Add a hatnote to
Wikipedia:Reference Desk instead, fixes the CNR issue while retaining the desired Wiki Ref desk.--

Adding a hatnote to
Wikipedia:Reference desk wouldn't do anything to help readers who look up "Wikipedia Reference Desk" and find themselves somewhere other then our Reference Desk. Also there's not much of a cross-namespace redirect issue here. The big anti-CNR argument is probably (from
WP:CNR"CNRs are bad because they result in a person (reader) walking around a building (encyclopedia) and falling into the pipework (project space) because the builders (editors) thought cracks in the walls and floors would be useful for them to get around." but our reference desk exists for our readers, so in this case that's an argument for keeping this CNR.

Delete a {{
selfref}} at
reference desk would be all that's needed, and it already exists (at the target of reference desk) --

This can't be deleted, or at least not easily. It was an article until it was merged into
Wikipedia, and we need the edit history to give the contributors credit.

Retarget to
Wikipedia:Reference Desk, most likely the intended target. CNRs pointing people to where they want to go are much better than ugly self-referential hatnotes in article space. —Kusma (

Retarget to
Wikipedia:Reference Desk, which is almost certainly the desired target. Per EHC, the reference desk is a reader-facing location aimed at answering factual questions they have - it is sort of a halfway house between encyclopaedia and project spaces.

The result of the discussion was Speedy delete per
WP:CSD#G6 - redirect created when fixing a page moved to the wrong namespace.

Page was created through an errant move. Editor intended to move his user page to an article page. This page has no purpose.
