Proposed immediate deletion
Unused redirect (plural version of a page name). I cleaned up the last of the pages that link to this a few minutes ago by fixing the links to use the proper plural form. -Mdettweiler 04:26, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * According to Help:Redirect a redirect based on the plural form is permissible. Removing the links is fine but I think leaving this is fine(and it has been here since 2006, on that basis I'm guessing)--31dot 11:10, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

Hey, would you know. :-) I could have sworn that I'd read somewhere that plurals weren't permissible redirects, but I hadn't thought to check the horse's mouth. Thanks. -Mdettweiler 15:04, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Though I appreciate the credit :) I actually did not know until I went and looked.--31dot 23:09, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Based on history, though, we've tended to violate quite a few of those acceptable redirects. Common misspellings seem to be the main one we don't allow and I know that we've also deleted plural redirects. &mdash; Morder (talk) 23:15, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * I have known that to happen as well. I'm not sure if that's right or what can be done if it isn't, though.  I know with misspellings it could be tough to determine what is a "common" one.--31dot 23:21, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * At Memory Alpha:Pages for deletion/Warf we did touch on this issue.--31dot 23:22, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Easy to fix: delete the offending lines in the help page. :) But seriously I don't see what it hurts. I wasn't here for the Warf thing but common misspellings are a slippery slope - Warph, Worph, Woof, Weauxrf...anyway, if it fits the definition of the help page it's an obvious keep. :) &mdash; Morder (talk) 23:31, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * [Edit conflict] I voting for a Keep on this, since its not like we're inflating our page count with plural redirects or anything. I think we can wrap this up, since the misspelling issue is a topic for another page, though with my horrid spelling I'm all for them. :) - Archduk3:  talk  23:38, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
