I am nominating this article for redirect to the List of The O.C. characters because it appears to be Fancruft and lacks secondary sources Shaneymike (talk) 16:18, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the List of The O.C. characters; if you wanted this to be redirected, then you could have done it yourself. AfDs are typically forums in which the nominator wants the article deleted, full stop period. Aoba47 (talk) 05:15, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect but I echo Aoba47's comments. Alternatively, find and add sources and we can keep the article. Although not with some of the excesses I just removed. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 10:37, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I've taken the initiative and redirected a lot of the other character articles to the list after reading Aoba47's comment with regards to a One Tree Hill article that I nominated last month as well as another user's comment with regards to my nomination of the Johnny Harper article. Sorry, if this seems excessive with regards to these types of articles. I just figured that was playing it safe rather than arbitrarily redirecting.Shaneymike (talk) 14:01, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I completely understand your point; I do the same thing tbh. It is a good idea to play it safe. An AfD consensus also discourages users from reverting redirects (which I have noticed more often occurring when I just do it on my own accord). Aoba47 (talk) 09:30, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One can always WP:BOLDy redirect and then, if reverted, take it to AfD. Bondegezou (talk) 22:09, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That is a good point. Thank you for the response. I have always been curious about how to handle situations where redirects are reverted. Aoba47 (talk) 21:56, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
