I've requested a history merge to Daniel Seavey, as someone seems to have mistakenly moved Daniel Seavey to Draft:Daniel Seavey recently. Daniel Seavey was then deleted by an admin as it was a cross-namespace redirect. Daniel Seavey was then relatively quickly recreated as a redirect to the relevant main topic, which I then reviewed as patrolled.
As it currently stands, Draft:Daniel Seavey was a former article before it became a redirect before all of this happened. It has edit history dating back to 2015, which I think is grounds for keeping it.
Sorry if this is confusing or inaccurate, I don't have access to the deletion logs as I'm not an admin, I've only stumbled upon this page as a new page reviewer. Fork99 (talk) 00:39, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that currently 'Daniel Seavey' links back to Why Don't We, however, I have created an actual article about Seavey. His career existed before Why Don't We and has continued on after the band broke up. I don't know too much about Wikipedia so someone please correct me if I'm doing something wrong. Thank you.

Question
User:Wiscoboy93, User:TheNuggeteer: Will someone please explain the comments to me about new redirects, or about redirect deletion? As everyone has noted, there is a redirect from Daniel Seavey to Why Don't We, and the redirect has history, because it has been an article, and then has been cut down to a redirect. There does not appear to have been a consensus on whether there should be a separate article on Seavey. If this draft is accepted, the redirect should be moved to draft space or to a subpage rather than deleted, because it has history. I do not think that there is any need to create or delete a redirect. Can someone explain what the redirect discussion is about? Robert McClenon (talk) 04:42, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
