• Troposhere → Troposphere (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Article originally created with a typo (cf. article history). It currently redirects to correctly spelled article but this is an unlikely typo. Would it be possible to check the hit counts of the typo article to confirm it is not often used? Xionbox^₪ 11:28, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I concur that it was originally created as an accidental fork of an existing article. On the other hand, it has existed since 2002 without creating harm or controversy and the stats counter shows it getting a very steady number of hits over a long period of time. WhatLinksHere even shows some current inbound links to the title. All those suggest that the typo is rather more plausible that it first appears. Even if it weren't getting so many this though, redirects are cheap and this is doing no observable harm. Rossami (talk) 13:43, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Keeping every misspelling of every word is not productive. The proper page will be found every time with or without this redir. Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:36, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep {{R from typo}} , this is not an unlikely typo, I see sphere misspelled as "shere" and "spere" , so I don't see anything that unlikely about it. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 04:33, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep harmless. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:02, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
