You have three options,
- Leave the redirect as is
- Actually create something there (i.e. an article)
- Delete it
You can't just leave a blank article in the hope something will happen to it. - Happysailor (Talk) 19:23, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
- My key problem in all this is that blanking of articles (or redirects) is (almost) never the correct way to do things. Blank articles create a number of problems on the project. I personally patrol for short or blank articles regularly, which is how I got into this with you. I really do not care what happens to this particular article/redirect, as long as it is not certain situations that are simply wrong for the project. And blanking it is one of the biggest of those.
- HappySailor lays out your options above pretty well. If you want it deleted, the correct way to do that is to follow the directions at WP:RFD. Lay out your arguments for deletion, check back regularly to respond to those who may have opposing views. WP:RFD is a debate, aimed at finding a consensus solution.
- Or, if you can come up with at least one more article that the topic relates directly two, a disambiguation could be written at the spot. A disambiguation is a type of short article that is put into place when a word or phrase applies to more than one article, and we want to show users the choice of which they might want to visit. - TexasAndroid (talk) 20:13, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
