Suggestion to delete.

Erwin Madelung suggested a deletion of this page with the motivation:

As of the style guide, the page should be Marauders and not Marauder. The only link to this page is in a personal namespace, see Special:WhatLinksHere/Marauder. Thus this page isn't needed but if you start to enter "Marauders" into the search the autocomplete will give you this page over the correct one.
  • "As of the style guide, the page should be Marauders and not Marauder." This is correct, but as Marauder is a redirect to Marauders, not relevant for the decision to delete or not. The content is on the correct page.
  • "if you start to enter "Marauders" into the search the autocomplete will give you this page over the correct one." As Marauder is a redirect to Marauders it leads to the same content so both entries lead to the correct article.
  • The redirect is to a closely related word form, such as a plural form to a singular form. See: Wikipedia:wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect#Reasons_for_not_deleting

See also: Wikipedia:wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect#Do_not_"fix"_links_to_redirects_that_are_not_broken Reasons not to bypass redirects include.

Marauder is a redirect, singular to plural. That is a legitimate reason for a redirect. After consultation with Arin Mara the decision has been taken to not delete. --Evon R'al (talk) 10:10, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
