I extended this from a redirect because: (1) It allows sensible categorisation as a fictional detective (2) Although the main entry was under Jean-Luc Picard, it contained quiet a lot of information quite irrelevant to Picard himself

I am the original author of this article, and you appear to have restored my original version. After I created the article, someone suggested that both it and the article Locutus should be merged with Jean-Luc Picard, seeing as "all three are the same person". Currently the article is a duplicate of the Dixon Hill section appearing in the Jean-Luc Picard article. Therefore the article should either be significantly expanded or turned back into a redirect. — JIP | Talk 13:44, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Restoring redirect

An editor well-intentionally restored the article over the redirect saying the redirect target doesn't mention Dixon Hill. A more appropriate step would be to go to RfD or shift some mention of Hill to the Picard article. Certainly editors adding/restoring content need to meet WP:BURDEN, which didn't happen by restoring the article. --EEMIV (talk) 13:28, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've again restored the redirect. Since the article-restoring editor again failed to meet WP:BURDEN, I just went ahead and nominated the redirect at RfD. --EEMIV (talk) 02:13, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@EEMIV: Mention of target was formerly present in the Picard article, but removed in this edit. Mention of target was formerly present in the List of Star Trek characters, but removed in this edit. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 07:11, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
