Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ryan Doolittle (2nd nomination)
per above. I just had the same argument with Tony over at WT:CCSI#Tweaks, so anyone interested can read my thoughts there. Basically, I agree that some information is better than none and the goal should be to provide readers this information at some location. The "do no harm" idea was rejected when crafting  precisely because it forces us to make -related decisions, i.e. when is it not "harmful" to redirect the article. The argument that a redirect {{tq|makes someone's name point to an article where they have zero control over the content}} does not work because no subject has ''any'' control over content written about them, no matter where the content is (cf. , ). And even if they did, why should they have less control at the redirect's target than they had at the article?  explicitly states that it {{tq|applies to any living person mentioned in a BLP, '''whether or not that person is the subject of the article''' ...}} (emphasis added). And if Ryan Dolittle is covered in a short sentence or two at Sean Doolittle, the policy that applies is the same. And no matter what the brother might do later, him being Ryan's brother will not change and ''that'' is already covered in plenty of reliable sources. Regards
