Talk:Lost and Found (Martine McCutcheon album)

Speedy Delete

Page had been created to WP:SELFREDIRECT back to Martine McCutcheon as the album it has been created for isn't released until the 11 August 2017. So no need for the page or the redirect yet. NZ Footballs Conscience^(talk) 21:29, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

@NZ Footballs Conscience: There is nothing wrong with creating redirects for confirmed titles of albums; this is a very common practice. I also did not create the redirect because I saw it was a red link on McCutcheon's article. I was unaware there was even a link on the article. I saw it was an album coming out on another website. I have removed the link on McCutcheon's article, so WP:SELFREDIRECT does not apply and the criteria for speedy deletion would be declined anyway. Besides we shouldn't maintain links to redirects on an article. That solves the problem of self-redirection anyway. Ss112 21:44, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

@Ss112: That is fine, I was under the understanding that self redirects are discouraged but it makes sense when the album is due out soon. Have seen you have removed the link to the album and redirect from Martine article. NZ Footballs Conscience^(talk) 21:46, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
