Group nomination for extremely unlikely misspellings. "Chano" has nothing whatsoever to do with the game and was probably created by a vandal. Eric Sandholm 02:26, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep gild wars, delete chano, don't really care about the rest. :) — xDanielx T/C 07:37, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep all except for "Chano". Unlikely but possible typos--Phoenix-wiki (talk · contribs) 10:31, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- Possible how? They appear mostly like vandalism to me. Certainly not a single one of them is a common in-game way of referring to the game; if you don't believe me, you can check for yourself on the ultra-detailed GuildWiki that documents every possible in-game jargon. Do we redirect Gee Dhubya, Gee Dbuya, Gee Dubs, Geedbya and Gi Dubwoo to George W. Bush? No. Eric Sandholm 16:20, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
- Retarget Chano to Hannah (Bible). It is a variant transliteration of the Hebrew. (Note: In 2004, this page pointed correctly but it lost context when the target was moved in 2005. Then the page was vandalized starting in Aug 2007. Optional temp delete to purge the vandalism out of pagehistory if you want.)
Delete Geewahs, Gee Wahs, Gee Wahrs and Gee Whars. Those redirects were created by a user whose other contributions show a history of hoaxes and vandalism.
Keep Gild wars as a plausible typo created in good-faith. Rossami (talk) 22:06, 29 October 2007 (UTC) - Keep Gild wars as a plausible typo and tag with {{r from misspelling}}; retarget Chano per Rossami; delete the rest. – Black Falcon (Talk) 23:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I think I'll SNOWball "gild wars" that seems to be a unanimous keep. Eric Sandholm 03:41, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
