Places in the U.S. named Palestine[edit]

Deletion is not the last step of an article merger. Redirect. —Korath (Talk) 16:45, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
Korath is right. Come on! Be bold and redirect. Mgm|^(talk) 17:40, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
- A redirect page is used to guide the user when typing an abbreviation, an other name or a misspelling of an article into the search box (see Wikipedia:Redirect). I can hardly imagine that someone will type a title this long with respect of punctuation. Also, this redirect will be wrong, because it won't redirect to a page with the same subject. 500LL 18:57, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
  - It's also how we preserve author attribution and edit history after a merge, a requirement of the GFDL. —Korath (Talk) 01:27, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
Redirect, someone might have a bookmark or link from another site to it. --SPUI (talk) 00:00, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Seems like an obvious case for a redirect. Had that been done, it would have prevented unnecessary VFD bloat. JYolkowski 01:30, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
