[edit] Tryanny

Appears to be a joke. There are two references to establish this entry. The first gives the definition, not of tryanny, but of "tryanny of numbers", which is almost certainly a typo for tyranny of numbers. In fact, the link to the glossary page shows tyranny, not tryanny.

The second reference is to the title of an article by Henry Kissinger, where the body of the article refers to tyranny.

There is nothing to support it is anything but a typo for tyranny.

• Delete, after some googling I agree with the nomination. Kappa 00:28, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Tyrant. This article should be regarded as a typo for tyranny which in turn redirects to Tyrant. Zzyzx11 | Talk 00:33, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Tyrant. Megan1967 01:47, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• dleete. Any two letters in any word may be occasionally swapped. Even though Wikipedia is not paper IMO even yahoo servers will not house all posile typo redirects. Also, no reason to encourage dyslexics. Mikkalai 04:41, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect. It is unreasonable to expect people to make loads of redirects for every possible typo, but such redirects can be useful. Sjakkalle 09:19, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Redirects are cheap. Deletion would be harmless too, however. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 14:19, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Redirects are cheap. Rossami (talk) 02:24, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Redirects are appropriate for likely misspellings, particularly when it would be difficult for the user to know the correct spelling. Tyops on the other hand, don't belong as redirects. Following this to its conclusion would require quite a few redirs for tyrrany alone: ytrrany, tryanny, tyarny, tyrrnay, tyrrayn. Quale 10:22, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
