Talk:Gear First

Deletion
Because of the edit war, I thought we might do better using the talk page. Personally, I think this redirect shouldn't be deleted because people actually use this, and if they use it, then the redirect, by all means, should be kept. 16:02, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Nobody at all uses this. It should not exist because people do not use it. SeaTerror (talk) 16:04, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Calu stated clearly in the chat that she use it. 16:05, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

I want proof of these instances of use. Links and such. Galaxy9000 (talk) 16:06, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Here is one: User blog:Monkey.D.Me/What Is GEAR 1 ?????. 16:08, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

A monkey d. me blog? Pick a real source. Galaxy9000 (talk) 16:09, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

It's still legit, Gal. And blogs are real sources too. 16:10, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

That is somebody asking what it is and not actually calling it that. Plus it says Gear 1 and not Gear First. SeaTerror (talk) 16:12, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Wtf? Seriously? Not all redirects have to be in articles, we keep some that aren't in articles too. People use it in the search bar too, such as I do because it's much easier to type in the search bar instead of "Gomu Gomu no Mi". 16:13, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

All you have to enter in the search bar is Gomu. SeaTerror (talk) 16:15, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

This is what I found, ST:  16:17, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I got the same result, and I hate it when it goes to the search results instead. 16:19, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

I was obviously talking about the drop down list. Plus the first hit is the Gomu Gomu no Mi page. SeaTerror (talk) 16:20, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

I don't get the drop down list anymore for some odd reason and I have to type the entire thing instead. Some people prefer to go right to the page instead of the search result. 16:24, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

I've seen plenty of forum posts that refer to Luffy's normal powers as "Gear First". No, I'm not going to provide evidence because posts like those are old and hard to find. People are still calling it Gear First today. Why? Because it's an easy way to refer to Luffy's normal powers instead of just "the normal Gomu-Gomu powers". There is no reason at all to delete this. 19:10, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

I don't see why we should delete any of the redirects. They don't hurt the wikia. All you guys want are edits. Seriously. 12:03, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, if you edit something that is deleted, the edit will not count. Period. So we're not edit whoring, sort of. All we are doing is deleting redirects we think no one use. Gear First is a redirect people definitely use, therefore it shouldn't be deleted. 13:08, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
