- Keep or... - I don't find this a particularly implausible typo. Creating the possessive of words can be problematic and there is no reason why a searcher might not get this one wrong. However, even if not plausible, it does not meet any criterion of WP:RFD#DELETE. There is, however, a more important issue. There is also a redirect Women's Alliance (Iceland). This party is not mentioned in the article and I haven't been able to source a clear connection though, admittedly, I haven't explored sources in Icelandic! Unless a reason for these redirects can be shown then they both should be deleted as confusing. I have added the alternative to this nomination so that they can both be considered together.

- Comment - there are also some redirects from Icelandic Samtök um kvennalista, Kvennalistinn, and some alternative spellings. I don't speak Icelandic, but kvenna is women, and lista is list. There is nothing implying alliance. (As a side note: since I just went over all occurrences of "womens" I have the exact numbers. There are 182 redirects from misspellings of "women's". 158 of which are "womens", 23 are "womens'" and just one is "womens's". So I believe it is implausible, and falls under rule 8 of WP:RFD#DELETE. But Bridgeplayer's point is stronger anyway delete both) --Muhandes (talk) 17:58, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
