Not clear what the purpose of this redirect is. The article mentions the
Grand Prix of Houston, which could plausibly be nicknamed "Streets of Houston", but if so then
Grand Prix of Houston is a better target (and doesn't mention it as a nickname). Delete unless a justification can be provided. signed,

- Streets of Houston is the name of the circuit not the name of the event. The article
Grand Prix of Houston is about the event. Streets of Houston should adress its location. --

- Retarget to
Houston#Roadways (or any other similar target anyone can find), similar to
streets of Denver,
streets of Los Angeles,
streets of St. Louis,
streets of Vancouver, etc. Based on usage in reliable sources
[1]
[2], the
WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT of the phrase "streets of Houston" is streets in general, not the race course specifically.

- Keep, this thing has
been helpful to many people since February 2005, and doesn't seem to be in the way of anything. Also "Looney" and "Loony" are pretty much pronounced the same, so it's a plausible alternative spelling. Regards,

- Keep For at least the "Toons" part, I'm in the same boat as
OcelotCreeper, and I never paid enough attention as a kid to realize it was a
double entendre. Perhaps because of the reasoning
Ost316 contributed to some bias in my memory later in life. As for Loony, that seems like a pretty plausible error as well given that it is the
more common general spelling. -

Not sure if this is the correct venue to nominate category redirects. There are 3 "Heroes" television series with articles. This redirect should be deleted as it shouldn't point any of them.

The series was never a "TV serial", nor are any other entries at
Heroes#Television refereed to as such.

- Question Why was it never a
TV serial? It was literally told in a "sequential episode-by-episode fashion." Anecdotally, I agree that it wasn't referred to as a serial, but it was definitely serial storytelling. A lot of TV became more serialized around this time, but you don't hear the term very much. A
24 (TV serial) wouldn't be too
WP:ASTONISHing if it existed. It doesn't look like it's used very much, though, so I'm not going be hard over on arguing
WP:RHARMFUL. -

- Keep Each episode continues from the last - there is a "Previously" sequence at the start of each episode (except Chapter One). You need to watch from the start in order to follow the plot, it's not like Wagon Train which may be watched in almost any order. It's a serial, no doubt. --

Not mentioned at target article. It's an early draft name of the character, but probably out of scope of the article, and it's not likely people are constantly searching for this.

- Keep, on principle, as all similar synonym redirects should be kept please. They are readily cited and where necessary - please don't create a flood of busy-work - can be added to the target articles. I've added and cited this one per WP:BELT-AND-BRACES or something, but the point I'd like to establish is that since redirects are cheap, and this type is verifiably correct even if used only by a small minority, they should not be deleted. Very likely there are other classes of Middle-earth redirect that also deserve to stay.

The target is not a county and is not called Xinxi in English nor in Japanese. The ancient
