John Bray Poetry Award

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The info on this page is actually incorrect (awards are biennial, and the one listed is 2010), the link is dead and the award is covered at Adelaide_Festival_Awards_for_Literature. Can I just convert this into a redirect? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 08:24, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

 * You can, or at least you could have - it didn't need to come to AFD for you to do so, but now that it's here you've arguably made things a bit harder for yourself! If I were you, I'd withdraw this nomination and close it as Speedy Keep under WP:SKCRIT criteria 1, and then boldly implement the redirect as you suggest it. (As an aside, dead links and incorrect info are not a reason for either deletion or redirection. However, I can find little to no coverage for this, so the proposed redirect makes sense to me. Let's just avoid waiting this out for seven days for no good reason) Hugsyrup 09:46, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks . (I was actually in the process of doing that when I had second thoughts, not being sure of the procedure in this kind of case.) I'll have to follow up your advice when I get back to my computer shortly, because my tablet doesn't make it easy! Yes, it's more that it's such a minor award, part of a group and more likely to be kept up to date on that page. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 10:22, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Help! Sorry, but I still can't seem to find instructions on how to withdraw it... Is there something I need to do here? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 10:32, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
 * No worries, I'll close this for you as you've said you're happy to withdraw it. Hugsyrup 10:34, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
