{{Talk page of redirect}}
Previous reversions suggest that issues be taken to ], but that page is only editable by Administrators. This means that an AfD for an existing article can be initiated repeatedly with a fairly low bar for the burden of proof. However, in order to re-open the discussion, I need to be an administrator?! There's a quote from the 2008 AfD that is think is quite relevant.

Reading the ], it seems that "Al Gore III" is not the same person as "Albert Arnold "Al" Gore" Jr, 45th Vice President of the United States. Can someone with edit rights change the redirect to ] so that this redirect at least gives a hint to avoid that confusion?

That was originally used to justify re-opening the AfD (when the article existed). Why can a regular editor not use such logic to re-open the AfD (for a deleted article) over 2 years later? I don't know all of the in's and out's of Misplaced Pages policy or how to initiate the politics associated with convincing an admin to raise this in ] ... which is why I've taken the "unilateral action" of recreating the article. ] (]) 02:46, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

It didn't seem to be in the category that you mentioned. Anyway I have now moved it to Category:Protected redirects. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:53, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Confusing redirect

Reading the deletion discussion, it seems that "Al Gore III" is not the same person as "Albert Arnold "Al" Gore" Jr, 45th Vice President of the United States. Can someone with edit rights change the redirect to Al_Gore_III#Marriage_and_family so that this redirect at least gives a hint to avoid that confusion? Diego Moya (talk) 22:09, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure why we have this redirect at all, but I've made the sensible change you suggested.   Will Beback  talk  23:44, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Could the following text:

]

...please be replaced with the following text:

{{R fully protected}}

...so that the redirect is is put into the category via a tranclusion in an Rcat template rather than a category transclusion? Also, can the section target be changed to Al Gore#Marriage and family (the current section redirect doesn't exist), as well as adding an {{R to section}} category tag? Thanks!
