Ambiguous slang, searching indicates this is most commonly used as an insult. This does not seem useful.

I am not convinced that country redirects misspelled in American accents are useful aids for navigation. These do not appear to be widespread misspellings, google turns up 52 results for "Indanesia", 172 results for "Frence" and 38 results for "Pakisten" (note that you need to click through to the end of results 4-20 pages in, the numbers on the first page of search results seem to be wildly inaccurate). Delete.

- Redirect to
Little Simz That redirect came after
this edit where I saw
Age 101 Music redirecting to the same place, and finding nothing else named Age 101 on site, I figured it'd be useful to have. Looking now, I see that Age 101 is Little Simz' independent label, with multiple mentions in her article, so redirecting both there would make the most sense.

"WikiText" is a spelling mistake and another redirect with the right spelling "Wikitext" already exists. I edited the 3 articles using "WikiText" and changed their wikilinks to "Wikitext". A specific problem for editors is when they add a link with the VisualEditor, Wikipedia will only suggest "WikiText redirect" (when typing "wikitext or Wikitext", you should have two suggestions: "WikiText redirect" and "Wikitext redirect"). Same result for users using the search bar from Wikipedia (with Vector skin). In the end, everybody will think that "WikiText" is a right spelling, and it is not!

- @
Antoine Legrand: Since this is (I think) your first RfD, I'd suggest taking a look at
WP:R#KEEP: We usually don't delete redirects just for being misspellings, as long as it's a plausible misspelling. That said, this isn't a misspelling, just an old one. In
Ward Cunningham's
WikiWikiWeb, all page titles were written in
CamelCase, so something like "WikiText" was a totally valid title. Wikipedia originally used
UseModWiki, the same software that WikiWikiWeb used, so a) we have a lot of older redirects that use CamelCase (we even have a template and category for them; see {{
r from CamelCase}}), and b) for any basic wiki-related term, a CamelCase title will often be a valid alternate spelling (i.e. not a typo), as is the case here. Thus, I suggest we keep. --

- @
Tamzin: my main concern was not the CamelCase writing even if it is right that I began by saying that "WikiText" was misspelled.
- In fact, I ask for this RfD because of:
- Virtual editing: editors using "Add a link" and typing "wikite.." will only be suggested "WikiText" (among 14 suggestions in the drop-down list, why is "Wikitext" not suggested???). If they type exactly "wikitext" both "Wikitext" and "WikiText" will appear!!!
-
Wikipedia search drop-down list: users typing "wikite.." will only have as suggestion "WikiText" (among 10 suggestions in the drop-down list, why is "Wikitext" not suggested???). If they type exactly "wikitext" both "Wikitext" and "WikiText" will appear!!!
- Maybe you will answer me that there are some sorts of technical limitations in the search engine (like predominance of upper case) but my main objective is to find a solution and thus to delete "WikiText" so that "Wikitext" pops up always in the results!
- Thus, if due to technical limitations I can only have one suggestion, I prefer "Wikitext" to "WikiText" ("Wikitext redirect page": used by 980 pages on Wikipedia; "WikiText redirect page": used by 9 pages on Wikipedia).

- Keep as a useful {{
R from alternate capitalisation}}. CamelCase names are very commonly used in programming and a google search shows a decent number of sites using this spelling. The arguments about visual editor and search results are not convincing in my view, with the search results it doesn't matter which one you click because they both take you to the same place, and with editing it is the responsibility of the editor to ensure they insert the right link, we wouldn't delete all {{
R from misspelling}}'s because someone might insert them accidentally. This receives a substantial number of page views (500+ in the last year) so evidently it's of use to readers.

- Keep per Tamzin. Also, in general I don't believe capitalization alone (if not completely random like WikitExt) is reason enough to delete a redirect.
