Delete the redirect. I really don't understand its logic. "he standard is to use one or someone... and never specific pronouns for people" (agreed), but then why a redirect? It makes more sense to delete it altogether if it is out of line with our standards. Imetsia (talk) 17:52, 17 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Imetsia I don't care enough to adamantly defend this specific redirect or anything, but I'm pretty sure there are other entries where him formations redirect to the one formation. I can't give any examples offhand, though. PseudoSkull (talk) 21:15, 24 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Imetsia There ought to be some precedent that excludes him forms as redirects, then, if you want to be consistent. That could be brought up as a vote perhaps, at the Beer parlour, etc. However, I'd weak oppose that in said discussion, because while I don't think it's exceedingly important, it is true that people way more often say him than one in these phrases. You could easily demonstrate this for any number of phrases in Ngram, so there is a likelihood that the him form will be searched for. PseudoSkull (talk) 23:30, 24 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Keep all such redirects. Anything that can reduce the risk of newcomers creating duplicates by ignorance of our conventions is good to have. PUC – 10:54, 25 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Keep the redirects, like we do for other entries where the entry is at a "genericized" title with "one" or "someone" (or no pronoun) but the phrase is most commonly used with specific pronouns and that's what people can be expected to look up; examples include take him down and of his word. - -sche(discuss)16:50, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
