::People are being very selective about application.  If the assertion is that this article should be redirected according to policy follow that very policy - where has the AFD discussion occurred as mandated by that very same policy? 
 ::Remember that redirection is contrary to policy and ultimately AN/I worthy unless you can legitimately assert: 
 ::*You have searched for sources and not found any.  Given this has been going on for 12 months I find it difficult to believe the pro-deletionists have found nothing in all that time. 
 ::*If a redirect takes place the contents are merged.  Among other things, this implies the target is actually edited as a result of the merge.  It does not mean that circular links to the old article for more information are left in place unedited. 
 ::*The redirect is non-controversial or had been discussed at AFD. 
 ::Have any of these conditions been met?
