The nominated redirect was
All deleted. Having the red links means it is more likely people will notice they have included the punctuation in the link name and fix it when adding to an article. --

- Neutral, but note that this particular punctuation is plausible (but with
double quotes, rather than
single quotes as
scare quotes). —

The nominated redirect was
redirected to
pneumonic device after that redirect was stubbed.

Very misleading. "Pneumonic" has to do with breath; "mnemonic" has to do with memory. A pneumonic device would be somthing like a respirator or a ventilator, but the phrase doesn't seem used that way at all.

- I had not begun this page; however, I do advocate that there would be some sort of

- Delete. This should not redirect to "Mnemonic" directly, as this is not correct. I'm not sure if Wikipedia is designed as a guide for the linguistically perplexed, but if so, a stub article should be inserted here indicating that the phrase "pneumonic devices" is at times erroneously used instead of "
mnemonic devices". A simple redirect provides no obvious indication to the reader that the phrase is wrong, and would give rise to the impression that it is some sort of valid alternative. Finally, as the words have different pronunciations, I'm not sure if they are actually homophones. -

- Keep as a "spelling-mistake" redirect. We have thousands of such redirects. The existence of the redirect for a misspelling does not imply an endorsement of the mistake, merely a correction of it. However, it probably should be tagged with {{
R from misspelling}}.

- Comment this term actually includes devices like the iron lung, being that it basically means breathing devices. While redirects from misspelling are OK, we don't want redirects from misspellings that actually spell another term for which we have information in some article.

- You can't withdraw a nomination after discussion has started. You can, however, for nominations which have no comments (see
Wikipedia:Speedy keep). Of course, you can always change your mind.

- As this is a RfD, if
User:BigNate37 would just change the redirect to his copy, the closing admin would probably close the matter as moot. —

- I'll wait for the discussion to continue (or stagnate) for a bit, and then if there are no serious objections I'll close this (you don't need to be an admin) as outside the purview of RfD and take it to requested pagemoves (there is already two editors in the history for my prototype, so GFDL mandates that this is not a copy-paste job).
