I am guessing previous prod was contested since the original editor removed it. I went to move the article to Blue Line (Taichung Metro) because of spacing issues on the title of this particular article. That’s when I found out I couldn’t move it because Blue Line (Taichung Metro) already exists which in turn redirects to Taichung BRT. It doesn’t make sense to redirect the article to a redirect which in and of itself is a redirect. BostonMensa (talk) 14:39, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Speedy move to Blue Line (Taichung Metro) The proposed move target currently redirects to the wrong article (title is about the metro but it's redirecting to the BRT). The only reason the move couldn't be done is that a bot fixed a double redirect. There still might be a justification to delete/redirect per WP:CRYSTAL, but otherwise Filing a technical move request per WP:MOR should resolve this AfD.

• Speedy Keep per above and WP:CSK #1. The nominator is not making a case for the article's deletion, but effectively a request to move the article to the correct title. Qualifying coverage of the proposed Blue Line includes: reporting from Eastern Broadcasting Company (generally reliable), Taiwan News (maybe reliable), and United Daily News, to name a few. -- Dps04 (talk) 07:17, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I really wasn’t trying to make an effective argument for deletion but I will try now. There is this article Blue Line(Taichung Metro) as well as Blue Line (Taichung Metro). The second one existed first. So, I couldn’t move the first article to the second one, appropriate spacing in the title, since an article by that name already exists. When I looked it up, I found it redirected to another article. So, to me, it doesn’t make sense to have article a → article b → article c. I have no opinion on whether or not b is appropriately redirected to c because I know nothing about the subject. I simply now I’ve come across pages where there is a comment that someone redirected an article that was involved in multiple redirects. I’m saying that the same should happen here.

  • This doesn't justify deleting the article, just moving it. If the move target already exists there are ways for an administrator to force a move. Jumpytoo Talk 20:06, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
