- Just for the record: redirects aren't articles, and MoS doesn't really apply.--Fyre2387 ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:03, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep-~~First off, the nominator has given no argument whatsoever.~~ Assuming deletion is being advocated, I'd still say keep, as this seems a plausible enough search term; I'm frankly a little surprised it was only created two days ago.--Fyre2387 ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:46, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I doubt anyone would actually search for this string. The practice of surrounding Muhammad's name with honorifics doesn't reasonably extend to indices.—Kww(talk) 19:58, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, possibly retargetted. Creating a redirect including honorifics is not the best use of editors' time but once it has been created, there is zero benefit to deleting it. Redirects really are that cheap. This one does no harm that I can see. The Manual of Style recommends removal of that honorific from article content but also goes to the trouble of defining the acronym. For readers lacking that knowledge (and perhaps lacking the context to figure it out), the redirect points them to the correct page. Though perhaps Muhammad in Islam#Names and titles of praise would be even better. Rossami (talk) 22:28, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"The secret Annexe" could refer to anything, and redirecting to Anne Frank House isn't what I redirect should be for. ⇒T A P 20:59, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, or redirect to Secret Annex. It "could" refer to anything, but there is no other Wikipedia article to which it could refer, except possibly the other entry in the dab page at Secret Annex, though that seems to be stretching a point! Note that a collection of Ann Frank's writings was published as Tales from the Secret Annex. PamD 23:26, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I've renamed it to The Secret Annexe anyway, capital "S". PamD 23:32, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Down to the 5th page of google book and web hits for "The secret annexe" and "secret annex" as set phrases, every single result relates to Anne Frank's house. So much so that I don't think the dab page is the primary topic for the version without the definite article. I've fixed the resulting double-redirect and listed the capitalised version above as whatever the outcome of this discussion, it should apply to both).
