Matt Tong was the lead drummer of Bloc Party. He is now the lead drummer of Algiers. Should Matt Tong continue to redirect to Bloc Party, considering the Bloc Party article does not mention Algiers at all? Bait30 Talk? 20:22, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment A quick search suggests he might just about meet WP:GNG and qualify for an article himself. That would send the WP:XY problem away, if anybody wants to put the work in... --kingboyk (talk) 20:30, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
::{{rto|Bait30}} Yay, you found your way to RfD this time. I have no opinion on the subject redirect as of yet. ;-) Doug Mehus T·C 20:35, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
:::{{rto|kingboyk}} If that's the case, should we "delete" per WP:R#D10 for redlinks to encourage article creation? ;-) Doug Mehus T·C 20:36, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
::::{{rto|Dmehus}} That might be a reasonable suggestion; a better idea would be stop pontificating at XfDs and go and write an article on this chap yourself! :P --kingboyk (talk) 20:42, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Write the article. A couple of searches turned up enough to suggest he might get through WP:NBIO. Narky Blert (talk) 23:06, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
::{{u|Narky Blert}} But if the article isn't written by the time this closes, for clarity, you would support deletion? Otherwise, the creator (an IP address no less!) of this stinking redirect will get article creation credit! ;-) Doug Mehus T·C 23:17, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Dmehus}} Definitely not. He's mentioned in Algiers, and retargetting there as {{tl|R with possibilities}} would be an alternative solution to mine.
:::Who cares who the creator was? I've seen articles which were started by notorious socks but have been kept.
:::I don't have the time or inclination to work on this article: he's out of my field, and I'm currently working my way through some one hundred citations I have bookmarked on a notable person to get rid of the derivative ones which add nothing. How about you? Narky Blert (talk) 23:37, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
Relisting comment: There looks to possibly be weak consensus to "retarget to Algiers (band)" (it's unclear why all participants in the discussion thus far have WP:PIPEd links to there), but relisting to further establish consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steel1943 (talk) 22:13, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per Narky Blert to encourage people create an article. --Soumyabrata (talk • subpages) 17:50, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
