No longer likely to be used / wordy. FAdesdae378 (talk · contribs) 22:47, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per my reasoning in the previous RfD. The mere fact of this being "wordy" is not enough to warrant deletion, and it could still be useful for anyone who searches for this eclipse. Another option would be to move this to The solar eclipse that took place on August 21, 2017, as written in past tense seems more appropriate. Regardless, it seems fine either way.

- Comment Considering this redirect was made nearly a decade before the eclipse actually happened, and we're now 5 years past that, moving it would be the best choice. MightyArms (talk) 02:01, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
- Delete This is such an unlikely search. MightyArms perhaps brought up the best thing to keep in mind - it was created in 2008. The pageviews analysis shows 200 views for the page since it started collecting data sometime in 2015. Guess when it received the most amount of views - October 2020 - when it went through RfD previously (24 views). I do not see this as being useful when using the date, {{code|August 21, 2017}}, gets you to the solar eclipse. The same is true on Google. Another thing to note is the user created The Solar eclipse of August 21, 2017 and The solar eclipse of August 21, 2017 after this one. The argument for usefulness is perplexing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Grid (talk • contribs) 06:15, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

- Delete, echoing my !vote in the previous discussion. It is implausible due to the wrong tense, but not because of its length. -- Tavix (talk) 22:09, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- Delete, I don't see what the redirect accomplishes that the title of the target doesn't. As The Grid pointed out, the user had created the "The" and case variants for extra measure. Tense is not really a problem as Cyclone and MightyArms have provided the workaround. This is a costly redirect having taken up the community's time in 2020, and is continuing to do now. I'm sure if deleted here, the redirect with this wording (regardless of future or past) won't be recreated. Jay 💬 02:06, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
