BZPN has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: This redirect seems to be more of a test or the author's own vision - I haven't found such a term for Sterilization of Native American women anywhere on the Internet, because it's basically adding an adjective to the main title. This redirect is pointless and false. BZPN (talk) 17:36, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

File:Symbol delete vote.svg Delete Nothing about this in the target, and this redirect seems to be a highly unlikely phrase to be used. If a decent section is added to the target on this, perhaps a redirect for just "Sterilization of Hawaiian women" would be warranted, which would also turn up as probably the top search result for this unwieldy phrase.

Keep Redirects to subtopics with their own sections are commmon. Also, please review Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not for what RfD requires – none of these large number of RfDs qualify. Invasive Spices (talk) 21:20, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
File:Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Redirects are cheap. While I wouldn't create these redirects myself, they are more useful now they exist and deletion them would not serve a benefit, in my opinion. On the rare chance a user does happen to enter these in, they would get to what they are looking for. --Ferien (talk) 01:02, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
File:Symbol delete vote.svg Delete - Since we don't have a full deletion policy for redirects, I will be referencing points 1 & 8 from R#DELETE (enWP). In my opinion, this redirect will make it unreasonably difficult for users to find the correct article, and it is also a very obscure synonym for this article. While I do agree with Ferien that redirects are cheap, this editor's past history with redirects on other projects brings to the belief that we should make our position clear here.

That's a good articulation of my thought process - if we stick with the "redirects are cheap" (which they are) so "do whatever!" we end up with redirects with text that isn't mentioned in the target (like here), or uses language that's contrary to the purpose of this Wikipedia (coercive). There needs to be some rational limits on redirects - relevant to the target, would otherwise be a viable page title, appear to be a somewhat viable search term.
