Typo in the name. Redirected to May There Always Be Sunshine. Cmapm 22:22, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep the redirect. No real reason to delete it. -Doozer (Talk) 22:38, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Unless we also want pages called May there Always Be Sunshine, May There Always Be sunshine, May There Always Be SunshinE, etc.--Heathcliff 23:29, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Since the edit history shows that Cmapm created the article and then immediately tagged it for deletion, I'm guessing that this is a leftover after a page move. If that is the case, there are several reasons to leave it as a redirect. 1) It points the other contributors to the new location. 2) It catches any missed inbound links. (Even if you clean out "What links here", a revert can restore an old link.) 3) Redirects are cheap. We don't go out of our way to create new redirects for every conceivable misspelling but once one exists, we generally keep the redirect. (By the way, this really should have been nominated at Redirects for deletion.) Rossami (talk) 01:23, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- You are absolutely right, it was my mistake and I moved it to one with correct name. Your second point is very interesting. I didn't create any links to it myself, but there IS non-zero probability that such link may be found in the history of at least one page in Wikipedia. It seems to me that it is very close to zero, though. Therefore, I don't change my vote delete for it, although I promise to place such things under Redirects for deletion next time :-) Cmapm 16:04, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, pointless redirect. Megan1967 07:14, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep the redirect. Probably helpful as many people do not upper case small words in titles. NoAccount
