Apollo Eleven → Apollo Eleven (horse) – I contend that the primary usage of "Apollo Eleven" is the spacemission Apollo 11, so this title should redirect there. The disambiguation page Apollo 11 (disambiguation) can be used to indicate this racehorse. -- 70.50.148.248 (talk) 08:11, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

• Support per WP:COMMONNAME. First two Google Books pages; all spacemission, nothing about the horse. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 09:05, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
• Support - per 70.50.148.248. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:56, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
• Support per nom. The space mission is the clear primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:14, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Honestly this is going to WP:SNOW. Suggest the next editor passing through moves and closes. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:25, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Looks like this was already done, and in this case, I personally would have agreed, given that the horse was most likely named in honor of the spaceflight (permanent names are usually given to the horse when it begins racing at age two), but tacky to snow close it less than 8 hours after it went up, particularly when it went up in the wee hours of the USA when everyone was asleep, and with only four people commenting. Just saying; poor form. Montanabw^(talk) 19:49, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Not at all. This is so obvious that the discussion shouldn't have been opened in the first place. Ego White Tray (talk) 15:07, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
