FamilySearch Wiki:Redirects: Difference between revisions

# <span id="D1"/><span id="d1"/>The redirect page makes it ''unreasonably'' difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine.

# <span id="D2"/><span id="d2"/>The redirect might cause confusion.  

# <span id="D3"/><span id="d3"/>The redirect is offensive or abusive.

# <span id="D4"/><span id="d4"/>The redirect makes no sense, such as redirecting Apple to Orange.

# <span id="D5"/><span id="d5"/>It is a cross-namespace redirect out of article space, such as one pointing into the User or FamilySearch Wiki namespace.

# <span id="D6"/><span id="d6"/>If the redirect is broken, meaning it redirects to an article that does not exist or itself, it can be deleted immediately, though you should check that there is not an alternative place it could be appropriately redirected to first.

# <span id="D7"/><span id="d7"/>If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name, it is unlikely to be useful. Implausible typos or misnomers are potential candidates for speedy deletion, if recently created.

# <span id="D8"/><span id="d8"/>If the target article needs to be moved to the redirect title, but the redirect has been edited before and has a history of its own, then it needs to be deleted to make way for move.

# <span id="D9"/><span id="d9"/>If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains little information on the subject. In these cases, it is better that the target article contain a [[FamilySearch Wiki:redlink|redlink]] pointing back to the redirect.

# <span id="D10"/><span id="d10"/>If the redirect constitutes self-promotion or spam.
