The result of the discussion was retarget to John Adams. Hopefully this is strong enough consensus to satisfy the nominator. As far as hatnotes or disambiguation goes, anyone is free to WP:BOLDLY enact any changes they feel is necessary. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:45, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Johnadams → List of minor planets: 3001–4000  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Shouldn't this be redirected to John Adams? Yes, the asteroid was named after the president, but this may still result in WP:R#PLA for readers unaware of this. --Nevé–selbert 20:25, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am going to ping in our taxonomy expert User:Plantdrew on this one. It would not at all surprise me that there were rosa jonadamsii or somesuch, quite an accolade to have a rose named after you. (and also quite an accolade to have a president award you a rose). Is there at all anything close in the planty line? Probably not, but we can then rule it out as not a viable scientific name. I couldn't find any. Si Trew (talk) 23:57, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SimonTrew: It can be ruled out as a scientific name for an organism. It'd likely be johnadamsii in a scientific name anyway. A quick check of the most comprehensive database for plant names and two of the more comprehensive databases that include animals showed zero results for johnadams or johnadamsii.

• Comment There's a naming convention that these minor planets are given one word names like Johnadams, Johncleese, Johnchapman, Jonstewart. as one word without the space [1] but do we really need redirects for every minor planet? There are hundreds of thousands of planets with names, leading to WP:NOTCATALOG. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:25, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to 2nd Weather Squadron. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 12:06, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, the 2d Weather Wing (active 1954-1991), 2d Weather Group (active 1945-1946, 1952-1965 and 2007-present), and 2d Weather Squadron (active 1937-1944, 1951-1956, 1967-1969, 1975-1991, 1992-2006 and 2007-present) are three different units. The only association of any of them is that the 2d Weather Squadron has been assigned to the 2d Weather Group since 2007 at Offutt AFB. Other than that, none have been stationed together, assigned to another, or succeeded another. A retarget is not appropriate, either. --Lineagegeek (talk) 13:03, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete both Technically the reasoning behind creating the second one is correct, but I don't see it being used. Also a redirect with diacritics is ultimately hard to type.

• Weak keep. My opinions about WP:REDLINK are in line with CoffeeWithMarkets' opinion, but since this web site has existed and doesn't have an article yet, I think the redirect should probably stay to allow readers to find the subject's "parent subject", as well as tag the redirect with ((R with possibilities)).
