Talk:Valdez Peninsula

From WP:RfD:


 * Valdez Peninsula &rarr; Península Valdés -- Misleading as to proper spelling. Redirects cannot catch all orthographic variations. There are already several sensible redirects, with the words reversed and without accents on one or both words. This redirect was present in only one page (now corrected). Pablo D.

 * Google shows about 600 hits for "Valdez Peninsula". Definite keep, I'd say. In fact, the article appears to be incorrectly titled, because for web pages in English, the English spelling of "Peninsula" is more common:
 * 1,610 for "Península Valdés"
 * 2,310 for "Peninsula Valdés"
 * 832 for "Valdés Peninsula"
 * So it looks like it should be moved to Peninsula Valdés. (See Naming conventions (use English) for the policy on this.) Noel (talk) 19:29, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I created the rd this morning after finding "Valdez Peninsula" in my print Britannica. My feeling was if the redirect wasn't there, then there was a risk of some well-intentioned editor creating a duplicate article (it was already there as a redlink on that whale page). But, as the kids say, "whatever". –Hajor 19:41, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Hajor. This kind of redirects is extremely useful, for the very reason Hajor mentioned. Rl 08:57, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, very common alternate name for Península Valdés (and up until now, I always thought the Kenai Peninsula was called the Valdez Peninsula!). --Angr/undefined 23:46, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
