This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on May 21, 2020.

Adam Thorn (wildlife biologist)

• Adam Thorn (wildlife biologist) → Kings of Pain  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This page was redirected several days ago. Before the page was redirected, the only contents were "Adam Thorn is a wildlife biologist who is notable for appearing in the History channel television series Kings of Pain." Considering that Kings of Pain is the article that this redirects to, I think this redirect might as well be deleted due to the fact that the the information provided by the redirect doesn't provide any information that isn't already provided by the Kings of Pain article.

Saint Lucia at the 2020 Summer Olympics

• Saint Lucia at the 2020 Summer Olympics → 2020 Summer Olympics  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Not mentioned on target page (or Saint Lucia at the Summer Olympics). I'm not sure if there is sufficient content to start the article (a quick google search suggests several hopefuls but no-body qualified) but this page definently should not retarget to 2020 Summer Olympics where Saint Lucia isn't even mentioned

• Delete. Encourage article creation if justified; don't mislead readers if not. Narky Blert (talk) 11:39, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia policy

• Wikipedia policy → Wikipedia:List of policies  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 
• Wikipedia policies → Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Retarget to encyclopedic content at Wikipedia#Policies and laws. — J947 ^[cont] 02:07, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose The article about Wikipedia is driven by sources and is meant for readers. If an editor is looking for our policies, they do better to read our WP-space content. And because you used Twinkle for this nonsense retargeting, you notified Larry Sanger about it. Chris Troutman (talk) 02:15, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Those are fair points, but the redirects should at least point to the same place if nothing else. — J947 ^[cont] 02:19, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose proposed retarget but I agree these redirects should ideally point to the same article in WP space. Polyamorph (talk) 08:45, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
• Retarget to Wikipedia#Policies and laws. The better Wikipedia space target is Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines as that gives the introduction to them that someone not using the namespace prefix is far more likely to be after than a simple list. That said, it is quite likely that people would be searching for encyclopaedic content about Wikipedia policies, so avoiding the cross-namespace reidrect is best. A {{selfref}} hatnote to Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines should be added at the top of that section to direct those who are looking for the project space content.

Working Pearl

• Working Pearl → SpongeBob SquarePants (season 2)#ep22b  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete. The only result Google gives me is a poorly-maintained, unsourced, fan-run wiki claiming it was an original title for the episode. I've heard of this rumor before but have never found any proof for it. Scrooge200 (talk) 01:52, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
