Wikipedia:Proposal to revise CSD R3

This is a failed proposal. Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump.

Should speedy deletion criterion R3 be revised to better address redirects in a language other than English?  — Scott • talk 16:46, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is obviously a failed proposal, so marking it as such. I had no expectation of it succeeding while writing it, and did so mainly to highlight how a micro-segment of our existing policies is incoherent and unfit for purpose. The responses it's attracted over the last two weeks also provide an illustration of how there's an unspoken agreement among many contributors that redirects exist in a parallel universe where the project's core policy on sourcing does not apply. Until there is a broader understanding of the act of creating a redirect, progress is not possible.  — Scott • talk 19:30, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
