"wichita falls"

There's already Wichita Falls, with obviously a ton more content. Should be deleted. RidG (talk) 01:55, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Merge and Redirect. I think this would be more appropriate, given that there is a tiny, tiny bit of information in the candidate article. Bratsche ^(talk) 02:08, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Now that the merge is done, I change my vote to Delete, since it's true that no one is going to search with the quotes. Bratsche ^(talk) 03:03, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge is done now. I say Delete the redirect, it's not useful (lowercase and in quotes). -- Curps 02:22, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, noone is going to punctuate a search that way--nixie 02:33, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete;not a useful redirect. Jgm 03:01, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, concur with Jgm. Megan1967 03:41, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Unfortunately, people do punctuate their searches that way. They think that the search box in Wikipedia works in the way that search boxes at web sites commonly do, including having the widespread syntax for searching for whole phrases. Equally unfortunately, now that content from this article has been merged by Curps into Wichita Falls, it cannot be deleted without violating the requirements of the GFDL to retain full author attribution. (See WP:GVFD#Editing_an_article_nominated_for_deletion.) Redirect. Uncle G 12:53, 2005 Mar 9 (UTC)
• Redirect, like G said. Also, redirects are cheap. sjorford →•← 15:33, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Move over Wichita Falls (which has no history) and redirect from there. —Korath (Talk) 00:03, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Excellent solution! Uncle G 17:23, 2005 Mar 11 (UTC)
• Delete. It's not a useful redirect punctuated like that. Jonathunder 04:18, 2005 Mar 11 (UTC)
• Delete, no redirect. Neutrality^talk 00:04, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
