Not helpful typo of List AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:32, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Keep per WP:CHEAP and WP:R#KEEP bullet 2. --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:28, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Also, WP:CHEAP isn't a Wikipedia policy, and WP:R#KEEP doesn't state anything about misspellings. Zhangj1079 (T|C) 12:43, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, lst is not a common or frequent misspelling of list. Zhangj1079 (T|C) 12:45, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Reply - If someone forgets to type the "L", or the keystroke does not work, then the "L" will be missed. Also, WP:R#KEEP states "They would aid accidental linking and make the creation of duplicate articles less likely, whether by redirecting a plural to a singular, by redirecting a frequent misspelling to a correct spelling, by redirecting a misnomer to a correct term, by redirecting to a synonym, etc. In other words, redirects with no incoming links are not candidates for deletion on those grounds because they are of benefit to the browsing user. Some extra vigilance by editors will be required to minimize the occurrence of those frequent misspellings in the article texts because the linkified misspellings will not appear as broken links." --Jax 0677 (talk) 14:18, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This would clutter searches for many of the items in Ist AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:18, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Just realized that the first letter is a capital "i". "ist" is not so much a plausible misspelling as "Lst" is. (However, I wouldn't support the existence of "Lst" redirect either.) Steel1943 (talk) 01:16, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. To be redirect-worthy, a misspelling needs to be much more plausible than that. – Uanfala 21:10, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Ist of educational institutions in Kerala → List of institutions of higher education in Kerala  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This isn't helpful to have aliases for typos of List AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:30, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Keep per WP:CHEAP and WP:R#KEEP bullet 2. --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:28, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Just realized that the first letter is a capital "i". "ist" is not so much a plausible misspelling as "Lst" is. (However, I wouldn't support the existence of "Lst" redirect either.) Steel1943 (talk) 01:16, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per comments in the discussion above: this is not a frequent misspelling. – Uanfala 21:11, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Ist of shippuden episodes → List of Naruto: Shippuden episodes  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

typo of List, not helpful. List of shippuden episodes already exists AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:29, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - This doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of being looked up as is. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:47, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Keep per WP:CHEAP and WP:R#KEEP bullet 2. --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:28, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why would accidental linking help here? There are no other "ist of" Lists worth keeping. The only currently listed one is someone's random page and ones related to this RFD. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:27, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Reply - @Knowledgekid87:, "L" and "i" are on the same side of the keyboard. If someone forgets to type the "L", or the keystroke does not work, then the "L" will be missed. Also, WP:R#KEEP states "They would aid accidental linking and make the creation of duplicate articles less likely, whether by redirecting a plural to a singular, by redirecting a frequent misspelling to a correct spelling, by redirecting a misnomer to a correct term, by redirecting to a synonym, etc. In other words, redirects with no incoming links are not candidates for deletion on those grounds because they are of benefit to the browsing user.

Just saying but the letters "I" and "S" are also on opposite sides of the keyboard. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:07, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per Knowledgekid87. Zhangj1079 (T|C) 12:52, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
