Grabage tin
Am I mistaken in thinking that standard policy is not to have redirects from mis-spellings of words? -- Dcfleck 14:22, 2005 Apr 3 (UTC)
 * Keep, harmless. And yes, you're mistaken (see Redirect).  This belongs on WP:RFD, by the way. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 14:31, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Whoops, I see you are correct, I am mistaken, on both counts. Sorry. -- Dcfleck 14:34, 2005 Apr 3 (UTC)

Well, according to Candidates for speedy deletion, redirects can be speedy deleted if they're the results of typos. RickK 22:37, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)

Delete - even the indefinitely large resources of Wikipedia will run out of space if we have every possible mis-spelling as an article. --Wtshymanski 22:40, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Misspelling "Condoleezza" (the example given on the policy page) and misspelling "garbage" are two completely different beasts.  Presumably this is, as RickK said, nothing more than a typo.  And if it isn't a typo, if someone misspells "garbage tin" in an article (though the redirect is currently orphaned), shouldn't we just correct the link? Junkyardprince | Tark 04:45, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
