Davey2010 has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Category currently redirects to Transportation and although it is a valid category we already have specific transportation category so IMHO it's better off deleted, Thanks –Davey2010^Talk 21:12, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

• Why wouldn't we want this to redirect to Category:Transport? StevenJ81 (talk) 21:25, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Because it gives the false impression it is a category when it's not ?, And because it's not what a category was designed to do either. –Davey2010^Talk 21:36, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

I don't understand what you mean. This page is a category. Redirecting it to a non-category doesn't imply that the target page is also a category, it's just a cross-namespace redirect, (although a bad one). --Auntof6 (talk) 22:29, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

• Keep, with corrected target. I have changed the target to what it should have been in the first place. This was an obvious mistake that didn't really need discussion. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:29, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

• Auntof6 - Unfortunately I'm not a mindreader and so atleast to me it wasn't obvious at all, That being said had I known Transport existed I would've just redirected myself but as I said I didn't know if it was intentional or not so figured it deserved a discussion, In that case could you do the honours yet again I shan't make this a habit I promise :), –Davey2010^Talk 22:43, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
