• I redirected the article. Other people edited it, but I am the only person who worked on what it actually said, its intellectual content. Geo Swan (talk) 20:13, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

that is sort of bypassing the AfD discussion, isn't it? I guess people can look in the history, but now that the discussion is open the more proper thing to do is to wait for the discussion's outcome, is it not? At WP:EDITATAFD it says "You should not turn the article into a redirect." I'm not at all invested in this, but I might vote if I did not have to look through the history. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:02, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

I agree with ThatMontrealIP that a redirect after AfD was out of process. I have reverted the redirect. I think once we are here at AfD the community will decide merge, redirect, delete, keep, etc. I have no opinion on the article at this time. Lightburst (talk) 04:50, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

• WP:CSD#G7._Author_requests_deletion says:

If requested in good faith and provided that the only substantial content of the page was added by its author. For redirects created as a result of a page move, the mover must also have been the only substantive contributor to the pages before the move.[3] If the sole author blanks a page other than a userspace page, a category page, or any type of talk page, this can be taken as a deletion request.

I am the author of "the only substantial content of the page". As per CSD I would be authorized to call for its speedy deletion. By longstanding tradition G7 would supercede this AFD. I ask ThatMontrealIP and Lightburst if they honestly think that while a G7 would be honoured, I am not authorized to redirect to 2010_European_terror_plot? Nominator explicitly mentioned 2010_European_terror_plot in their brief deletion rationale. I suggest that redirection to 2010_European_terror_plot is what we should assume nominator implied should happen. If they actually thought there was a justification for deletion of the article's revision history their nomination should not have explicitly mentioned a redirection target, and should have offered a justification for deletion of the article's revision history.

• WRT EDITATAFD -- not familiar with this section. May I point out what it says in its 4th point, about redirection:

"If you do this, please note it on the deletion discussion page, preferably both at the top of the discussion (for new participants) and as a new comment at the bottom (for the benefit of the closing administrator)".

I did say I redirected it. Since mine was the first comment, it was both first and last comment. Geo Swan (talk) 05:55, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
