Pat Crerand

Hi, may I ask for your advice with anotherwise straightforward page move I cannot make due to an existing redirect? In summary, the redirect needs to come from "Pat Crerand" to "Paddy Crerand" and not the other way round: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pat_Crerand refers. Can you do the swap or tell me how to? Thank you Billsmith60 (talk) 19:34, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Billsmith60 the redirect has a non-trivial history, so it would need to be deleted to make way for the move. This can be done by any admin but as you've opened an RM it's probably best to let that conclude. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:09, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Much obliged. The redirect was leading to a rename/move request "renaming" the page to itself! Regards Billsmith60 (talk) 21:40, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
