Lycopods

This article is redundant to the article on the genus Lycopodium. I have merged the information from Lycopods into Lycopodium. I'm not sure what the best way to handle this is, but perhaps a redirect should be left in place to get people from lycopod(s) to the Lycopodium article. —HorsePunchKid→龜 02:27, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

speedy keep. Thank you for doing merging; this is a thankless task that we are way behind on. After merging, we almost always keep the redirect, since we need to keep around the history, and because the existence of duplicate articles strongly suggests the usefulness of such a redirect. So, this should certainly be kept. (Also, as a matter of process, we handle the deleting of redirects at RfD rather than AfD). — brighterorange (talk) 03:08, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Redirected. Thanks for merging. D. G. 03:09, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying the process. I was never very familiar with the deletion process, but it seems like ever since this AfD overhaul, the amount of text describing the process has increased dramatically. I gues this is what I was looking for. :) —HorsePunchKid→龜 03:31, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
