Why delete?
edit@Jgwikid: I don't understand the reason for this PROD. It's usual to redirect the title of an album to the article on its artist, unless the album itself has an article, which this one doesn't. Could you explain? Ingratis (talk) 12:55, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Ingratis: Ok, maybe my mistake, I am sorry. But, is it really usual? (I haven't seen it yet while I have seen a lot I think). I checked - nothing links here - so is this sth. like page title reservation then? However, if this is usual please close/revert my proposal acc. to procedures.

- @Jgwikid: - no need to apologise! it's not a big deal and I was curious. For redirect deletion in general, please see WP:RFD, which reduces to "no point in deleting redirects unless they're actively harmful" which this one isn't. There is also the point that if the redirect is deleted it may make it more difficult if in future someone wants to create an article on the album, since the deletion of a previous article on a subject is one of the frequent justifications given for deleting newly written articles. For redirects from albums to artists there is this, which shows how common the practice is: Category:Redirects from albums. Best wishes, Ingratis (talk) 14:15, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
