Talk:Strike The Root

Shouldn't this redirect be removed?
"Strike the Root" is a shortening of a phrase from Thoreau's "Walden": "striking the root". If it redirects to anywhere, it should redirect to Walden, perhaps, rather than to a corner of Anarchism. But what is Wikipedia policy on making redirects from popular quotations? Is it a common practice?

I believe the reason for the redirect is that a blog or small time publication called "Strike the Root" talks about anarchism. That is totally fine, but a redirect that benefits a blog does not belong in the encyclopedia.


 * I made the change to redirect to Walden. I was less sure how to delete a redirect page. Gnuish (talk) 10:48, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
