Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Off-by-one error

Off-by-one error is largely a FOLDOC stub. In the time since it's been there, someone created a duplicate article at off by one error. The title with the hyphens is the better title, but the article without the hyphens is by far the better article. Since "merging" the two would consist almost entirely of taking the contents of off by one error and pasting them over the current contents of off-by-one error, the best solution IMO is to delete off-by-one error (the FOLDOC import) and then do a history-preserving move of off by one error to its location. Summary: delete the one with hyphens, and move the one without hyphens into its current location. --Delirium 08:31, Jun 17, 2004 (UTC)

Why not do a three way move? Move o-b-o to some temp location. Move o b o to o-b-o. Then move from the temp location to o b o. 4.63.108.33
- Why not? Because we don't want to keep the current contents of o-b-o. I agree - delete o-b-o, then move o b o to o-b-o, keeping a redirect in place. -- pne 15:09, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I don't care how it's accomplished, just get o b o to the o-b-o title and remove the redundant article, whether it's by deletion or redirection. -- Cyrius|✎ 21:17, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Merge and redirect. More work needs to be done on this page to distinguish it from fencepost error (which is a specific type of obo error). - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 20:50, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)
Deleted o-b-o, moved o_b_o to it's place. Oberiko 19:17, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
