kill redirect from Kill list

as per Wikipedia:Common_name#Common_names. unless objection i will make the change in a few days. Darkstar1st (talk) 18:50, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Darkstar1st, I'm not sure what exactly you're proposing? I suspect that most people who type "Kill list" into wikipedia expect to see this article, and aren't interested in the film. -Darouet (talk) 23:02, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

good point. i recommend we rename Disposition Matrix to kill list and put a link to the film's article at the top. the article about the film could use some work/rewrite anyway, it appears to be identical to the imdb entry. Darkstar1st (talk) 23:21, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Disposition Matrix is the semi-official kill list run by the United States government as part of its war on terror. I wonder if we should have a general article on kill lists? I'd be happy to work with you in the future on this but am quite busy right now... anyway feel free to solicit opinions from others or do as you see fit. -Darouet (talk) 00:02, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

sounds great, i am in no rush either. what other countries have kill lists? Darkstar1st (talk) 00:08, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. officials said the database is designed to go beyond existing kill lists, mapping plans for the “disposition” of suspects beyond the reach of American drones. we may be dealing with two subjects, a drone kill list(existing kill list), and a matrix to map plans for people not in drone range? Darkstar1st (talk) 00:16, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know of other kill lists drawn up in other countries. I think similar lists might have been used in Afghanistan and Iraq at certain times in the last 10 years, and it's likely that we'd find them used in some of the latin American civil wars in the last half century. About your second comment, I think a whole series of separate lists maintained by the CIA, JSOC, and other organizations have been dumped into the Disposition Matrix, which is a kind of master list. -Darouet (talk) 00:01, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

here are some rs to consider that use the term or commen name "kill list" [1], [2], [3] Darkstar1st (talk) 04:41, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Talk:Targeted killing. -Darouet (talk) 00:34, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I support redirecting "Kill List" to this article. Why hasn't that been done yet? It was proposed over a month ago. Akuri (talk) 20:25, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
