As Llanos is only mentioned in the Blanco article, I'm not sure this merits a redirect. I just added Llanos to "List of botanists..." and think that having him "red-linked" there serves as a placeholder for a future botanist article on him. Declangi (talk) 01:35, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. If Llanos is notable enough for an article to be written about him, then it can be written by converting the redirect to an article. The target article was originally translated from Spanish Wikipedia, and Llanos was not then mentioned.  There are already many red links on the botanist list.  Would a Llanos article swim?... or sink. –   Paine Ellsworth   C LIMAX ! 14:40, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete-Normally I favor keeping this kind of redirect, but in this case the connection is extremely tangential. Reason for deleting a redirect number ten applies. --Fyre2387 (talk • contribs) 22:00, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:REDLINK. --BDD (talk) 16:26, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Duplication of the redirect MOS:INTRO due to incorrect capitalization. MOS, not mos, is the correct form for this cross-namespace redirect. &#8239;Senator2029 ➔ “Talk”&#8239; 01:22, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:SHORTCUT -- should be allcaps -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 05:03, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. There are only 19 like this and all can be deleted. If any MOS: (or WP:) is typed into a search field using lowercase instead of uppercase, the software still takes one to the target of the uppercase shortcut (unless there is a lowercase redirect to a different target), so lowercase shortcuts like this are unnecessary.  The small, underlying problem/challenge is that if an editor tries to link to a shortcut using lowercase letters, they get a, so they create a redirect:
 * [[MOS:ABBR]] ←→ [[mos:abbr]]
 * [[WP:MOSABBR]] ←→ [[wp:mosabbr]]
 * [[CAT:CCSD]] ←→ [[cat:ccsd]]
 * [[MOS:INTRO]] ←→ [[mos:intro]]
 * ...are examples of this. –  Paine Ellsworth   C LIMAX ! 14:06, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
