News Reporter's Terms are not necessarily suitable for redirects
editWhen browsing Wikipedia, I noticed that there was a discussion about a redirect to Donald Trump, with a name which was used by a news reporter and, although I noticed that the user had been using sockpuppets, the point still stands that news reporter's terms should still not, in most circumstances be used to create redirects.
Newspapers have bias
editNewspapers generally don't have a neutral point of view as they reflect the views of their owners. This means that they aren't suitable for direct quoting without another reliable source.
