Not mentioned at the target article. Anyone looking for information about this apparent catchphrase (from CSD decline) will either already know where it's from, but fail to find more info – or not know where it's from, and be left confused why they were redirected here. –

- @
Hog Farm: I don't have HoME with me at the moment, but checking online seems to show that this particular Quenya name is a back-formation and not from Tolkien himself (it's isolated from Elerondiel "daughter of Elrond", which is claimed to appear somewhere in The Peoples of Middle-Earth). As such, I'm OK with deletion (having created the redirect myself, along with some other alternative-name redirects for Tolkien characters in the past). If we do find this in Tolkien's writings rather than fan extrapolation from his materials, we may of course restore it very easily.

Utopes (

00:34, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

- Which means it's a two-typo error just as I said, since typing "Julias Caesar" without capitals produces the "caesar" typo. I think all modern OSes have a quick and easy means of "holding" shift without physically holding it (by triple tapping it, or whatever) in the OS's accessibility settings. When I broke my wrist in 2018 I was doing this for a while myself in both Windows and macOS, though I've already forgotten the exact mechanics now. The one-handed and others using such a feature are already entirely used to have having to employ it on this site, since most of our articles with a mid-title capital letter do not have a redir with that letter in lowercase, and you can't really edit the content without using mixed case. So, we probably do not need to give a "free pass" for capitalization errors as if non-errors when thinking of redir utility, and we've pretty often deleted such two-error redirs before. "Julius caesar" and "Julias Caesar" are each plausible typos but "Julias caesar" isn't by our usual reckoning. If we want to change the reckoning to say capitalization errors don't qualify as errors, we should codify it somewhere and do it consistently. —

- Perhaps, but why do we need to expect that everybody capitalizes their proper nouns in the search box when most users already know that the software automatically corrects the capitalization for them. I would consider a typo to be a spelling mistake on the fault of the searcher, but not capitalizing "caesar" is not necessarily the searcher's "fault". I would agree that "JUlias Caesar" should be deleted, as the capital "U" is a typo and therefore not plausible. "JuLiaS Caesar" is far worse. However, in this instance where the subject is two words, the second word was left uncapitalized, and the user made an honest typo with "Julias". If you strictly consider the fact that the redirect has two differences from the actual page title, then I can see why you would say delete here, as there are two or more errors. I personally don't judge the lack of capitalization to be a typo, which is why I say keep, but that's just me.

- Delete. Either the spelling error or the capitalization error is plausible, but both not so much; the page views almost certainly resulted from the fact that the redirect pops up when you start to type it with the wrong spelling. The correct capitalization pops up if you start to type it this way, so this rather improbable redirect seems unnecessary.

Wolfe (surname) might seem like a good idea, but I wouldn't recommend it as the list there doesn't contain information about whether any the Wolfes in question had the Sr. suffix or not (related questions being whether it would be appropriate to include that information in the first place, and whether we should encourage readers to search using such terms). –

- Delete. This did redirect to "Howdy" for most of its existence until a bot "fixed" a double redirect to "Italy", presumably because someone made a bogus redirect from "howdy"->"Italy". (This is why bots shouldn't be fixing double redirects, or should at least wait to make sure it isn't a BS redirect). But it's a misleading redirect; nothing uses it, and on the off chance that someone is looking for information on this more specific phrase, they're not going to find anything at the "Howdy" article. Same goes for the alternate spelling redirect of "Howdy pardner", which should also be deleted. As a side note,
{{
R from catchphrase}}
is wholly inappropriate, since the article doesn't mention that this is anyone's catchphrase. –
