This article had been about the geological feature, or a redirect to Cirque, but the most common use of this word is apparently for Coronation Street. Since a disambiguation page already exists, that would probably be the best solution. —The way, the truth, and the light 15:32, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While it may be true that the more, er…, populist branches of the Internet use "corrie" to mean Coronation Street, academia takes a rather different approach. Google Scholar returns many results for "corrie", almost all of which seem to be the geological form. Some hits are for Rachel Corrie or Corrie ten Boom; none of them is about Coronation Street. We are supposed to follow the examples of reputable sources, all of which, I'm sure, consider "corrie" to be nothing other than a geological term. A hatlink at cirque should be enough to point soap fans in the right direction. --Stemonitis 12:23, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I had redirected it to Cirque, when another user changed it to Coronation Street; I accepted it at the time because I didn't know there was a disambiguation page. I put a hatlink at Coronation Street because of this.

When a reader types 'corrie', is he looking for the geologic feature, the soap opera, or someone named 'Corrie'? I don't know, that's what disambiguation pages are for. The way, the truth, and the light 15:13, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I redirected Corrie to the disambiguation page; that has now been the case for several days. The way, the truth, and the light 21:46, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now that the page has been moved, please contribute to cleaning up the incoming ambiguous links by piping and retargeting them to the correct articles. Thank you! Dekimasu よ! 03:04, 4 June 2007 (UTC) [reply]
