The detainment of the 12 Hongkongers

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Same topic as 2020 detainment of Hong Kong residents at sea by China with less info. The title is too vague to make a good redirect, so I am proposing deletion instead of a merge.
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2020 October 4.  —cyberbot I   Talk to my owner :Online 16:20, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect and merge to the target article 2020 detainment of Hong Kong residents at sea by China. I note that the target article is actually created AFTER the article currently nominated for deletion, but I agree with the nominator that the target article contains more info. What we have here is clearly a duplicate topic, but I don't think the title is so wildly implausible such that the article should be outright deleted per WP:A10, as some news sources do use similar terms like "detained 12 Hong Kongers" and "12 Hong Kongers detained". I doubt many people would search by that exact title, but it does little harm to retain the redirect per WP:CHEAP and WP:ATD-R. Furthermore, regardless of whether the article with this exact title is to be deleted or redirected, there are some sourced information that could benefit from a merge to the target article, especially under the subsection Relatives’s response and lawyers being threatened which is mentioned in much less details in the target article. -- Dps04 (talk) 06:36, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I am also open to reconsider my vote if, upon further reading and comparison of the parallel efforts on the same subject, editors believe the nominated article is actually a better version than 2020 detainment of Hong Kong residents at sea by China. --Dps04 (talk) 06:37, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect and merge to 2020 detainment of Hong Kong residents at sea by China as it is more detailed and well-written. Cilverlight (talk) 15:31, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
