Malmoe
This seems to be advertising/vanity for a non-notable publication. This "newspaper" is "available for free in bars and clubs all over Austria". Even though I belong to its target group, I've never heard of it. Martg76 12:12, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Malmö --Angr/(comhrá) 05:31, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Austria, possibly under the 'miscellaneous topics' section. Don't redirect to Malmö (it is not related to the city of Malmö in Sweden). Paradiso 06:52, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * There's nothing wrong with merging with one page and redirecting to another. However, this article still shouldn't be redirectered to Malmö, because unlike German, Swedish does not use "oe" as an alternative to "ö". "Ö" is "ö" is "ö" and no two ways about it.   &mdash; J I P | Talk 12:34, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Malmö. Not everyone is able to write "ö" using keyboard. "oe" is a standard ASCII replacement. Grue 07:26, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Keep in mind that, despite sounding the same, this article has nothing to do with Malmö. Paradiso 07:33, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. I stand by my vote above. Malmoe should be a redirect to Malmö because (1) not everyone knows that Swedish ö cannot be expanded to oe (as German ö can), and (2) even if they do know, not everyone can conveniently type ö, as Grue pointed out. The fact that the article under discussion is not about Malmö is irrelevant. The magazine Malmoe is IMO not notable enough for a merger with Austria. --Angr/(comhrá) 14:14, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
