The result was speedy keep  for two reasons: 1) The proper forum for discussing deletion of redirect pages is Redirects for discussion; and 2) Per WP:R, one possible reason for having a redirect is "sub-topics or other topics which are described or listed within a wider article." It is perfectly acceptable to have book titles that have no independent notability for a stand-alone article redirect to the author's article or some other appropriate article. Additionally, these are all remotely plausible search terms, and circular redirects can be fixed simply by unlinking them. Non-admin closure. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 20:50, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

The Birthgrave

 * – ( View AfD View log )

It is a redirect page which was used on the page Tanith Lee to do a circular redirect back to the Tanith Lee page, giving a false impression that there is a page about this novel of hers. Artemis-Arethusa (talk) 20:26, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I would also like to nominate The Secret Books of Paradys, Faces Under Water, Saint Fire, A Bed of Earth, and Venus Preserved, all of which are by Tanith Lee and all of which follow exactly the same pattern as The Birthgrave (That is, they are ALL redirect pages whose only link is back to the page that redirected them) . In addition, Darkness, I and Personal Darkness, also by Tanith Lee, go nowhere but to right back to the same everarching pages of the series they are a part of (The Blood Opera Sequence and Dark Dance).  I think some editor or other got clever, but this is ridiculous.  Every one of these redirect pages is superfluous.Artemis-Arethusa (talk) 20:36, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
