I expected this redirect to point at Little Miss Sunshine the children's book main character in (
Mr. Men) not the unrelated Movie
Little Miss Sunshine, but I also found at least one song
[1] by
R.I.O. called Miss Sunshine that was the cover track of one of their albums and charted in every German speaking country in Europe according to our article. Therefore this is an XY partial title match for two things and an exact title match to at least one song, and is therefore not helpful.

I'm confused about the purpose of this redirect. "Tea tea" isn't mentioned in the article, and it's tagged as a page from an alternative language, even though "tea" is an English word. My searches for "tea tea" shows nothing to do with Masala chai, so this is
WP:R#D5, nonsense. --

- Oh, a learning moment! This is what I've heard called "contrastive reduplication", though you'll find it here at
Contrastive focus reduplication. Used this way, you could logically talk of "tea tea" to contrast it with something that's called tea that doesn't derive from
Camellia sinensis, such as
herbal tea or
rooibos. I think you certainly could make something like masala chai without proper tea leaves, but that's not the usual way you'd do it. If I had to guess, this was created as a snarky variant of the common phrase "chai tea", since "chai" itself simply means "tea". (As a side note, I also love the term "reduplication", because it seems like a linguistic joke. Duplicating something creates two—shouldn't reduplicating create three or four, depending on whether you duplicate the full product or just the original output?) All that said, I don't think this is a useful search term. --

Christ's Sake (band), a Christian rock outfit, and
For Christ's Sake, a comedy film. Both articles may be on the questionable side as far as significance goes, though. I'm inclined to think for right now that both

Christsakes should just be deleted.

WP:RFD#D5 nonsense. Were she a saint she would be called Saint somebody (presumable Saint Teresa of somewhere), not this. A Gsearch reveals no use of this phrase (without any intervening punctuation). She's already in the "See Also" at the DAB page
Saint Teresa.

- Comment - If she were already
canonized, this would be unambiguous (because "Mother" is present), not harmful, and not incorrect, so I would be at a "Weak Keep". It has been announced she will be sainted, it is notable and almost certain to take place, so this isn't a
WP:NOTCRYSTAL violation. Though information is given in the lead, Refine to
Mother Teresa#Sainthood would be appropriate, as not to give the impression the subject is currently a saint.—

- Keep - the church has already declared she will be canonized, they just haven't set a date. That makes the fact of her sainthood essentially current. I imagine she will likely be known as Saint Theresa of Calcutta (or similar) rather than this title, but this is unambiguous and close enough.

This used to be directed at
RMS Titanic, which was rather famously described as such (of course, before it sank); it was later blanked by
User:EEng as "absurd" and redirected to the current target by
User:Malcolmxl5. I think that redirecting from a phrase commonly used (however incorrectly) about ships to a relatively obscure military concept about islands is rather confusing, and is very likely not what the very small amount of people viewing it are looking for. As its only incoming link is an old DYK nom, I think it can be safely deleted.
