Executive Order No. 1066[edit]

This orphan article has the wrong name (it should be 9066 not 1066) and its contents are largely similar to those already in United States Executive Order 9066 and Japanese American internment. A redirect would be misleading, so delete.

Delete - good catch. Neat stuff google tells you: Excellent writer Sherman Alexie apparently made the same mistake in the pages of Time magazine, and there was a real executive order 1066 in the Philippines, but it sounds extremely boring and unencyclopedic, so I'm not inclined to replace this article with one about it.

Two people have now made the same mistake (one of them in an article widely enough known that people might try to search on it). Sounds like a redirect candidate to me. The redirect can always be overwritten if anyone ever writes an article about the real Executive Order 1066. Rossami (talk) 00:30, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Delete, a redirect from here would be misleading and/or confusing for new users. Megan1967 08:01, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
