I tried to find out more about what was required of an article for it to meet featured article specifications but twice, a redirect has been deleted from [[Featured articles]] to [[Wikipedia:Featured article]]. Inclusion of the redirect would have saved me the great deal of time that it took me to get here and protest against its deletion and would also save future users the hassle of discovering the [[Wikipedia:Featured article]] page, particularly troublesome to newcomers. --[[User:Username132|Username132]] ([[User talk:Username132|talk]]) 18:10, 30 August 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Comment''' Was there an RfD for this? Looks like a cross-namespace redirect that was speedied. ~ [[User:Trialsanderrors|trialsanderrors]] 18:21, 30 August 2006 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Comment''' RfD [[Wikipedia:Redirects_for_deletion/Redirect_Archives/June_2006#Featured_articles.2C_Featured_Articles.2C_Featured_Article.2C_Featured_article_.E2.86.92_Wikipedia:Featured_articles|here]]. [[User:Whispering|Whispering]]<sup>([[User talk:Whispering|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Whispering|c]])</sup> 21:08, 30 August 2006 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Overturn''' (undelete). The noses where counted properly in the RfD but the conclusion contradicts policy on [[Wikipedia:Redirect#When should we delete a redirect?|When should we delete a redirect?]]. While that section does suggest that cross-namespace redirects may be deletable in some circumstances, the section immediately below covers the exceptions. Bullets 1 (useful history), 3 (aid searching), 5 (someone finds them useful) and probably 4 (breaking old links) in the "Avoid deleting such redirects" section apply to this case. [[Wikipedia:Cross-namespace redirects]] is the most comprehensive discussion of the relative merits and demerits of CNRs. The case for their deletion is, in my opinion, far from settled.

*'''Redlink''', i.e. delete the {{tl|deletedpage}}), as with prior cross-namespace redirects. Those who want to make sure it doesn't reappear can watchlist it. --[[User:Samuel Blanning|Sam Blanning]]<sup>[[User talk:Samuel Blanning|(talk)]]</sup> 23:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Redlink''', just like all other cross-namespace redirects. If you disagree with that policy, start a discussion on [[Wikipedia talk:Redirect]]. -[[User:Gtrmp|Sean Curtin]] 23:59, 30 August 2006 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Keep Deleted, no opinion on deleted template vs Redlink''' - Cross namespace redirects should be deleted on sight. --[[User:Improv|Improv]] 02:44, 31 August 2006 (UTC) |
|||
**I have nothing more to say than Improv already said. '''Keep deleted'''. [[User:Zoe]]|[[User talk:Zoe|(talk)]] 03:21, 31 August 2006 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Keep deleted''' as for all cross-namespace redirects. ([[User:Paolo Liberatore|Liberatore]], [[User talk:Paolo Liberatore|2006]]). 13:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Question'''. Articles frequently have a cross-namespace link at the top (e.g. using the selfref template) incase someone was looking for Wikipedia help. Would it be acceptable to undelete the page and apply such a manually-operated link? --[[User:Username132|Username132]] ([[User talk:Username132|talk]]) 07:52, 1 September 2006 (UTC) |
|||
**That's one of the better solutions, but only if you can write an article about featured articles that would stand up at AfD (bearing [[WP:ASR]] in mind). I'm not sure that the phrase has enough relevance outside Wikipedia for that to be possible. --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 11:37, 1 September 2006 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]]) |
|||
*'''Redlink''' unless an article can be written. --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 11:37, 1 September 2006 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]]) |
|||
*'''Redlink''' per [[WP:RfD]]. [[User:Eluchil404|Eluchil404]] 17:50, 1 September 2006 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Proposed compromise''' Can we set the redirects here → [[Article]]? I think cross namespace dab headers are fairly common and the best solution to article space searches for/links to WP space topics. As long as we can find something in the article space they can go to, adding a dab header there seems a far better solution than redlinking. ~ [[User:Trialsanderrors|trialsanderrors]] 01:14, 2 September 2006 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Keep deleted''' or '''redirect''' to an ''encyclopedic'' article. A cross-namespace redirect is unacceptable. --[[User:Cyde|<font color="#ff66ff">'''Cyde Weys'''</font>]] 02:47, 2 September 2006 (UTC) |
|||
*Reopening for the purpose of gathering more opinion here. [[User:Xoloz|Xoloz]] 17:52, 2 September 2006 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Redirect''' to [[Feature story]] and add a dablink at the top. - [[User:Bobet|Bobet]] 11:27, 6 September 2006 (UTC) |
