Defending redirect edit
@Praxidicae: Hey there, I'm not entirely sure if I understand what's happening with the recent edits and specifically why we're defending this redirect. There's nothing at Ghulaam that makes it obvious why there is a redirect from Bhaukaal to that article. It looks like it was created automatically as a result of a page move three and a half years ago. Per this June 2016 source, the series was tentatively titled Bhaukaal, but do we really expect anyone to keep searching for this working title from four years ago? So I'm a bit confused why an article about a new series titled Bhaukaal can't occupy a redirect to an article that isn't titled anything close to Bhaukaal.
Anyway, your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks and regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:13, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
- Cyphoidbomb It's not the same series, the series was tentatively named this and was later moved to Ghulaam, as noted in the log here. This is just non-notable spam by Draft:Rohit Chouhan. Praxidicae (talk) 13:33, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- If this spammer wants an article, they should create it under a correct title instead of hijacking other things, they should go through the proper channels imo. Praxidicae (talk) 13:34, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Praxidicae: Thanks for your response. For the record, I did acknowledge above that Bhaukaal was a working title for Ghulaam, and I know that the series being added now is not the same series. My confusion was about why someone couldn't create an article here if they were writing about a thing called Bhaukaal, which is what the person was trying to do.
"they should create it under a correct title instead of hijacking other things"
There would be no need to disambiguate, since Ghulaam hasn't been called Bhaukaal for over 3 1/2 years, and it's not like working title redirects are carved into stone. That said, this is the first time I'm hearing that you were concerned about spam. There's no mention of that in the edit history. So perhaps you can understand why I was confused.
