• Delete and Redirect to John Wilkes Booth, the person in the article is not a notable historical figure. Danny Lilithborne 21:40, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and Redirect or simply redirect per Danny. Also, could someone refer me to the guideline/policy/section of the GFDL which speaks to "delete and redirect"? I've heard it's prohibited (maybe I'm thinking of "merge and delete"). I can't remember where it's mentioned. Thanks.--Kchase T 12:42, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
  • It's not prohibited by anything. Merge and delete isn't technically prohibited, either, but it's discouraged because the GFDL requires us to preserve article history, and redirecting is far and away the simplest way to do that. —Cryptic 19:28, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
