This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 1, 2011

Delete. Article appears to be an artifact from an earlier merge. Rail gun (lower case g) already exists.

Comment: We have Rail gun with 47 links and Railgun with 230 links. Rail Gun has 5 links, user, talk page, and a Stargate AfD. Rail Gun (upper case G) seems superfluous since Rail gun (lower case g) already exists. A user would have to deliberately type the upper case G to select that redirect. --UnicornTapestry (talk) 01:57, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because it's an artifact of an old merger. It documents the contribution history of content which was merged into the target. Documentation of attribution history is a requirement of GFDL. History-merge, while theoretically possible, has its own set of problems and would do more harm than good in this case. Regarding the other arguments, redirects do far more than merely support the search engine. Those other navigational techniques are case- and spacing-sensitive. Capitalization variants like this one are among the most established uses for redirects. It would be kept even if there were no history behind it. Rossami (talk) 02:34, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
keep WP:MAD. To satisfy WP:GFDL, the edit history needs to be kept. 65.93.15.125 (talk) 05:07, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
