Talk:Liverpool Exchange (UK Parliament constituency)

Red link
User:Frinton100 and myself have been going back and forth on the issue of me linking Sir John Reynolds, 2nd Baronet and Frinton100 de-linking. I have explained to Frinton100 that WP:REDYES permits notabilities to be linked in accordance with WP:BIO. Baronets automatically qualify as notable. Graemp (talk) 12:29, 22 February 2017 (UTC)


 * It's not a case of "permits" or not, REDNOT suggests that red links for people are not a good idea. Some of those candidates have had red links for 2 and a half years, so they can't be particularly high up anyone's list of priority subjects for new articles.

I would be grateful if you could direct me to a policy that talks about de-linking red links after a given period of time. Graemp (talk) 13:06, 22 February 2017 (UTC)


 * We shouldn't be too fixated by policies, it's what works for the article, and I don't see how having red links for candidates is helpful when clearly no action has been taken for years to create articles to fill the gaps. If you do want a policy, try REDNOT which states "A redlink to a person's name should be avoided" Frinton100 (talk) 13:19, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
