Duplicate redirect. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 23:25, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean a duplicate of 40 Eridani Ab? That would be OK, no harm in having both correct and incorrect (typo, spelling, etc.) redirects to help people out. On a procedural point, since you are the creator of the redirect and the only substantive editor of it, you could blank the page and ask for a speedy deletion. Not saying you should, but you could. Lithopsian (talk) 15:22, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: actually I realize now that the redirect was created by the nominator, so this could be considered a WP:G7 speedy deletion. I still think the redirect should be kept, though. SevenSpheresCelestia (talk) 22:13, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mistakenly created double redirect, not a plausible typo either. Afridi is a well known family name. Afradi in Roman Urdu is plural word which means individuals and its quite irrelevant to here. USaamo ^(t@lk) 17:55, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Isabel Guzman to bypass the double redirect created by the technical consensus here, which is keep. "Politician" may not be an entirely accurate descriptor, but participants are happy that it's within the bounds of reasonableness - and not derogatory or otherwise problematic. ~ mazca ^talk 18:21, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Isabel Guzman (politician) → Isabel Casillas Guzman  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Delete. While "Isabel Guzman" is a likely search term for Isabel Casillas Guzman, "Isabel Guzman (politician)" is not. This individual is not a politician or political candidate and this redirect is misleading. KidAd talk 03:48, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Administrator of the Small Business Administration is not an elected position, but there are many people who have held such unelected positions in government that most people would agree are politicians, such as Colin Powell, who has never held an elected position. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 07:49, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep it is a political appointment, not a bureaucratic promotion position -- 70.31.205.108 (talk) 09:24, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Conditional delete. If Guzman is not described as politician in the target article, the redirect does not adhere to BLP policy, which applies to all pages. All BLP material should strictly adhere to NOR. A redirect such as Isabel Guzman (official) would be supported by target content, though that would be an example of unnecessary disambiguation. If Guzman is (with proper sourcing) described as politician in the target, it would be possible to use "politician" redirect, in which case the redirect should be tagged with {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}.
  Many nominations in the US go through political process, yet the persons do not become politicians until described as such in reliable sources. E.g. judges obviously do not become politicians through nomination. I am not even sure why Colin Powell is called politician in our article. Politrukki (talk) 22:42, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: Isabel Casillas Guzman was moved to Isabel Guzman in the middle of this discussion, so obviously those who wish to "keep" the redirect mean retargeting to Isabel Guzman. Politrukki (talk) 22:50, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Oiyarbepsy (i.e. retarget per Politrukki). There are no BLP concerns here, regardless of whether she is described as a politician in the target or not as at worst this is a {{R from incorrect disambiguation}} and is a plausible search term.

The redirect titles have typos in the Wikipedia (project) namespace, but all the redirects are in the main (article) namespace. They don't seem very necessary, useful, or helpful for a cross-namespace redirect, as they have less than 100 pageviews. Therefore, delete unless justification can be provided.

• Remark: RSs pertaining to the impeachment, e.g. [5], are treating the charge and sedition as separate concepts, so seems potentially misleading to conflate them via this redirect. AnonQuixote (talk) 03:12, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @AnonQuixote: the point of this discussion is that "incitement of insurrection" as a term is not specific to whatever is or isn't happening with regards to one person. As a general term out of context readers will be most helped by being taken to the general article on sedition. If the term is being used differently in a specific circumstance (and consensus doesn't seem to agree with you that it is) then that is something which, if WP:DUE, should be mentioned in the target article or other appropriate location. Thryduulf (talk) 13:16, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I agree, however I still think it's worth pointing out as, if this redirect is changed to point to sedition, it will likely be used primarily in articles dealing with Trump's recent impeachment, which could be misleading. I vote to Delete per WP:R#DELETE point 2 / WP:RNEUTRAL. AnonQuixote (talk) 18:45, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Any redirect can be used in a misleading manner, that's only reason to delete the redirect if it is itself misleading and cannot be retargeted to avoid that. In this case if someone links to the redirect intending a target specific to Donald Trump then the correct course of action is just to change the link to point to whatever the correct target is. As for RNEUTRAL - the violation of that would be to imply that Donald Trump is the only person to have incited insurrection (whether he has or hasn't it is unarguable that other people have done so on other occasions). If the redirect is used in a non-neutral manner in an article then fix the article, deleting the redirect will not resolve the issue and will just make it harder for people looking for general content (and possibly break any other uses).
