To affirm that he is not notable outside of Toto (band), I decided to create a redirect outside of said article. It was deleted twice for WP:G4 even though I had no intention whatsoever to recreate the article. Was I within my right to WP:ATD-R and is the redirect valid, as I ask @ Liz, Ponyo, El C, Jéské Couriano, Doomsdayer520, DannyS712, and Randykitty:?

• I think its fine to create the redirect -- DannyS712 ( talk) 22:34, 15 May 2019 (UTC) reply

  I forgot to mention... it's now WP:SALT. FoxyGrampa75 ( talk) 22:54, 15 May 2019 (UTC) reply

  I saw - the reason for the salting was that it was repeatedly recreated, but I think that refers to created as an article, so a redirect should be okay -- DannyS712 ( talk) 22:55, 15 May 2019 (UTC) reply

  I wonder if any admin can look into the page history and if this evidence is useful. FoxyGrampa75 ( talk) 23:03, 15 May 2019 (UTC) reply

• Whether it should be a redirect is to be determined here. I have no immediate objection. El_C 23:21, 15 May 2019 (UTC) reply
• Seriously? WP:G4 only applies to, sufficiently identical copies. A redirect is not sufficiently identical to what was deleted. The problem seems to be that every time the redirect is recreated, somebody comes along and turns it back into an article. So, Recreate redirect and protect that. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:59, 15 May 2019 (UTC) reply
• Allow redirect and protect that – The redirect is a good search term. Protecting it will stop it from being turned into an article. Leviv  ich 03:06, 16 May 2019 (UTC) reply

• Fair enough, I have created the redirect. El_C 03:09, 16 May 2019 (UTC) reply

  Do I get two more wishes? :-) Leviv  ich 03:24, 16 May 2019 (UTC) reply

• Close this out I'm happy with the redirect - think we're solved here. SportingFlyer T· C 06:38, 16 May 2019 (UTC) reply
