Stephen Grant (suspected murderer) → Murder of Tara Lynn Grant
The result of the debate was Keep. -- JLaTondre (talk) 00:04, 25 July 2008 (UTC) The correctly named redirect is Stephen Grant (murderer). Reason: "If a redirect is not an established term and is unlikely to be used by searchers, it is unlikely to be useful and may reasonably be nominated for deletion." The exact term is an unlikely search candidate and while redirects cannot be deleted for POV, it seems having this redirect around is just leaving the door open for future WP:EDITWARS. &mdash; MrDolomite &bull; Talk 00:18, 17 July 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep because it helps document the pagemove. This page had significant history prior to the move and may yet have external links to the old, nonstandard pagename.  The value of the history, in my opinion, outweighs the theoretical risks described in the nomination.  I might come to a different conclusion if this page had been heavily vandalized or had been highly controversial but the pagehistory here shows a very straight-forward and uncontested move.

 * Comment The definition of "significant history" is always debatable and open to intepretation. Stephen Grant (murderer) has less than 50 edits, about half of which are tagging and bot edits.  Stephen Grant (suspected murderer) has exactly 3--the move to Stephen Grant (murderer), a bot fixing double redirect, and the tag for WP:RFD. &mdash; MrDolomite &bull; Talk 09:53, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * There were 28 edits made by 19 distinct users (plus one bot) between the article's creation on 4 Mar 2007 and the move to the new title on 22 Dec. Yes, I consider that significant.  Rossami (talk) 15:52, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
