[edit] Carvoeiro, Azores

Carvoeiro, Azores (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

There is no such place as "Carvoeiro" in the Azores. It is unclear why it was created in the first place. Since it only links to a list of real places, and nothing links to it, it should be deleted to reduce confusion. Ron B. Thomson (talk) 15:57, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

    • I am also nominating the following related page because it is just another version of the first page ("Azores Islands" rather than "Azores"):

  • Delete both per nom. JohnCD (talk) 17:45, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect both to Corvo, Azores, which is located on Corvo Island. It may be what they were thinking about in the first place. It doesn't appear that these were ever anything but incorrect redirects to the Carvoeiro disambiguation page, until someone wrote "There is no places named Carvoeiro in the Azores." for both articles. Corvo, Carvoeiro, potato, potahto, redirects are cheap Mandsford (talk) 23:35, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
    • I find it extremely unlikely for someone to type either of these titles whens searching for the Corvo Island. Unnecessary re-target. Húsönd 11:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

  • If the entry is Corvo, then there should be a Corvo page (there may be -- I haven't looked), but there is no reason in Portuguese to link Carvoeiro to Corvo. Let's just start clean with Corvo, and leave the re-direct out of it. (Certainly there was no link from the old Carvoeiro, Azores nor of the Carvoeiro [conselho of Lagoa] to Corvo.) It's like have a redirect from Toronto to Turin (Italy) or Torun (Poland).... I still argue for deletion.Ron B. Thomson (talk) 01:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Procedural question. Shouldn't this discussion be at RfD rather than AfD? Both of these pages were created as redirects rather than articles. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete both. Per nom. Húsönd 11:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
