Cyclone Twelve (1991) would be more accurate, although IMO still unnecessary as it appears that the storm is consistently known by a few other names. signed, Rosguilltalk 02:05, 18 September 2019 (UTC)reply

Keep Official website for one of the largest football clubs in England (and one the best-known in the world), it doesn't need promotion on Wikipedia, therefore can't see how it could be spam.

It's standard to redirect domain name to main article, e.g.
Microsoft.com. It'll redirect to the main article if someone wikilinks TottenhamHotspur.com in another article. WP:POINTLESS is about vandalism, there is nothing that can be considered vandalism here.

Keep. As noted above, it's completely normal for an organization's article to have a redirect from its primary website's URL. If you disagree with this practice, please start a Village Pump discussion about the practice. The only reason to nominate a few individual URL redirects is if you think they don't comply with the pattern, e.g. your proposal above to delete a .us redirect for a company whose main website is .de. And in this case, it's even more of a problem, since there's no reason for one of the world's most successful football clubs to advertise on Wikipedia.

Keep. As others have said it's standard practice to link primary domain names to the appropriate articles. The most compelling argument is for the link in references as stated by

Not mentioned in target, which is an FA class article. I would suggest deletion. Reading the article's lead, it says that The system was the twelfth and final tropical cyclone, the eighth tropical storm, and fourth hurricane in the 1991 Atlantic hurricane season, so this redirect would appear to be plainly inaccurate.
Cyclone Twelve (1991) would be more accurate, although IMO still unnecessary as it appears that the storm is consistently known by a few other names. signed, Rosguilltalk 02:05, 18 September 2019 (UTC)reply
