Wikipedia:No such redirect as "Dorian Fried"

This is plain wrong. If a reliable source uses a portion of someone's name, and its unambiguous, then we should have a redirect. Aside from 9 edits in 2017 this users only contributions are from April this year, this is not going to be a useful guide to anyone here Polyamorph (talk) 09:49, 23 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I'd go further and say that if any identified source uses a portion of the name, there should be a redirect from it: and if it's not unambiguous, then a hatnote or dab page entry is justified. We are here to help readers, who may be coming here from anywhere. Pam  D  10:05, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, exactly, I agree. We should not intentionally make it difficult for users to find a page from a likely search term. Polyamorph (talk) 10:11, 23 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Userfy for user:NotReallySoroka as a disputed single-authored essay. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:03, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - This is an essay stating a silly position, and we don't need to delete essays because they are silly or wrong. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:04, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * If it was an essay in userspace I would agree with you. Polyamorph (talk) 16:12, 23 April 2021 (UTC)


 * People treat essays with much more authority than they should. Keep - minority opinions are fine as Wikipedia-space essays. Elli (talk &#124; contribs) 15:08, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I will soon retire, and has G7ed it. However, I do believe that account age should not factor into my Essay, if pointiness should not factor into a redirect… NotReallySoroka (talk) (formerly DePlume) 15:27, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
