Warsaw/Wilnaow

 * Delete. The article has been moved to its proper name and this redirection is useless. (WT-en) CandleWithHare 19:02, 18 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Delete. (WT-en) Tim 23:59, 19 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Keep. If CWH, a Varsovian, can misspell the name of the district I'm inclined to believe non-Poles or non-Polish speaking visitors could also misspell the name and have the redirect may save someone time. -- (WT-en) Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 00:02, 20 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Actually, it was you, not me, who misspelt the title (next time please check your facts). Maybe that explains your affectionate attitude for it but if it stays then we should also all add the other permutations that can also save some lazy person some time: Wlianow Wlianów Wialnow Wialnów Wilnaów Wilaonw Wilaónw Wilanwo Wilanwó and the same for all the other districts in the main namespace and in Warsaw/* and then Warszawa/*. It makes no sense and I don't get it: you were quick to suggest deleting some articles that actually had some useful information in them and now you are defending this.
 * BTW The proper way to handle it would be to install some MediaWiki extension that would find and show similar article titles for non-existing articles. (WT-en) CandleWithHare 09:04, 20 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Who misspelled it isn't important, but my point about how easy it is to misspell names is valid. -- (WT-en) Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 09:57, 20 August 2006 (EDT)
 * I agree with this but what I mean is that the proper way to fix it is by having something for MediaWiki as mod_speling is for Apache. (WT-en) CandleWithHare 10:53, 20 August 2006 (EDT)


 * Redirect. The deletion policy is pretty clear about misspellings being kept as redirects. -- (WT-en) Ryan 04:11, 21 August 2006 (EDT)
