*Maple bats already get a passing mention under [[baseball bat]], which is all they need. '''Delete'''. [[User:Agentsoo|Agentsoo]] 16:10, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per above. -[[User:Soltak|Soltak]] 16:29, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

*'''Redirect''' to [[Baseball bat]]. [[User:DoubleBlue|<fontspan colorstyle="color:darkblue;">'''Double'''</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:blue;">Blue</fontspan>]] ([[User talk:DoubleBlue|Talk)]] 17:34, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

*'''Redirect''' per above. [[User:Feydey|feydey]] 21:24, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. Redirecting to [[Baseball bat]] too much like a free advertisement for my taste. [[Irish Spring]] doesn't redirect to [[Soap]], and [[Brawny]] doesn't redirect to [[Paper towels]], nor should they.

**Could you please explain. I don't follow your logic. If someone actually searches for "Maxbats" they can either get nothing from wikipedia or they can get directed to a page about baseball bats in general. From my perspective, it seems helpful to have the redirect. People will not even know the redirect exists unless they particularly look for it so I don't see how we are advertising for them.

*'''Delete'''. It's advertising. --[[User:Carnildo|Carnildo]] 22:30, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
