I was checking two times why I clicked that link: actually that redirect was likely created not to get removed of that software comparison because of "
WP:WTAF". If the softrware doesn't meet the
WP:N then it shouldn't get a redirect.

The page has been
viewed 38 times in 90 days. this is a pointless re-direct and pointless page created by a growing trend of users creating a page for every song on an album and redirecting to the parent album. —

CommentKeep - I would say delete, as there is no chance of them charting now and there isn't really any info for each one, but if they are deleted, it is only a matter of time before someone does exactly the same as me and creates the redirect, or creates a barely there article, then we will have a problem of recreation of deleted redirects. I've seen that happen before, so it's better to just leave it. They haven't caused any problems, but bringing up these discussions have created a problem. Same for "I to You" and "Un love Me" discussions just below. —

They are not viable search terms per the page view statistics. Bringing up these discussions doesn't create a problem. What problem has been created? As for them being recreated I would find that hard to believe... its a fairly small and recent issue with page-redirects being created for every song on an album. There's thousands of albums which don't have page redirects for every song on the album. —

I'm curious, what do you believe is the necessary number of hits before a redirect is "viable", and how did you determine that number?--

Comment: I would love to see that
Arena (web browser) would get 90 hits per day, simply because I expanded that article that much. So 90 hits per day for a redirect isn't that bad...

I do not believe that this template was created to express a POV or in bad faith of any sort; however, it is still a POV statement. This is an issue because when you type "Moon landings" into the search bar, this appears as an autofill option. Since it appears to be mostly unused, I see no reason to keep this in light of the POV issues.
RyanVesey 07:53, 6 March 2013 (UTC)reply
Delete per Ryan. I agree it doesn't have to be bad faith, but it's disturbing to have an article title (well OK, a redirect) which is also an unqualified POV statement. It's not as it it is a book or film title or something, where there might be a (shaky?) case for it ... it's just a statement. It's particularly perplexing when it shows up by default when you start typing it in. It's like - it's fair enough that we have an article called
Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories but I'd be pretty disturbed by a redirect to it called
Barack Obama is a Kenyan Muslim communist - it just seems to abandon the NPOV high ground that article titles usually, and should, occupy. Cheers

Keep Here's some redirect 101 for you - when there is a potentially POV title for a topic, there should be a redirect. POV applies to articles, it never applies to redirects. A person who has no idea what the article is called will likely search for this phrase or something similar. The point of redirects is to get the reader to the correct article, and to correct their misconceptions there.
Ego White Tray (

Comment: thanks very much for that. I looked for "Redirect 101" but failed to find it. I did, though, find
WP:RNEUTRAL which certainly supports your position. As a consequence I am thinking of changing my view, above. However, even taking that on board, I still think that it's a terrible titleoid, in a way that I am not sure that I can explain clearly. It is that it is actually a sentence, a proper grammatical structure making the claim. This seems to be to be very very odd - surely we don't usually do this, but rather have title and redirects which are just a subject line for an article, not a sentence?! Forgive me if I am not making myself clear but I really don't think we should have redirects which are so clearly the claim as a statement, rather than a title. The target article, after all, is called
Moon landing conspiracy theories rather than
Moon landings were a conspiracy to defraud the public or something. Having said that I note that at
WP:RNEUTRAL they give the example of
Barack Obama Muslim rumor →
Barack Obama presidential primary campaign, 2008 (yes, I know, never mind) but in fact the redirect
Barack Obama is a Muslim does, to my great surprise, exist - so that destroys my logic or at least damages it. Hmmm. I think I will have to change my view. It hurts, but ... :)

Comment In regards to
WP:RNEUTRAL, a non-neutral redirect that is unlikely to be useful can be deleted. The redirect is used very sparingly. I think the damage done since the redirect appears in the search bar as if it were an article is worse than the utility of the redirect. I'll ask at
WP:VPT if there's a way to have this redirect not show up there.

We don't title articles with sentences, but people do search for sentences. Redirects exist for ways that people may reasonably be expected to search for a subject. LadyofShalott 18:30, 7 March 2013 (UTC)reply
