Wikipedia talk:Redirects are cheap

What is this???

Seriously, this article contradicts itself every paragraph, and it looks more like a talk page than anything. Wow. Steel1943 (talk) 02:49, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Absolutely, I agree. Moreover, it draws a number of conclusions based on false premises. It is essentially worthless. — Quicksilver^{T @} 14:28, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

It also contradicts Wikipedia:Don't worry about performance and Wikipedia:Arguments_to_avoid_in_deletion_discussions#It_doesn.27t_do_any_harm. India Capricorn (talk) 01:31, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

I read this essay along with WP:COSTLY and wrote a third in response: User:Teratix/Discussions about redirects are costly. I would be interested in any comments. – Teratix ₵ 07:50, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Editors should make their articles as easy to find as possible, particularly for other editors. I have several times worked on a biography article, only to find (when creating a redirect ?!) that another, usually better, article already exists. For that reason alone, a redirect should be created for any way that name is written in readily available references. I exempt spelling errors, where a redirect can increase confusion, but if common should be noted in the lede. Doug butler (talk) 02:08, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
