 * → Eric Clapton (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

1) Eric Clapton was never named "God" as nickname, and the "musician" in brackets suggest he was 2) The term "Clapton is God" was used on a graffiti (painted by an admirer), and then it was mentioned in the media. However, it is highly a POV argument. 3) less than 1% will search "God (musician)", as no pages links to this page. 4) Overall it is a "[Put a name here] is God" situation, so anyone can say his bias on his star. 5) He was mentioned in the media because of his skills. But that does not mean it is his name ♫GoP♫ T C N  13:30, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was Keep, a hat note on Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, fixed the problem which nominator said was alright.--Salix (talk): 08:35, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * → Feast of Saints Peter and Paul (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ] I am not sure whether this is quite the way to do this formally, but I would like to list the fact that if you type "St Paul's Day" into the box on the left, you get redirected to the Feast of  St. Peter and St. Paul (a date in June) to be listed here. I have always understood St. Paul's Day to be January 25, as is listed in Patricia Morrell's "Festivals and Customs". ACEOREVIVED (talk) 09:06, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * A difficult one since, contrary to my expectation, St Paul has multiple feast days. At the time I just knew of Peter and Paul having the same feast day.  (I used to be part of a St Peter's Church, so we tended to have a special service for the day.)  Then, from what I remember, I discovered that there were no articles here for St Peter's Day and St Paul's Day, but then that they were covered by one article to set up the redirects.  Still, let's see what other people have to say. — Smjg (talk) 11:54, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * FWIW, Catholics I know don't use the term "St Paul's Day". There's the feast of his conversion, and the feast he shares with St Peter, but not one of his own; I for one would never refer to either of them as St Paul's day or the feast of St Paul. So I'd say my first preference would be to outright delete St Paul's Day, but otherwise have it be a DAB page pointing to them both. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 18:16, 28 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: there is no such day and stats reveal that only bots are interested in this name. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 00:55, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Can you please give a source for these statistics? I take it that you mean "St. Paul's Day" - I hardly think that only bots could be interested in St. Paul!!!! I would disagree that only bots are interested in the name "St Paul's Day" - it was certainly of interest to Patricia Morrell, or else she would not have included it in her book "Festivals and Customs".

 * Disambig Chambers the book of days does indicate that Jan 25th is the "The festival of the Conversion of St. Paul" and June 29th may reflect the day of his martyrdom. So we can either have a disambig page or redirect to Paul_the_Apostle and add details of the two days there.--Salix (talk): 12:32, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed we have an article about it Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul.--Salix (talk): 12:42, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep a hat note at top of Feast of Saints Peter and Paul is all we need.--Salix (talk): 23:51, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

The Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul is actually part of the article on Conversion of Saint Paul; perhaps it would be best if typing in St Paul's Day, one get directed to the appropriate section of this article. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 22:14, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Currently Feast of Saints Peter and Paul has a hatnote with a link to  Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul. Thats all we need following WP:DISAMBIG although it could possibly be the other way round.--Salix (talk): 23:49, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
