Three re-directs
Hello, I'm Blue Riband. I noticed that you made re-directs to at least three articles: The Charade (D'Angelo song), Jonathan Galkin, and Heart of a Champion (song). There are edit summaries where you indicated that they "didn't seem notable". I agree that you have a legitimate point. However in cases where an article appears to clearly fail WP:GNG we need to nominate it for AfD where one can make a case for deletion, merging, or a re-direct. If an editor unilaterally does a re-direct it effectively deletes the text from view. (Editors know it's preserved in the page history but the casual user doesn't realize that.) I know the AfD process can be frustrating, especially when one does the research to make a logical and compelling case for deletion only to see it being retained for "no consensus". And there is a lot of stuff on Wikipedia that just flies under the radar and remains for years. But may I suggest that you consider the AfD process going forward. Deletion decisions should ultimately be made by editorial consensus. Blue Riband► 23:13, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I am very familiar with AfD but an article doesn't have to be deleted and then redirected.  Erpert  blah, blah, blah... 23:31, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads-up. I think I'll try it myself going forward. Blue Riband► 00:04, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
