Dover_castle
Badly titled page, it should be called "The Dover Castle" to avoid collision with a page on "Dover Castle" (the castle in Dover, not the pub. I've moved the pub's page to "The Dover Castle" and want to remove the old page PeterArnold 19:44, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't agree with where the redirect points. I would suggest that a fortification involved in the defence of England for centuries is more important than a pub in Leicester. Average Earthman 20:35, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * AFD is not the place for this. Deletion is not involved in solving this problem.  PeterArnold and Average Earthman both apparently want the redirect to point to Dover Castle instead of to The Dover Castle.  The answer is just to edit the redirect, then.  No administrator privileges are required.  Indeed, one doesn't even need to have a user account to be able to do this.  There's not even a disagreement as to where the redirect should point (for which the article's talk page would be the place, not AFD). Uncle G 22:10, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect both to "Dover Castle" (the castle). The pub is non-notable. Andrew pmk | Talk 00:45, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The problem is that there are two pages: "Dover_Castle" (the fortification in Kent) and "Dover_castle" (the old page for the pub that currently redirects to the new page for the pub). I feel that it would be cleaner to delete the "Dover_castle" page rather than redirecting it to the fortification page. For the moment I have redirected the "Dover_castle" page to point to the "Dover_Castle" page. PeterArnold 07:11, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Another issue is that a search for "Dover Castle" finds the fortification page but a search for "dover castle" finds the redirection page. I would say this is another reason for deleting it. PeterArnold 07:11, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
