- And what, we might hurt it's feelings? I don't think it's offensive. In fact, this is a plausible search term and will direct people to the topic they're likely to want.Keep. And protect, whether deleted or not. --UsaSatsui (talk)00:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- POV is no reason for deleting a redirect. While I wouldn't be shedding any tears over its loss should it be deleted, deleting the redirect as an "attack page" would be stretching things a bit.Keep.B.Wind (talk)03:27, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment POV is not a reason by itself to delete a redirect if people are going to use those words to look for an article --Enric Naval (talk)17:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I actually think that many people would think of searching for this. Even though it would be mostly trolls, I still think many people would find it useful.The Dominator (talk)22:32, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I think that's fairly likely that people will be searching for this. --Liempt (talk)06:32, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep plausible search term and accurate enough description of target. –Pomte18:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

21:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]This is a redirect page, nothing links to it, it's unlikely that someone would search for an article under the specific name "PBX/IPBX", and it was added by someone who was in the midst of a spamming rampage and in conjunction with it.Largo Plazo (talk)21:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete redirects forPBX andIPBX already exist as redirects that point to different articles, and I have created wikiliks between those two articles.
A better wikilinking between them is probably necessary (I don't know how to put "did you mean" at the top of each article to signal this better. Nah, I looked at them a bit more and there are good like this. At most, a "did you mean IPBX" at the top ofPrivate branch exchange --Enric Naval (talk)17:18, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. 5,000Ghits seems sufficient to warrant having the term redirect. Just because it's creation may have been sketchy is not a good reason to delete an otherwise valid redirect--redirects are [generally] harmless and cheap. From the intro ofWikipedia:Redirects for discussion: "Note: Redirects should not be deleted simply because they do not have any incoming links. Please do not list this as a reason to delete a redirect."--there's multiple reasons why it says that.Shawisland (talk)07:51, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not modify it.Follow-up note: I mentioned the fact that nothing was linked to the redirect page, not as a reason to remove it but to note that its removal wouldn't break anything. —Largo Plazo (talk)16:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
