Tactics to avoid your redirects being overwritten edit
Paper9oll, in regards to your just-created Red Velvet redirects, creating redirects then immediately repointing them to a different page looks like a very blatant tactic to try avoid having your redirects be overwritten, since you appear to know redirects can simply be overwritten by page movers if there's only one edit to them. You cannot stop redirects from being overwritten if someone wants to do so, and you should not attempt to camp on topics like this by trying to force interested people to make articles on them. A moderately experienced user can either move redirects you've created out of the way themselves, ask a page mover to do it at WP:RM/TR, or an ask an admin to simply delete your redirects for them. You should know this by now. Unless you rush-create an article yourself, there's no way to stop others from creating what they want to create by making quick subsequent edits to a redirect and every conceivable variation of a title, including making draftspace titles, and both "(EP)" and "(album)", which I know you've personally disapproved of before—you yourself have previously nominated "(album)" redirects for deletion when a release has been an EP, have you not? Nobody on Wikipedia is forced to make an article on someone's redirect if they don't want to. I have seen this behaviour before, so I don't think my assumption that this is what you're doing, for a K-pop girl group whose topics you've made plenty of articles for and are still heavily involved with, is out of line. It looks like you do this for most, if not all redirects you make. Please stop this behaviour.
At this point you also haven't added any mention of what "Cosmic" is at Red Velvet discography, and you should do that when you create redirects. Ss112 16:08, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
