Redirect for Nancy Regan, reply[edit]

Articles Gerald Regan, Geoff Regan, Laura Regan, Live at 5 (CTV TV series), and List of Trailer Park Boys characters all had links pointing to Nancy Regan (the television personality, news anchor, journalist). These links however, were redirecting to Nancy Davis Reagan (the American politician) in error. My attempt was to disambiguate these links, but because no correct article appears to exists, I felt it was best to simply remove the links altogether, rather than allowing the reader to link to an article that made no sense to its purpose. My preference in these situations, is to convert to red-links (which they probably were, before someone created a redirect), but I was unsure of exactly how a "Nancy Regan" article should be named. My guess, is that Nancy Regan really should redirect to Regan (disambiguation) instead... but I decided to leave that as is, and avoid the possibility of getting caught up in the middle of an edit war.
