The result was   redirect to 2011–12 Hannover 96 season. Normal practice for duplicate articles is to redirect, if plausable, rather than delete. This is a plausable redirect, and so I'll do that. Courcelles 23:49, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Duplicate of 2011–12 Hannover 96 season article. Kingjeff (talk) 17:45, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - absolutely no point having two identical articles. Calistemon (talk) 00:39, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:58, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect - as a plausible typo. As stated above, there's no point to having to indentical articles on the same topic. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:00, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete No need for duplicate. Ideally should be completed. Implausible typo. If this logic is extended we would have multiple articles for every other team season. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:04, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - just delete it now admin.--EchetusXe 10:10, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - no need for a redirect by this name. GiantSnowman 13:46, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect - redirects are harmless and easy. Nobody's suggesting creating redirects like this for every article, but once one exists, you can just redirect it without the rigmarole of an AFD. 109.154.73.118 (talk) 14:18, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - The only redirects useful for the season articles (for both competition season articles and club season articles) are redirects concerning the dash for multiple years like this one has and if the club is known by more than 1 name like FC Bayern Munich (which also could go by as Bayern Munich, FC Bayern München or Bayern München). Redirects in general should be useful and user-friendly. This name was just a terrible error. Kingjeff (talk) 20:17, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Kingjeff is correct, a redirect has no value. Whether the s in Season is captialised or not makes no difference when doing a search, it will find either article. Calistemon (talk) 23:23, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - My point was more that this entire AFD is a waste of everybody's time. It could have been redirected by now, without bothering anybody. 109.154.73.118 (talk) 22:42, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - My point and Calistemon's point is that creating this page was just a waste of time and that this article shouldn't have been created to begin with and that nobody would ever use this redirect because by the time this name is written, the other article would have already showen up in the search. Kingjeff (talk) 01:33, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - pointless duplicate. --Jimbo[online] 12:12, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as per above. --Jaellee (talk) 17:36, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Redundant article. Argyle 4 Life  talk  19:17, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect - There is absolutely no plausible argument for not redirecting this title; quite honestly, I almost did so per WP:BOLD and closed this AFD as moot. Redirects are cheap, cost us nothing, and will greatly assist someone who accidentally uses the wrong s when linking to the article. If the concern is server time and storage space, no worries - this AFD has already cost more than any redirect, and it's just 2 days old. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 21:55, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Per UEZZ. Deletion alone isn't really warranted. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 15:25, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
