 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
When faced with an article that lacks notability, it's generally preferable to redirect instead of delete. There's no reason to hide something just because its importance is unclear.
Since the writing of this essay, this practice has been adopted as a Wikipedia policy.
