Now that a correctly capitalized version of the same Redirect title exists, let's delete this one with lower case "jerusalem" (the proper name of a city). The Search Bar is typically non-case-sensitive, so we don't need the incorrect version for that purpose, either. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 21:33, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per nom to allow a search of "Ancient jerusalem" to get to the user's intended target. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 06:11, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
::I don't think you can have that, User:Shhhnotsoloud. What would you think would be the user's intended target, or are you just guessing? I agree it is ridiculous to keep them when the search engine has got a bit better over the years, but WP:RCAPS still stands. It doesn't say just to avoid them but other things in MoS say actively to create them. {{-r|Ancient Jerusalem}} is to same target. You're a bit hoist with your own petard to say to allow a search for "Ancient jerusalem" when that is exactly the capitalisation of this redirect. What target would you think they intended? {{-r|Old Jerusalem}} Old City (Jerusalem)? Si Trew (talk) 19:46, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
::To be clear: Simply deleting this won't magically change the search results, it will send people by way of Ancient Jerusalem without question. Only by deleting both will someone get a "did you mean" page. Si Trew (talk) 19:52, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
::I'd prefer if perhaps {{-r|Ancient Jerusalem}} was listed here too, but I ain't the nom so hesitate to do so. Si Trew (talk) 19:53, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
:::It isn't listed because I'm in favor of the correctly capitalized Redirect. The point here is the lower case "jerusalem," not the search terms themselves. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 20:28, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
::::My point was that Aj should go to the same place as AJ which it would if the Aj redirect didn't exist. I was assuming (perhaps wrongly) that the redirect of AJ to History of Jerusalem was valid (since it's not up for discussion). Keep per user:EurekaLott below is an equally acceptable result but needs maintenance if the target of AJ moves. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 05:13, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep and tag as an {{tl|r from miscapitalization}}. It gets regular use (about a hit per day) and no valid reason for deletion has been presented. - Eureka Lott 04:37, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
::You're right! I hadn't thought of that. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 20:11, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Nomination withdrawn. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 20:12, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
