@
Dmehus: summoned by bot. What you did was correct and uncontroversial. I read a bit about this and what we need is a Duo Bank article to add the category to, and to change the redirect to there. I didn't know before now that redirect pages can have categories - doesn't that seem unnecessary since it's going to lead to confusion or frustration if people find an entry on a category page and are then redirected? But that's a different rfc discussion.

Timtempleton, Thanks for that. Yeah, I've thought of creating a Duo Bank article, but it is not likely
notable as it generates little press coverage outside of personal finance-focused blogs. Moreover,
WP:CORPDEPTH needs to be considered in that it's doubtful there's sufficient sources on which to write more than a stub- or start-class article on Duo Bank. Ideally, I'd like to see this redirect deleted, but I doubt it'll pass RfD because Walmart Canada Bank is "mentioned on the target page," so can't see how we'd generate consensus to delete it.
I also didn't know redirect pages could be categorized, which is why I proposed deleting a couple categories. If you want, I've proposed deleting
Category:Schedule II banks in Canada since, primarily, it's consisting almost entirely of redirect pages. Feel free to add your voice of support in upmerging those pages to
Category:Banks of Canada.
(bot-invited) I also do not understand why it would be useful to categorize redirects. Perhaps the category was left over from a merge.
