We even have categories for wrong names, {{ R from incorrect name}} ; the addition of "river" + "Julia" makes it a reasonable search term to look for any river named Julia. That Julia (river) exists as a redirect to the target makes it even more obvious this is a good redirect, since many people wouldn't bother with parens -- 70.51.202.113 ( talk) 03:39, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

keep, plausible redirect . I would suggest you to consider that I did not create the redirect just to increase my edit count. It does not matter how it is called in French, German and Italian . It is English wikipedia. And in English, whether correctly or by mistake, it was called just like this: "Julier Valley". The redirect is plausible, if only one bothers to recall that we have not only wikipedia but also google to learn about things you don't know. - üser:Altenmann >t 00:37, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete No, there is no
Julier Valley, nor aJulier River. Neither in German, Romansh, French, or Italian, nor in English! It is simply wrong to call it that way (by many obviously), in whatever language. The river is called Julia, or Gelgia, but notJulier. They Valley is either called Sursés, or Oberhalbstein, but notJulier Valley, even not in English. – Now, since the existance of such a redirect could lead to the idea that this is a correct wording (in English), I propose to delete it in order to prevent (further) misunderstandings/misapplications. Just because tourists and English authors make the same mistake does not make it less wrong. -- ZH8000 ( talk) 20:12, 28 September 2015 (UTC)- NOTE the above !vote was entered by the nominator. -- 70.51.202.113 ( talk) 03:40, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

- Weak keep
or retarget to Julier Pass. A valley is more like a pass than a river, though rivers create valleys. In English, "Julier" seems to be the correct name for the pass and an incorrect (though plausible) name for the river. The target article's second sentence is very difficult to parse, but it refers to a "valley of the Gelgia". Tag with {{ R from incorrect name}} either way. -- BDD ( talk) 15:55, 4 October 2015 (UTC)- Nope. The pass is in the mountains where the river starts. The valley consists of Julier Pass plus much larger Sursés ( de:Oberhalbstein). SO a better idea would be a disambig page Gelgia Valley. - üser:Altenmann >t 16:31, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- I know you probably mean well, but those big bolded "Nope"s come across as very condescending. Gelgia Valley as a disambiguation page would be a bad idea unless there were multiple topics that could be referred to as "Gelgia Valley"—an article with that title would be just fine, and would be the most logical place for this redirect to point. Perhaps retargeting to the pass isn't such a good idea either. -- BDD ( talk) 18:22, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
