in summary style. And there are good arguments for deletion, supported by the previous, consensus-backed deletion of the plural variants. Perhaps the matter is not closed forever, but I would encourage anyone to give it a good think before reopening it. --BDD (talk) 20:06, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Non-Muslim → Muslim  (talk · links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

An RFD discussion in July 2015 resulted in no consensus (and the target at that time was Kafir). The plural versions, Non-Muslims and Non-muslims were deleted in January 2016, but this one wasn't nominated for some reason. For these reasons, I think it's best to have a fresh discussion on the use of this term. -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:21, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or delete. I successfully nominated the plural versions because they redirected to a derogatory term and didn't nominate this one by oversight. Afterwards I retargeted this one to the antonym as a quicker option. I don't see a problem with the current redirect, but I'm not opposed to deleting it either. Eperoton (talk) 00:14, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Commment. We don't have Non-Christian, Non-Hindu or Non-Buddhist. We do have Non-Jewish, though that redirects to Gentile. So it's not clear-cut to me whether we should have the antonym; I can see the case for "Non-Jewish" since it doesn't redirect to the perhaps more-obvious Jews or Judaism. This has quite some history including being retargeted to Kafir and Islamic studies by author (non-Muslim or academic); this edit suggests it was listed at RfD on 22 June 2015, but actually it was then moved by User:Tavix to 23 June (without updating the RfD notice at the page) and then relisted on 30 June by User:Deryck Chan. But anyway, the history is preserved even if we delete it, so that's no reason to refrain from doing so. Si Trew (talk) 03:01, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete It's like redirect anti-communism to communism. We do have Anti-Islam and Infidel#Islamic, so maybe a retarget is at least ought to be considered, but I have no strong opinion on that option. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 06:23, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I would've opted for "keep" if the target was kafir given the past discussions and Non-Jewish → Gentile. But the fact that User:Eperoton retargeted it to Muslim on their own initiative with the comment Inappropriate redirect - Kafir is used as a pejorative term would suggest that we simply don't have a good target.

• Retarget to Infidel#Islamic, which discusses non-Muslims. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:44, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget per User:AngusWOOF. I had thought of that but rejected it, thinking perhaps that was out of the frying pan, into the fire. But it does discuss it quite well, there, including specifically the usage "non-Muslim" although that is not sourced (but then, we're not WP:NOTDIC for sourcing every single word we use). On balance, retarget it. Si Trew (talk) 16:06, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That section also mentions kafir and the other variants. So if people need a more technical term for non-Muslim, they have a place to look there. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:15, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yup. Not to be confused with a keffir, of course... we don't seem to have that, but in Seth Efricen English that is used by whites to mean non-whites: not specifically (but largely) blacks. Or at least was by the Seth Efrican whites I knew in England, who were ultimately of Dutch origin. Not sure how spelt in South African English or British English, I've only ever heard it, never seen it spelt. Kaffir, actually, is a DAB that informs me: listing both Kafir (first) and Kaffir (racial term) among others, so perhaps there is still some untangling to do here... but I am not sure what or how. Si Trew (talk) 19:24, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I feel like what we have now isn't right at all. I'd rather that we just get rid of the redirect. I suppose, though, that I wouldn't object to going to Infidel#Islamic if the consensus viewpoint leans that way. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 13:22, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Hot oil manicure → Manicure  (talk · links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I'm in the process of creating a disambiguation page at hot oil and I came across this redirect, and I have no idea what to do with it. At first, I thought "hot oil manicure" was what was being described at Manicure#Paraffin wax treatments, but after doing research, I'm starting to doubt that. I've come across a couple step-by-step guides (eg: [1] and [2]) and they don't mention wax. That being said, I believe we have a case where the target article doesn't mention this concept. (A semi-related issue: when I Google "hot oil", the primary result seems to be a "hot oil hair treatment" and I can't find any where on Wikipedia that describes that.) -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:47, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Tavix: I should have thought that if there is no obvious place for it to go then the default should be delete. If an intelligent but ignorant administrator cannot make head or tail of it, how can an intelligent but ignorant reader do better? Si Trew (talk) 19:45, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

off topic discussion moved to the talk page. -- Tavix ^(talk) 03:12, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - as far as I can tell, a hot oil manicure is just any old manicure in which oil is used as a soak rather than water, so the redirect is correct enough. A paraffin wax manicure is one in which wax is used in place of water or oil, but a wax manicure is not an oil manicure. I'm not sure why there's a subsection on one and not the other, but it is how it is. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 22:35, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The original page said, "A specific type of manicure that cleans and neatens the cuticles and softens them with oil. It is acceptable for males." If that information isn't in the target article currently, then it does no good as a search term. Plus it's had about 50 page views over the last year and a half, so it gets little use anyway. — Gorthian (talk) 23:45, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep; I'm changing my opinion because I didn't check out the target very thoroughly. I found that there's been a section for years, removed last month without any reason, and I've restored the section (though unsourced). So the redirect is fine. — Gorthian (talk) 00:35, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Maybe refine target to Cancellation (insurance)#Cancellation methods? That section discusses cancellation methods that are apparently called "short Period Rate (old short rate)" and "short Period Rate (90% pro rata)." However, if "short rate cancellation" refers to forms of cancellation other than those used in insurance plans, then I think we should delete per WP:XY. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:50, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as Patar shows (unlike the above objectors who skimped on basic research) there is notable use of the phrase. We should only discuss the possible retargeting. The absence of a phrase on a page a redirect points to isn't evidence the redirect doesn't belong. It may be it was present and a vandal removed the source. I've seen this done before.

See my request for the talk page's undeletion and some further discussion.

  • And yes, such a deletion has happened before. Graham87 09:55, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • So you created it so that it would not be deleted? What criterion of any XfD does that fall under, user:Graham87, "creation to avoid deletion"? That sounds rather a perverse thing to do.

      • @SimonTrew: I'm not sure what there is to clarify, but I'll try again. the page Wikipedia talk:Clarity in Policy Discussion was created at that title, in the days before orphaned talk pages were seen as much of a problem. It was deleted in September 2005 then restored upon [my request, because I found a link to it at Wikipedia talk:Blocking policy/Archive 1. It was then moved to a subpage of the blocking policy, again at my request, so it wouldn't be orphaned. However I kept the redirect at the talk page around in order not to break old links, but it was also later deleted as orphaned. I undeleted it, and created a redirect from the title Wikipedia:Clarity in Policy Discussion, to make sure that page would never be deleted again.
      • Also, re your assertion about historical links, the links are not historical – there are two active links from 2004 discussions to the talk page. And deleting a page does delete its history, which could theoretically become inaccessible even to admins at any time, but that is not a concern in this case. Graham87 01:45, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, User:Graham87, I know what you mean, but Wikipedia kinda changes its own history every day, in a very Minitrue kind of way. Whenever we change a link, we disrupt the history of the page on what it used to link to, whenever we change a target, we change what it would have looked like at the time that link was created, and so on. The idea that we have a full history is really rather a pretence, in the absence of my proposed WikiWikiWayback machine, that would give you not just a historical version of the page, but links also to the pages as they were at the time for the version of the page you're looking at, recursively. I don't think this would add much cost to the software to do this, because it could look up the history of the links you clicked through on demand (by munging the link to e.g. MyArticleName#Section to be Special:WikiWikiWayback/MyArticleName#Section?before=1999 December 31 or whatever) and take the hit for looking through the history when you clicked through it. That would then give you a much more coherent idea of what a page looked like at that time, including what it linked to. You're right, it wouldn't deal well with deleted links (unless it had special privileges to trawl the history of them). So my stance really is as a non-admin editor, what is it that I can't see that an admin can? I thought that an admin could see everything, even seeing through "deletes" on pages to have the history before they were deleted. If that's not the case, my argument falls a little, but it's only a minor injury. I still think the WikiWikiWayback would be a good thing to have and can see a way of implementing it even client-side (like stats.grok.se does, for example) but it would be quicker to do it server-side.

@SimonTrew: Admins can see deleted edits of pages, yes. They can see everything besides suppressed edits and edits that were deleted a long time ago. Your WikiWikiWayback idea would stress the servers out quite a lot for reasons that are far beyond the scope of this discussion; for a start, the [[#ifexist function is stressful enough for *current* revisions, and the database tables simply don't have historical data in an easily accessible manner ... and there's the matter of skins. Graham87 11:37, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, or any transclusion... if transcluding a template, wich version should it get? Which version of the Main page should it get? i.e. basically dows one recurse just shallow or deep? But I think one can just do it shallow by repointing the links on the surface page, so do it on click-through, not render the whole deep tree at that point in history. Patently it is possible, and could be useful. Maybe I write one to do it client-side via the API, then. Never done that before but I think I could manage it... presumably this would not stress the servers too much because the would choke it (load balance) if necessary? I had assumed that doing it via the API would put more load on, that the data were easily accessible server-side, but if that's not the case perhaps it wopuld be better to do it client-side.

• Soft redirect and maybe mark as historical. It seems that the purpose of this bluelink is to preserve links to Wikipedia talk:Clarity in Policy Discussion. Soft redirecting will allow the page history and links to be preserved without creating an unnecessary XNR. Deryck C. 16:29, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. There isn't a strong consensus on any particular outcome, but disambiguation seems the most plausible given the comments made below - significant hit-rate; close relationship between the two institutions; the institutions are occasionally referred to collectively this way; but neither constituent institution is in the status of primary target over the other.

• Guinea National Library and Archives → National Archives of Guinea  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I've had it moved to National Archives of Guinea, as National Library of Guinea already existed. There is no primary redirect target. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:27, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - A redirect seems of dubious usefulness as it seems unlikely that many if anyone would search for this combined term. Preserving links is a non-issue since only one article currently links. Neither individual article seems to be a clear winner for a redirect, and the current target seems chosen more or less at random. TimothyJosephWood 14:02, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Question The usage here indicates that these two organizations are linked in some way. Perhaps the two articles could be merged under this title if this is the case? ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 15:18, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • These are two separate entities, headed by two different people AFAIK. The Guinea entry in World Encyclopedia of Library and Information Services doesn't even mention the archives, while the article "Archival and Research Resources in Conakry, Guinea" discusses the library and archives separately. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:55, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • This citation is from 2014 though. Everything I found early seem to show that the two are seperate 1998 book, 2007 book, 2009 research guide. But as the research guide makes clear, the entire archival system is relatively disorganized, so it may have merged in the meantime. I have emailed the author of the 2014 book to see if he can provide any insight. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 19:02, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. This title has been around since early 2011, and it's linked from lots of places; here's one such page, which I found with two minutes of searching. Don't create linkrot unless it's absolutely necessary. Nyttend (talk) 17:03, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your example is a bad one. Archives and libraries have their own separate lists. There aren't any current mainspace links to this title. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:55, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Whether or not it's the right list for including such a link is totally irrelevant to the fact that it does include this link; you're doing your best to create linkrot, regardless of the fact that pages still accessible online are linking to this title. Nyttend (talk) 04:39, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and make it a disambiguation page. It's not clear which would be the primary redirect target and deleting it would break links in current articles and old diffs. Yes, it may violate WP:TWODABS by only linking to two articles, but hey, WP:IAR, right? clpo13_(talk) 17:21, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete This is a true WP:XY situation, so I recommend deletion unless we can find a sensible place that discusses both the library and archives. I don't see any such place. Patar knight's query would merit some exploration, though. Compare to Library and Archives Canada, where the two institutions were merged. But I'm not finding any official website for either Guinean institution, and this is the only thing I could find in VIAF. --BDD (talk) 17:48, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment There's an office for "Library and Archives" which encompasses both the National Library (Service of Papua New Guinea) [3] and the National Archives (and Public Records Services). [4] there's also the Guinea National Library and Archives Act. [5] Should the article cover that office? Otherwise, I agree it's an XY. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:25, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• This is about Guinea, not Papua New Guinea. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:02, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, even more confusing. Still an XY situation as there's a Guinea Library and Guinea Archives. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:55, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge the two articles or delete the redirect. We've got an WP:XY problem here, and both of those solutions would fix it. If they are related in some way (I did some searching, but couldn't verify it either way), I'd prefer merging, if not, deletion. -- Tavix ^(talk) 19:30, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Disambiguate for now, given it gets two page hits a day. Deleting would create linkrot and harm readers. If they are two separate institutions (the professor I emailed is AFK until the 28th), the DAB page can be turned into a page on library and archives in Guinea, perhaps using the research guide I posted above. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 16:11, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: The library ?is? located in the Museum complex, and for some period it appears that the Archives were colocated. At one point, it seems that Dr Sidiki Kodeki-Keita was director of both organisations. A redirect to a section of a higher level article which lists the two as institutions would be the best option but I can't find a current suitable target. If kept then WP:TWODABS with no primary isn't IAR. Merging does not seem a good option. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 07:03, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• ئیسلام → Islam  (talk · links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

• Weak delete.We already have الإسلام} and إسلام as ((R from other language|ar)), to which undoubtedly there is affinity. I'm not sure this spelling is OK, though: Gtrans detects this as Persian but can be persuaded that it's Arabic, but doesn't translate it exactly as "Islam" but "Isalam" or "Yysalam". It's not at the target and not rcatted. A Gsearch shows widespread use, I'm just wondering if it's OK for English Wikipedia. Si Trew (talk) Si Trew (talk) 14:52, 16 November 2016 (UTC)→[reply]

• Keep. Wiktionary says that it's a Sorani translation of the word Islam ("religion"), and that Sorani is the "Kurdish dialect spoken by the majority of Kurds in Iran and Iraq." — Gorthian (talk) 18:12, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I guess it has more than enough affinity to be keep. (withdrawn), even without being at the target. Will rcat as ((R from other language)). SiTrew as IP 84.3.187.196 (talk) 16:43, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. It makes sense to have redirects for the name of a religion in the religion's sacred language (Classical Arabic), or possibly in a handful of "big" literary languages (on the assumption that the term in that particular language would have seen some use in English-language texts that have to do with the culture associated with that language). However, I don't think it makes sense to have redirects for the hundreds of languages that are spoken by Muslim communities across the world. – Uanfala (talk) 21:45, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete per Uanfala, there are many languages that Muslim communities speak, and we shouldn't have redirects for all of them. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 03:38, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: The argument that "we don't need redirects for every language spoken by Muslims" really doesn't hold water; we aren't creating redirects here, but discussing whether to delete or change redirects that are already created. If a redirect has been created for a target in a language that has some plausible affinity for the target, it should be kept per WP:RFD#K5. — Gorthian (talk) 00:58, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, I guess it comes down to how we understand "affinity". I can see some between this redirect and an article like Islam in Kurdistan, but I don't really see enough of it here. K5 says that if someone says they find a redirect useful, then they do find that redirect useful. I agree with that, but then almost every single one of the redirects we discuss and routinely have deleted here were created by someone who found them useful. I can't really imagine a reader being served by this obscure redirect. Even the two Arabic redirects collectively receive only three views a day [8]. – Uanfala (talk) 15:41, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Barbies#Controversy and evaluation. There isn't very strong consensus for this, but clearly no desire for the status quo. --BDD (talk) 22:36, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Black Barbies → Nicki Minaj  (talk · links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Black Barbies is too generic of an article title when you consider that Barbie is a registered trademark and black Barbies exist. If the song becomes notable enough to require a page, it should be titled more along the lines of "Black Barbies (Nicki Minaj song)" Kellymoat (talk) 23:48, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, maybe we can do a redirect for "Black Barbies (Nicki Minaj song)" as well. Love on the Brain (talk) 00:53, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Barbies#Controversy and evaluation, where "Black Barbie" is mentioned. I think that is the primary topic until/unless the song becomes notable and we cover it. Black Barbie should probably be created as well if this is retained.— Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 07:54, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or possibly dabify/hatnote to create redlink for possible single. [9] or Retarget to Black Beatles which is the song that Minaj is basing it on. There is also "Black Barbie" which is a single and EP by Jahcoozi. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:37, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Black Beatles, considering Black Barbies is a remix for that song. Regarding it being too vague, I don't agree; lots of song names claim dominance over the names themselves. Є𐌔ⲘО𐌔𐍄 ^{𐍄𐌀ℓК} 13:23, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• The first lady of the world → Isabella d'Este  (talk · links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

See Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2016_November_15#First_Lady_of_the_World. I am not sure that the addition of "The" means that this should go to a different target from First Lady of the World. But I really don't know what we should do with it. We don't have The First Lady of the World capped like that, so it's just that the search engine will automatically take you to Isabella if you type it that way, because it is case-insensitive.

• Hatcher Pass, Alaska → Hatcher Pass  (talk · links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect's title follows the naming convention for populated places. It appears that it was created because Jim Colver gives his residence as "Hatcher Pass, Alaska". To the best of my knowledge, Hatcher Pass itself contains little or no full-time resident population at present, as the road over the pass is not maintained in winter (see here). Most folks, including Colver, who claim to live in "Hatcher Pass, Alaska" live in the Fishhook census-designated place, which extends north to include the pass. However, those people actually live mostly around Fishhook Junction and Edgerton Parks Road several miles to the south, which is different from the pass (CDP map). I would think a retargeting and hatnotes would solve this, but it may not be so obvious to others. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 04:08, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My preference would be to retarget the redirect to the appropriate page, if it's indeed Fishhook, Alaska, rather than to delete it outright, just to minimize any potential confusion from people who come here and look up "Hatcher Pass, Alaska". -Kudzu1 (talk) 06:23, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's a good idea, because "Hatcher Pass, Alaska" is really just a ((R from long name)) (and ((R from unnecessary disambiguation)) and we shouldn't point it elsewhere, which would suggest that Hatcher Pass is about some place that is not in Alaska. I think the best thing would be just to add explanatory content to the article along the lines RadioKAOS has written above. Perhaps a hatnote would serve, but we maybe can't make the explanation consise enough for that. Si Trew (talk) 07:46, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, neither rcat is correct in this case, because there are multiple uses of "Hatcher Pass" referring to things which are closely, but not precisely, related. "Hatcher Pass" and the article of that name refers to a mountain pass. "Hatcher Pass, Alaska" ostensibly refers to a populated place several miles away, as mentioned in the first sentence of the above rationale, which is really more a colloquialism than an actual recognized community. I commented at a current AFD where the keep votes policy-shopped WP:GEOLAND and specifically the reference to "populated, legally recognized places", which enables a glut of geostubs sourced solely to GNIS to proliferate. The only GNIS entry for "Hatcher Pass" is about the pass, whereas entries for "Fishhook" exist for both the CDP and Fishhook Junction, although the latter refers to a different road junction based on an outdated historical definition, when Palmer and not Wasilla was the activity and population center of the Mat-Su Valley. There is also a long-proposed Hatcher Pass ski area, likewise not located at the pass itself but a lot closer to the vicinity of the road junctions mentioned towards the end of the above rationale.

• Keep - hatnote and/or in-article explanation are the correect way to go per User:Si Trew. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 16:55, 16 November 2016 (UTC).[reply]
  

• Keep per Si Trew. ", State" names are not just used for populated places. And a person could claim to be from somewhere besides a specific populated place, e.g., the Wasatch Front or the New River Valley. --BDD (talk) 22:29, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
