- Question Would renaming to
Category:X-Men (TV series) episode redirects to lists be appropriate here by just upmerging the list article? Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars

- Delete -- A category that is all redirects is useless. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:36, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete, pointless to have a category of redirects that all redirect to the same article. Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:02, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- Support Gonnym's proposal/suggestion to move to Category:X-Men (TV series) episode redirects to lists, a practice which is commonplace (see Category:Episode redirects to lists) and permitted by Wikipedia guidelines. InfiniteNexus ( talk) 03:48, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Permitted yes, but would be the purpose in this case where all redirects redirect to the same article? Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:12, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- FWIW, there are 45 "episode redirect to lists" subcategories that have only a single episode redirect. Personally, I don't get the scheme but it does seem well established.
