[edit] AIM redirect is too bold

I put this up a few days ago on the AIM discussion, but that is hard to find, so I'll copy it here. Stephen B Streater 19:09, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Why is AIM redirected to some US company's product?

Clearly, AIM is the most successful European capital market, the Alternative Investment Market.

As you can see, I'm against the redirect, and will revert it when I get time (subject to consensus). Stephen B Streater 06:22, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm feeling less strongly about this now, but think a discussion of a redirect of such a large disambiguation page is in order. Stephen B Streater 19:09, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I must say, I find myself aligned with the fact the current redirect is too bold; generally a redirect should only follow where one use is clearly more prevalent than all others. However, the issue is complicated by the fact that as important as the Alternative Investment Market, the Wikipedia article on it is very poor, which makes it harder to argue its case. By contrast, the article on AOL Instant Messenger is quite good because the techie anoraks have been at it. But I think the discussion should stay open. Legis 08:37, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A lot of red links

I noticed that there are a ton of red links on this page. I know nothing about any of the red-linked items, but if someone who does could create some good articles, that would make this page look a lot better. Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 20:57, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
