I find it very confusing that a user page redirects to an article. Is this allowed?

Comment user pages were used as sandboxes / draftspace in the wiki's early days. When the editor was done with their draft, they move it to article space which leaves this type of redirect. Normally users have a specific sandbox for this job (here's mine
User:Lenticel/Sandbox) but this editor used their main user page instead. --

To anwer the literal question, yes, it is allowed. Keep. If you do think userpages like this are an issue, it would be best to hold an RfC.--

Minor petty-dwarfs not mentioned in target; unless good sourcing can be found to indicate significance of these, I don't think this level of detail is within the scope of the target article (which rightfully limits the space given to the petty dwarves, who are less significant).

Delete per nom, can't see any reason for having this.

Weak keep - presumably a reader knowing to search for these obscure character names would not be disappointed with being redirected to a page with general information on the topic.

@
Susmuffin: So? How does the average person come into this? And even if the average person does come across this then surely they are able to infer that the redirects lead to this target because they are related to the target? —

Comment - "keep" isn't really a valid option as the linked section doesn't exist, and doesn't appear to have existed recently. At the very least it should simply target the article but I am not giving an opinion either way.

Delete it's a line once said by the main charaters' landlord in the film with very little plot relevance. I also noticed the misquoted
Give me your rent which should also be included.--

Keep. This is a valid {{r from unnecessary disambiguation}}. While I wouldn't encourage someone creating a doubly-qualified redirect like this out of thin air, in this case, where it exists from a move, there's no reason to delete it.--

Delete, the article with the long title was created with a extended name because the normal title already existed in draft space, and the user who created it found this way to upload the improved version. Then the article was moved to its "natural" name and left there a redirect. I totally agree with the OP to delete the unnecessary redirect.
