- Delete. This is a misspelling of portmanteau. - Lev 19:50, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Why not Redirect and Merge!TAS 20:01, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC) It is a redirect? Then delete TAS 09:05, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)- We could just redirect it. (Is it a likely enough misspelling that someone else might make it?) -Aranel ("Sarah") 20:02, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect. Common misspelling is not a reason for deletion. --Andylkl 20:42, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)
- It is a redirect. But why encourage misspelling? If someone links there and the link is blue, people will see it and think this is the correct spelling. Anyway, common (?) misspelling is not a reason for keeping. - Lev 21:50, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Lev, please read Wikipedia:Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. Zzyzx11 01:56, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Oh no, I've just created a redirect mispeling -> misspelling ;-) Lev 20:39, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Delete; I support Lev's argument for not making it a redirect. Thue | talk 22:07, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep as redirect and take redirects to wikipedia:redirects for deletion. Kappa 01:57, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Turns up 208 googles, which goes to show for the average American's speling skilz. As such, keep as redirect. Radiant! 02:06, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep as the redirect it is now. —Mar·ka·ci:2005-03-13 05:52 Z
- Why encourage laziness? All of our articles should be coded numerically and our users should be required to own Wikipedia card files. Keep the redirect. Articles should be easy to find, even for spelling bee rejects. Rhobite 06:01, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep present redirect - David Gerard 14:03, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Policy is to keep common misspellings. Eric119 22:22, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep as the redirect it is now. It's likely a common misspelling. Jonathunder 22:30, 2005 Mar 13 (UTC)
- Redirect if possible. ComCat 09:12, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
