User:Josephbyrd


This is a userpage which redirects to an article. Is this permitted? It appears that the article was originally the content of the userpage, which was moved into mainspace, leaving a redirect behind. Similarly, User talk:Josephbyrd redirects to Talk:Linda West Eckhardt; should that one be deleted as well? (This nomination could have been made at WP:RFD, but since the subject is user pages I think this is the right place.) Robofish (talk) 13:21, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Blank, but no reason to delete. The talk page may have history that needs to be preserved D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  04:05, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The redirect was left by a page move. All completely proper, a draft written in userspace, then moved to mainspace.  Replace the redirect with a link to the page this editor wrote.  Leave the talk page as it is now.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:48, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. Redirecting a user page to a mainspace article is not a problem. Redirecting a user talk page to a Talk: page is a problem, however. I don't know whether a history merge or something like that would be the best way to deal with the problematic redirect. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:11, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
