Talk:Sony ARW 2.1

Contested deletion
I contest the deletion of this redirect because it is not an "implausible typo or misnomer" and certainly not uncontroversial as stated by the nominator. ARW is Sony's raw image file format in their α series of cameras, and 1.0 is one of the ARW version numbers, as for example reported in Exif data. It is important to distinguish the version numbers in image file processing and to distinguish feature sets. It is common in Wikipedia to have redirects from all version numbers in order to allow editors to specifically refer to different versions in articles, when required. In this case, the target article does not distinguish between the different versions yet, but it may do so in the future, and this is no reason to delete the redirect, anyway. Even now, it already allows reverse-lookup and helps to build the web. None of the deletion criteria for redirects (per WP:R) applies, but several of the reasons to keep (per WP:R) are met. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 06:46, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I fail to see the reason why we would need to have as many as seven redirects with the name "Sony ARW [version number]" as seen here, all of them being broken links to nonexistent sections of a much more general article. --uKER (talk) 10:37, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
