Why did you create a redirect for "Dancie"? I can't see any obvious reason from a look at Diancie's page...

When you find a miscapitalized redirect, you probably don't want to just change the redirect to the delete template. In particular, if someone might lazily search the term in all lowercase and hit that redirect/page, we'd really rather they're not stuck on a page that just says "Delete me"; it's much better if it can continue to function as a redirect until it's properly deleted. (And to a lesser extent, this also applies to any mix of capitalization.) My solution is usually to just put the delete template on the talk page; this has worked fine in the past for me. | |||
Also, I think if you put something like "delete" in the edit comment, it might catch staff's attention quicker. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 13:13, 2 November 2015 (UTC) | |||
