Why is Chinatown, Algonquin an inappropriate redirect. I seriously believe that this page should redirect rather than be deleted. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 01:11, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- There are two purposes for a redirect. One is so that people can find pages which have been moved/renamed. The second is for shortcuts (eg GTASA = GTA San Andreas, FA = Featured Articles). The other is for common typos. Nobody is going to type this page name by accident. If you want to link to Chinatown in Liberty city, link to Chinatown, Algonquin, or Chinatown, Liberty City (or just Chinatown which has the disambig). We can't go round making redirects for every single possible combination of words. This page will be deleted. Gboyers talk 01:37, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
