The following discussion has been archived from Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion, where there was no consensus to delete this redirect. Please do not edit this discussion.
  • Wages -> Wage -- Delete because it's a redundant and unnecessary plural redirect. All pages linking to [[Wages]] have been edited to point to [[Wage]]s instead, except for the user page User:Mike martone@yahoo.com/Taxonomy DDC 300, the purpose of which I cannot discern and which also links to many many (many) other nonexistent pages. The use of simple plural->singular redirects (where [[XXX]]s will work instead) clutters the wiki and encourages sloppy linking. Chris 19:45, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep. There are literally thousands of plural redirects on Wikipedia and setting a precedent to delete them would be foolish. This one is particularly useful, since "wages" is a common form of the word "wage" and not obviously thought of as a plural. — David Remahl 20:44, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep. The above reasoning is exactly right. Rlquall 20:47, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep. Economists tend to talk about wages in the plural. - RedWordSmith 05:21, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep; please read the #When should we delete a redirect? section, above. • Benc • 09:20, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
      • OK. All y'all win.  :) I reverted it back. Chris 19:51, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
