I'm not convinced that this is a plausible misspelling of Motel, a google search suggests to me that this should probably be targeting Mottle. 192.76.8.74 ( talk) 19:02, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
This is a surname of Khalifa Haftar and a Playboy model that does not have her own article. Neither one is exceedingly well-known as Haftar. Delete as confusing. MB 18:14, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

a) "Pre-Columbian" is misspelled. b) "Pre-Columbian" only applies to the New World. c) Google search only finds 18 instances of this misspelling/solecism. Macrakis ( talk) 16:53, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

The article this redirect goes to is about a military group of the army of the Republic of Venice composed by ethnic Morlachs. It isn't about the army of a Morlach country or a particularly Morlach independent military group, no, so calling it "Morlach army" is excessive, as if the Morlachs had never participated in another army that wasn't this one. To give some context, the Morlachs were an Eastern Romance people, related to the Romanians you could say (perhaps the same people as the Istro-Romanians). By the way, "Morlach army" gives 0 results in Google Scholar and all its results in Google are to Wikipedia mirror sites. Super Ψ Dro 11:39, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
redirecting a misnomer to a correct term? People who are not familiar with the subject or have only basic English might type in Morlach army and still arrive at the right place that will properly explain what this irregular military group was about? ☿ Apaugasma ( talk ☉) 16:54, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

WeatherTech is a company that makes automotive accessories. It does not make sense for its page to redirect to the page for the IMSA SportsCar Championship, a racing series WeatherTech happens to sponsor - it is confusing and unintuitive. You would not redirect the page for Xfinity to the NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the same principle applies here. Derache123 ( talk) 04:39, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

One final nomination, I don't believe this project page, that contains details about Wikipedia workshops at Fordham University that occurred several years ago, warrants a redirect. I doubt that any reader will be looking for this internal information page or use a redirect to locate it. Not every page needs a redirect especially in project space. There is a similar situation with Wikipedia:KTW. Liz Read! Talk! 04:04, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

This WikiProject has an existing abbreviation (WP:MOZ) and doesn't really need another. Liz Read! Talk! 03:41, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
Similar to Equatorial Guinea, this redirect was created and then added to the WIkiProject as an abbreviation. I think this is unnecessary for little visited WikiProjects like this one. Liz Read! Talk! 03:39, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

No list at the target. Was merged in 2003 into an article which would eventually be renamed to List of miscellaneous commercial failures, and then deleted by AfD in 2007. This redirect survived because a bot corrected a double-redirect to Flop, and then Deathphoenix ( talk · contribs) changed the target to its current location. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 03:15, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
I'm wondering if this redirect needs to retargeted to either Nacre or the Pearling DAB page. There seems to be quite a lot of confusion on the pages referring to pearling too (harvesting pearls vs shells), so I am going to try to have a look at that too. But this target seems a bit specific for "Pearl shell" (also redirected as one word). Laterthanyouthink ( talk) 07:34, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
a nacreous or pearl-bearing shell : PEARL OYSTER. Since a number of kinds of bivalve can create pearls (including the current target), I say retarget to Bivalve shell, which discusses the formation of pearls. A hatnote can be added there pointing to nacre. We'd lose any link to the current target in the process, but I'm not sure that's actually a problem. If it is, a more complex hatnote can be devised, I suppose; or a link there can be added to the body of the article. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she/they) 16:11, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
a pearl-producing shell (pearl oyster). Bivalve shell mentions mother of pearl, the material from which pearls are formed. But it doesn't talk about pearls at all. I suggest Pearl#creation is better since it is about pearls and discusses their formation in the shell. Also note that pearl oyster is a redirect to a saltwater genus, but that is too specific also for pearl shell. MB 00:08, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Useless redirect, their cannot be a list of highways with this name if only one has had this name so far. Hog Farm Talk 02:09, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
