This is a pseudo-namespace redirect of a type that is
strongly discouraged. Unlike all the remaining 80 or so T: redirects, it doesn't go to a template namespace, and it's further confusing because it has absolutely nothing to do with either
Template:mp or
Template:Main page. Still, I wouldn't have bothered nominating it for deletion – presumably people use it so why shouldn't they? – but then I noticed that the redirect was discussed at
this 2010 RfD. The discsussion resulted in deletion, only for the redirect to be recreated a month later, and – surreally – eventually sealed with indefinite full protection, apparently to stop people from trying to get it deleted. If we're going to keep a redirect that's confusing in so many ways, we'd need an explicit consensus and evidence of significant use, neither of which I can see – it's got 80, or fewer, uses – for a shortcut to one of Wikipedia's most-popular project pages (and until
just now, one prominently advertised there) – that's a paltry number. The few people who like that sort of shortcut can instead use the straightforward and regular
WT:MP; typing one extra letter isn't too much to ask for, is it? –

Keep. The
Main Page is uniquely located (in article space but is really a portal), and T:MP was specifically exempted from the cross-namespace rules
when they were first introduced in 2009. The 2010 deletion discussion was overturned because it was never announced on
Talk:Main Page and only three people participated. I notice you haven't informed that page either. It's a useful redirect with
numerous incoming links and there doesn't seem to be any benefit to getting rid of it.

Keep Added and cited. That article is certainly on a notable topic, and it's certainly worth mentioning some of the character parodies, so I've done so there. Also, these redirects are entirely plausible search terms, and readers using them should be rewarded with a correct target as a result. This one gets 100 searches a year, for example.

This is a preparation that's used to treat chronic hepatitis in Japan, and it contains glycyrrhizin as its primary active ingredient. I had encountered some people suggesting it be used to treat COVID-19 elsewhere on the internet, and so I was looking for it on Wikipedia but didn't find anything about it, hence the redirect. I may add a reference to it in the target article thereafter.

Keep, since these are unusually plausible typos.
Pld English and
9ld English are both one character away from
Old English (and ditto for the others), but they're graphically quite different — if you just glance quickly at what you typed, you'll see the error. Conversely, O and 0 are similar enough that a brief glance might not show you your error, so while you're not more likely to make the typo, you're more likely to search for it because you're less likely to fix it.

The word for "frog" in many Slavic languages starts with ж (zhe), and so the image of a frog typically features in pictorial alphabet charts. However, as far as I know there are no stable associations between letters and words in Cyrillic (the way there are say for Thai), so the redirect doesn't really serve a purpose. The discussion referred to by 77.98.105.119 is at
Talk:Zhe (Cyrillic)#Official ж-looking frog discussion, and the image appears to be the one on the right (caption copied from article at the time).

I know for myself I will on occasion create redirects like the above to save myself from typos like that.

Keep Added and cited. That article is certainly on a notable topic, and it's certainly worth mentioning some of the character parodies, so I've done so there. Also, these redirects are entirely plausible search terms, and readers using them should be rewarded with a correct target as a result. This one gets 100 searches a year, for example.

Keep, as for Arrowroot, included at target and a plausible search term. (I must say that when I set to work to rescue the key Middle-earth articles from wholesale slaughter, I did not imagine that the task would demand the defence of this
Priapically-named character; but if we can't laugh about Tolkien then I don't know where we are.)

This is a preparation that's used to treat chronic hepatitis in Japan, and it contains glycyrrhizin as its primary active ingredient. I had encountered some people suggesting it be used to treat COVID-19 elsewhere on the internet, and so I was looking for it on Wikipedia but didn't find anything about it, hence the redirect. I may add a reference to it in the target article thereafter.

Keep, since these are unusually plausible typos.
Pld English and
9ld English are both one character away from
Old English (and ditto for the others), but they're graphically quite different — if you just glance quickly at what you typed, you'll see the error. Conversely, O and 0 are similar enough that a brief glance might not show you your error, so while you're not more likely to make the typo, you're more likely to search for it because you're less likely to fix it.

Weak retarget to

The word for "frog" in many Slavic languages starts with ж (zhe), and so the image of a frog typically features in pictorial alphabet charts. However, as far as I know there are no stable associations between letters and words in Cyrillic (the way there are say for Thai), so the redirect doesn't really serve a purpose. The discussion referred to by 77.98.105.119 is at
Talk:Zhe (Cyrillic)#Official ж-looking frog discussion, and the image appears to be the one on the right (caption copied from article at the time). It's one of those silly things that could draw a hearty chuckle, but there was no way the image could have been kept, and there's no way the redirect could be kept either. –

Keep. Inside Self-Storage is ISSN 1087-4054, published since monthly since 1991 by Informa subsidiary
Virga Publishing (apparently a freestanding company until 2014), and because Virga has no article, we need to redirect to Informa as long as we have a working redirect. (Redirecting a minor publication name to its publisher seems fine to me.) I didn't find any other publications with this name, so my deletion rationale for the ambiguous Supermarket News doesn't apply.

Comment I would first note that it isn't an implausible typo, but certainly not a common one. As the one who created the "1940-41 nhl seaosn" I have a feeling that was the case when I did that (back in 2006, so I have no recollection whatsoever). I know for myself I will on occasion create redirects like the above to save myself from typos like that. That said I don't really lean either way: I'm sure they aren't often used (I haven't looked at the stats to confirm this), but there really isn't anything lost by keeping them.
