Li Ying'ai → Lee Young-ae (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

WP:XY (it's the Chinese pronunciation either for Lee Young-ae or Ri Yong-ae) and WP:FORRED (neither individual has anything to do with the Chinese language, so neither a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT nor a disambiguation page is appropriate here). 59.149.124.29 (talk) 10:09, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Deryck Chan:'s opinion on redirects like this is usually worth listening to. Thryduulf (talk) 18:13, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Though the person is Korean, a Mandarin redirect to the Korean person does no harm, especially per WP:RFD#KEEP. Also, the XY and FORRED are just supplements not to be used as rules. I could not find widespread results, but at least I found this book citing a title that uses the name. There are other people named "Li Ying'ai", like the physicist and some comrade(?).

Leaning keep. Thanks Thryduulf for pinging me. I think this is a valid {{R from alternative transliteration}} from her official hanja name. The evidence we've gathered so far also point towards the South Korean actress being the primary topic and the only other relevant person with an article is already hatnoted per WP:2DAB. Deryck C. 11:19, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Korean hanja uses borrowed Chinese characters, which meets the WP:FORRED requirement. Hatnote deals with the XY issue. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 05:12, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bobby Vinton's Greatest Hits (1990 album) → Bobby Vinton (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Highly unlikely search term for an obscure album. Vinyton had several greatest hits albums of more note, while this one had no secondary coverage whatsoever. It will not be re-created, at least not in its prior form, so the edit history is useless. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 06:29, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Bobby Vinton discography#Compilation albums. It's a harmless {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}} and {{R to list entry}}. Thryduulf (talk) 18:16, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget as above, given one of his albums has this (year album) format and then de-link from the discography. There are a bunch of Greatest Hits albums, that the dab page for Bobby Vinton's Greatest Hits should redirect there too. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:16, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Iggy Pop Biography → Iggy Pop (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Anyone searching for a person would likely be looking for a biography. f e minist 15:49, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep There's a Further Reading section in the Iggy Pop article that contains his biography, the most likely book searches are looking for. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:50, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Does anybody actually come to WP to search for biographies? You'd expect to find references to biographies at the target if any). --Richhoncho (talk) 11:13, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The target is a biography of Iggy Pop, and the existence of WP:BLP should make the answer Richooncho's question obvious. We should not create redirects like this to every biography, but there is absolutely no benefit to deleting any that are created. Thryduulf (talk) 23:21, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 01:33, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Iggy Pop wrote an autobiography, and this article mentions some biographies by third-party people about him. It also mentions one shelved biopic. --George Ho (talk) 18:49, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
