Hi Complex, in November this Redirect discussion was decided as delete. But the page was redirected rather than deleted to here. I found it strange that it was still up as there was consensus on delete so I tagged it as CSD thinking it got forgotten. If I am missing something please ignore. Nayyn (talk) 23:07, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Nayyn: The project page was merely a redirect and did not have substantial page history; the redirect actually was deleted and not recreated. Whenever a redirect is sent to WP:RFD, only the status of the redirect is discussed, and the outcome of a discussion has no implications for the target page. Along the same line of reasoning, a redirect being deleted as an implausible typo would naturally not imply that the (correctly-spelt) target article should be deleted.

That said, I declined your speedy deletion request: WP:CSD#G4 requires substantially identical content in both a deleted and recreated page. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers, ^Complex/_Rational 23:28, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for closing the AfD for Jared Safier. Now, upon review, I discovered that this page has been deleted several times for advertising and self-promotion, as evident in the deletion log. Would it be possible to put a lock on the page, to prevent it from being created yet again? BOTTO _(T•C) 00:55, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Botto: It was actually only created and deleted twice at that title, once in 2014 and once a few days ago, so creation protection is not necessary. Creation protection usually is only applied for pages with bad titles that are repeatedly created, and it does not prevent recreation at a different title. ^Complex/_Rational 22:57, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
