Long-standing redirect created by a page move in 2015.
List of countries without ice rinks and ice hockey was deleted by
postdlf due to an unreferenced hockey-related junk article edit warning. Not only is there no ice rinks nor ice hockey exists in several countries.

Delete all as implausible redirects.
- "UKofGBNI" gets exactly 3 independent hits on Google. The stats tool is refusing to give me any figures.
- "U.-K." is a completely implausible mix of hyphens and full stops. It gets a trickle of hits that is borderline noise level.
- "United Kingdom," has a trailing comma and past consensuses at RfD has always been that these are not useful.

Fails XY, in that this is certainly a more implausible target than
American International College itself, the college hockey program where the subject was a four-year starter. (Come to that, I wager I'm the only editor around who's actually seen the AIC Yellow Jackets play home games).

Where should this point? The current target is the general article about the country which has existed in its present form since 1922, although the article also deals with the two preceding states
Kingdom of Great Britain (1707-1800) and
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1801-1922). The
History of the United Kingdom article also covers from 1707 to the present.
History of the British Isles covers a broader geographical area prehistory to the present. The post-1800 history of Great Britain is covered in multiple articles with more limited span -
Georgian era (1714 to 1830),
Regency era (1795 to 1837),
Victorian era (1837-1901),
Edwardian era (1901-14),
History of the United Kingdom during the First World War (1914-18),
Home front during World War II#Britain (1939-45) and
History of the United Kingdom (1945–present).
Great Britain is primarily a geographical article and contains no information about post-1800 history, pointing to
History of the United Kingdom.

- The article
United Kingdom is a about a state which has existed since 1801. It was renamed when most of Ireland seceded, that's all. And even then, largely through precedence (though some titles were officially changed by an act in 1927). Idk why I created that redirect though, its pretty pointless. I'd favour just deleting it.

- The result of the discussion was retarget to
Government of the District of Columbia#Politics. There is agreement that the redirect is ambiguous, and that there are two likely targets:
Politics of the United States (the current target) and
Government of the District of Columbia#Politics. The latter of these has received more support (5 effective !votes vs. 2 for the former) and has been shown to be a more specific target, and the one that is consistent with other redirects of the same form (Nyttend's argument). Hence, I see clear consensus for retargeting. However, the fact that 5 out of the 12 participants in the discussion did not explicitly support an outcome is probably an indication that the matter shouldn't be seen as completey settled.

- Tavix argued the same, but I'm skeptical of this. Sure, there's general talk in American politics about "fixing Washington" and the like, but I find it highly unlikely that readers would use a term like "Washington DC politics" over things like "American politics", "US politics", etc. Maybe there's no way to know for sure, but I'd think the more specific search term would mean something. If nothing else, I think it's a good principle not to assume a search term is erroneous unless there isn't a good alternative. --

Namibia Ice and InLine Hockey Association"; the link in the article is broken, though the NIIHA has a
Facebook page that indicates it still goes by that name. I agree that it appears that there's never been a "Namibia national ice hockey team", nor even that there is one planned; the article
Ice hockey in Africa basically notes that they have an inline team but not an ice hockey team, and that this redirect should be deleted. I also think that
Namibia Ice and InLine Hockey Association and the national team article should be merged, but that's another action entirely.
