Deletion rationale
Based on Talk:Manitoba, I have determined that this was only created as part of a merge of "real world" information on apparently triticale being invented in 1959 at the University of Manitoba, and based on no canon reference. This redirect should therefore have probably never existed here to begin with, and all the information in multiple articles about the triticale coming from that University and 1959 should not have been in the canon portion of articles, only background. The only canon information we have is this (as far as I know):


 * SPOCK: "Quadrotriticale is a high-yield grain, a four-lobed hybrid of wheat and rye. A perennial, also, I believe. Its root grain, triticale, can trace its ancestry all the way back to twentieth century Canada."

That should be the extent of our canon information, none of this 1959 University of Manitoba stuff. I have corrected our articles.

Further information brought up on Talk:Triticale pointed me to Triticale, which shows that this isn't even true in the real world. Triticale was invented in Scotland and Sweden in the 19th century in the real world, not 1959, not the University of Manitoba. There isn't even any mention of anything notable in the Wikipedia article connecting the University to the grain.

So, we have a redirect that was created for real world information that was false, and incorrectly placed as canon information in multiple articles. I have to say, this was one heck of a error on our parts. There is zero reason that I can think of for this redirect. --OuroborosCobra talk 06:58, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
