- Spray paint → Aerosol paint (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Based on WP:COMMONNAME, "spray paint" seems a more suitable title of the article, and "aerosal paint" be used as a redirect. -- NotCharizard 🗨 03:52, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

First Battle of Siversk
- First Battle of Siversk → Battle of Donbas (2022) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete. Battle of Siversk was merged on the basis that there was no substantial event that would be identified by the article title (see Talk:Battle of Siversk#Merge proposal). First Battle of Siversk was created on the premise that there soon would be a "second battle". However, if there were to be a battle for this town, either now or in the future, it would not be known as either the "first" or the "second" battles. Cinderella157 (talk) 03:30, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Creek Massacre
- Creek Massacre → Sand Creek massacre (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Terrible redirect, there were numerous Foo Creek massacres, such as Indian Creek massacre, Myall Creek massacre, Waterloo Creek massacre, and on and on. Delete. Mdewman6 (talk) 02:56, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Mixed feelings, a Google search suggests that the Sand Creek massacre is by far the most common topic for the phrase, though it is never referred to without the "Sand. Perhaps Dabify? Rusalkii (talk) 02:58, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- It would only make sense to have a primary redirect or a dab page if it (or any of the others) were referred to by simply "Creek massacre". I don't believe there is evidence for that. We shouldn't have dab pages for phrases that are only partial title matches, as WP:PTMs should not be included on disambiguation pages. Mdewman6 (talk) 03:18, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete This is a partial title match. If this existed I would expect it to be related to the Muscogee. Kk.urban (talk) 04:15, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
2020 Games
- 2020 Games → 2020 Summer Olympics (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The Summer Olympics are not known simply as "Games". See also Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 January 3#2022 Games. Mia Mahey (talk) 02:22, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I'll note, they are in many occasions, such as [1] [2] [3], none of which use the "summer" qualifier but do refer to the 2024 as Games. These aren't the Winter Olympics. There's the colloquial Olympics, and the Winter Olympics. The word "summer" is often dropped on most occasions when discussing the Olympics that take place in the summer, so I wouldn't consider the winter games to be on the same level. 2008 Games and 1992 Games are current redirects to their respective Olympics and have existed since 2007 and 2006, respectively. This is in conjunction with similar titles such as 2006 Winter Games and/or 2014 Winter Games as expected. These were created through AfC so I don't have a strong attachment, but if you have any alternate titles that have a higher significant usage of "2020 Games" that could be useful to note.
