If not notable, what about a redirect?

@ Penitentes: I don't have an opinion re: notability. However, if the topic is deemed non-notable, shouldn't we at least keep the page as a redirect to 2019 California wildfires? I don't think outright deletion is necessary. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 16:59, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Hmm - I'm amenable to it, you've handled more deletion situations than me by a long shot. I can remove the PROD template and start an AfD? Penitentes ( talk) 17:24, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Penitentes Why don't we see if User:Missvain weighs in first. If not, then I can just redirect the page and we can avoid AfD altogether. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 17:25, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Sounds good. 👍 Penitentes ( talk) 17:26, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Penitentes I have removed the PROD tag for now, but I am totally fine with you or me redirecting the page to 2019 California wildfires if no one weighs in re: notability in the next few days. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 20:58, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Great! Thanks - I am happy to take care of it; I'll give it until the weekend for people to comment. Penitentes ( talk) 21:02, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply

A redirect seems reasonable, it only lasted one day and did not cause any structural damage or casualties or receive much coverage. Reywas92 Talk 15:52, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply
My thinking as well. WP:WILDFIRE-NOTE is my rough basis for judging notability. Penitentes ( talk) 16:32, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Update: I've just added the references from this page to 2019 California wildfires and blanked/redirected it. I'll put a notice on that article's talk page now. Penitentes ( talk) 17:18, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply

You're welcome, and thank you for helping me get more familiar with deletion/redirect best practices! Penitentes ( talk) 17:21, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply
