[edit] Byzantas

Byzantas should be Byzas. I updated the Byzas page, and now am requesting Byzantas be deleted. Venice 05:26, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • I think that it should be made a redirecrt. As far as I understand it wouldn't harm having Byzantas redirect to Byzas. - Jeltz talk 10:56, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: If it's left as a redirect, you'll have people thinking it could be spelled either way. In fact, that's what I thought until I found the only place it was spelled Byzantas on the internet was this article. Venice 13:08, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • If it's true that this name isn't used anywhere else then it should be deleted- - Jeltz talk 20:51, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • No, we have lots of redirects that are misspelled. We keep redirects 1) because it preserves the attribution history - a requirement under GFDL, 2) because somebody already made the mistake - it's reasonable to assume that someone else might make the same mistake in the future and 3) redirects are cheap. Keeping it as a redirect in no way endorses the redirected title. Keep harmless redirect. Rossami (talk) 05:39, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
      • Common misspellings should be kept as redirects, not ones that are apparantly one-off mistakes. If content from Byzantas was used in Byzas, Byzantas should be moved to the talk page for Byzantas or a subpage of the talk page. --fvw* 00:38, 2005 Jan 9 (UTC)
  • Can't find any non-wikipedia Byzantas references either, delete. --fvw* 23:17, 2005 Jan 7 (UTC)
  • Byzantium is a real place, and Byzas is a real person. Byzantas isn't real and should be deleteed. --Deathphoenix 04:07, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
