Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2024 April 20
Plausible typo ("R" and "T" are next to one another on a QWERTY keyboard) which was speedy deleted without proper discussion. --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- No opinion as to the speedies (unclear which is being contested), but wait for the RM at Talk:Indian_Motocycle_Manufacturing_Company to close and then put in the necessary redirects rather than all that have been done in the interim which will then need cleanup.

- Reply - "Indian Motortcycle Manufacturing Company" was speedy deleted, and that is the term being contested. Any resulting double redirects will likely be fixed by a bot. Also, your signature is on a different line than your response. --Jax 0677 (talk) 21:50, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, to be clear, @Zzuuzz: moved it without a redirect-essentially a deletion and @Deb: speedied it. I wasn't sure which of the two actions you were contesting. Star Mississippi 01:49, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

- In practice, very few typos can escape an R3, as opposed to misspellings and misnomers - typically only common typos are kept. Even more so when it's part of a longer title - while "motortcycle" gets a surprising number of ghits, the phrase "Indian Motortcycle Manufacturing Company" appears nowhere on the Internet except Wikipedia and its mirrors. Gripping hand, I'd be more sympathetic to this if motortcycle had ever been created. A typo does not become plausible just because you made it once. —Cryptic 02:46, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
