Keith jarret
Completely unnecessary really, it's a superfluous copy of an article we already have (Keith Jarrett (the proper spelling)). It's like having an article for Miles Davis called Milse daviss. I don't think a redirect is justified, it's a complete waste Knucmo2 19:46, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Just make a redirect. It's plausible that someone could forget the last "t". --Fang Aili 20:04, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * speedy redirect. The existence of the article is evidence that at least one person misspelled it this way, and redirects are cheap. &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 20:05, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect As an awfull spell-er miself, Im offendedd. :-P  --Quasipalm 20:06, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't wikipedians want to get into the habit of redirecting from misspellings, it's just laziness not being bothered to retype a name properly (capitalizing the J and adding a t is not laborious stuff).--Knucmo2 20:18, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, we already have policy that says the opposite. Redirects from misspellings are good. Andre ( talk ) 20:38, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

 * Speedy redirect - redirects are cheap. FreplySpang (talk) 20:33, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect, if anyone's not too lazy to try it. --fuddlemark (talk) 20:33, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect. Plausible misspelling. Nufy8 20:34, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. Agreed, we don't want Milse daviss, but even WP:CSD mentions redirects for common mis-spellings or misnomers as useful. I'd say "Jarret" for "Jarrett" would be far from uncommon. Tonywalton | Talk 20:35, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect. Why did you bother bringing this to AFD? Andre ( talk ) 20:36, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I find your tone patronizing. I brought this to AfD due to the reasons listed above, if you didn't agree with them, don't question why I did it, OK?  All you needed to do with list your objections, not bring into question my motives.--Knucmo2 21:39, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I hardly think your motives were being questioned. Andre was, and please correct me if I'm wrong, just expressing that fact that bringing this to AfD was pretty pointless considering WP policy allows, even encourages, misspellings to be redirected. Soltak | Talk 21:49, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * E'en so, only Andre can answer this, not you I'm afraid. Plus WP policy is not gospel (WP:IAR) and liable to change, I thought it deletable by the deletion policy.Knucmo2 22:05, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Article has been redirected to Keith Jarrett. If you don't think the redirect is necessary, tag it with rfd Soltak | Talk 21:30, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
