Is this redirection not highly unusual? Note that Allred is barely mentioned on the page, and with no photo.

Allred did not completely disappear in 2010 BTW: He is the leader of -- hold your laughter please -- "CommonSenseAmerican." Jamesdowallen (talk) 15:52, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jamesdowallen: not really, this is a pretty regularly done thing. People notable for one thing are generally redirected to the pages for what they're notable for - in this case, Allred is not notable for anything else bar having run in this election, so it's redirected here. Similar to the link for A.J. Balukoff redirecting to the election he ran in. He may not have disappeared, but he's not notable outside of having run for this, so it only makes sense. Also, the reason he has no photo is because there's no copyright free photo of him available - if there ever is one discovered, it should absolutely be added here. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 11:24, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
