 * If the redirect is a single person's real name that redirects to that individual's stage name, use R from personal name instead.
 * If the redirect is the name of a song or album, use R from song or R from album (respectively) instead.
 * If the redirect names a subtopic that is not a band or group name that is treated in detail at the target article, use R from subtopic instead (and R to section if appropriate).
 * For redirects that are incorrect names for the target, use R from incorrect name.
