Talk:Sollefteå

Should this be a redirect?
This article was speedy deleted since it was an empty template with a single spam link (WV:Deletion policy: "New pages that are plainly spam and that qualify for speedy deletion will be deleted as soon as they are noticed by an administrator"), and was then re-created as a redirect to the county. Does it make sense as a redirect? I know nothing about the area, but in general it has been considered problematic to create a redirect for a place that might merit an article, and in such cases it would be better to leave the article as a skeleton or as a redlink.

I'd propose deleting the redirect unless it it is clear that the town in question does not meet the WV:WIAA criteria. -- Ryan &bull; (talk) &bull; 17:39, 17 January 2017 (UTC)


 * I have no objection to recreating the article as an outline skeleton rather than a redirect; what I objected to was the speedy deletion of a real place. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 17:41, 17 January 2017 (UTC)


 * As far as I'm aware speedy deletion is standard practice for places that are either page creation vandalism or spam links - the "don't delete real places" rule is generally only applied when figuring out what to do with an article created in good faith that doesn't meet WV:WIAA. -- Ryan &bull; (talk) &bull; 17:47, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
