Andy just restored this page with the comment "''31 revisions restored: many pages link to this, so I don't think it should be deleted. Am I missing something?''".
No, you are correct. This page is the destination of many redirects.
If a page is deleted that we don't want recreated (offensive title, etc.), then the page is turned into a protected redirect to this article. This is because:
* If the offending page is simply deleted, there is nothing stopping someone else recreating it.
* If the offending page is simply emptied and protected, it will show up on the Random Page link, lists of uncategorised pages, etc. Making the page a redirect prevents these problems.
* If the offending page is made a redirect and ''not'' protected, there is again nothing stopping someone else recreating it.
NOTES:
* Instead of simply deleting the offending page's content and making it a redirect, if the content was particularly offensive, it is best to delete the page itself, then create a new one of the same name as a redirect to this page.
* If the title of the page is acceptable but the content is not, then deleting the page and ''not'' recreating/redirecting is better, as that then allows someone to recreate the page with legitimate content.
* If ''this'' page (not this talk page, but [[Conservapedia:Deletedpage]]) (or any page) is deleted and restored, as has happened at least twice now, the protection is lost and has to be reapplied.
