Well duh.

Another redirect to a special page. Precedent seems to indicate that these should be deleted, as none of them work due to technical restraints (i.e., typing in the shortcut dumps you at the actual redirect page instead of the target). I see no reason to redirect a talk page to Special:Contributions anyway. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Many otters • One hammer • HELP)} 16:10, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Unless there's a forthcoming reason to delete this page, which I doubt there will be, it should just be reverted or blanked. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 16:15, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

. From

: "Articles, including redirects, whose titles are either all initial caps or only first word capitalised are found via "Go" using a case-insensitive match." –

deletion: AKAGI is a capitalization of the main article's name. This redirect serves no functional purpose, but it does take up a slot in the pop-up search box BigbossSNK (talk) 15:43, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I don't see a compelling reason to delete this. It's a redirect from alternate capitalization (in this case, if you had a Minitel terminal that only supported CAPS...) 76.66.202.139 (talk) 03:59, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• The search function already takes care of that concern, 76.66.202.139. If you search for an item and it isn't present exactly as you specified, WP will try CAPS variants. The address bar also redirects you to the search function if the specific title isn't found. Moreover, the current redirect points to the Manga, whereas there is a 7 item disambiguation page. All in all, the search function is more efficient for this.BigbossSNK (talk) 08:05, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a no-longer required transitional redirect from the period when AM and FM stations had individual templates. This one is especially problematic due to the potential for confusion between Portland, Maine, and Portland, Oregon, and this re-directs ambiguous name.
