It may be the case that a redirect does not need left behind. This may occur if the article's original title is inappropriate or if the redirect would be unuseful. In this case, a [[Template:D|speedy delete tag]] should be placed on the redirect, and all pages that redirect or link to that page will need pointed to the new page. Primarily, the user who originally moved the page is responsible for this. Also note that admins can move an article without leaving a redirect, in which case they are responsible for any links to the original page. | It may be the case that a redirect does not need left behind.
