Plausible typo ("R" and "T" are next to one another on a QWERTY keyboard) which was speedy deleted without proper discussion. --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No opinion as to the speedies (unclear which is being contested), but wait for the RM at Talk:Indian_Motocycle_Manufacturing_Company to close and then put in the necessary redirects rather than all that have been done in the interim which will then need cleanup.

Reply - "Indian Motortcycle Manufacturing Company" was speedy deleted, and that is the term being contested. Any resulting double redirects will likely be fixed by a bot. Also, your signature is on a different line than your response. --Jax 0677 (talk) 21:50, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, to be clear, @Zzuuzz: moved it without a redirect-essentially a deletion and @Deb: speedied it. I wasn't sure which of the two actions you were contesting. StarMississippi 01:49, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In practice, very few typos can escape an R3, as opposed to misspellings and misnomers - typically only common typos are kept. Even more so when it's part of a longer title - while "motortcycle" gets a surprising number of ghits, the phrase "Indian Motortcycle Manufacturing Company" appears nowhere on the Internet except Wikipedia and its mirrors. Gripping hand, I'd be more sympathetic to this if motortcycle had ever been created. A typo does not become plausible just because you made it once. —Cryptic 02:46, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Endorse as per Cryptic. If a typo only happened once, that means that it was possible, but not that it was plausible. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:31, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Well... It's a CSD contested by an editor in good standing, so I guess the by-the-book answer would be send it to RfD, but it sounds like there's a better/alternative way forward per Star Mississippi. I agree that possible and plausible are a pretty far stretch here, but that's for RfD, rather than a CSD or DRV. Jclemens (talk) 03:34, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I feel like people are overlooking how easy it is to accidentally create a redirect without really intending to, as it's obvious the creator of this redirect did. This particular typo can only happen when someone presses two keys simultaneously, not when someone accidentally presses the wrong key. How many people are likely to do that? Deb (talk) 10:06, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would say that the typo version was the one I deleted (or suppressed-redirect) at this title. The recreation of the redirect was a deliberate reconstruction of that typo (likely because it was linked from ANI). Incidentally I speedy-deleted Indian Mototcycle Manufacturing Company (with the 't' but without the 'r') in the same session as I did this redirect-suppress, which I see no one is complaining about. My own view is that the deletion was legitimate, and it should be endorsed without prejudice to recreation. -- zzuuzz(talk) 12:19, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reply - It is not as rare as you might think. In any event, per procedure, this likely does need to go through WP:RFD. --Jax 0677 (talk) 12:24, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
