Trope Related Question:

Make Private (For security bugs or stuff only for moderators)

Bumping this by making the question a bit more concrete:

Until a proper creator page can be created, should the current redirect

a) be left in place because the useful note at least provides some information or b) be removed because it's not OK to redirect a creator page to a useful note?

The principle of this has some importance, because while in this case I feel that I can write a creator page for Anderson, I might come across other cases in the future where I don't know enough about the creator.

If you can make the proper creator page in the near future, do so. If not then cutlist the redirect.

I'll have a go at creating a proper creator page tomorrow or this weekend. I'll let the redirect be until then.

Just for the record, it is absolutely not okay to redirect a creator page to their work or to a Useful Notes page about something they're known for.

^Thanks. That’s what I thought.

To make things even worse, somebody has added a list of notable Anderson works that do not use Supermarionation to the Supermarionation page, in an attemp to make two wrongs into a right. It ain’t pretty…

”Supermarionation”, BTW, is obviously a triple portmanteau of super, marionette and animation, but today I can’t help reading it as a country where everybody plays a certain video game :)

I've created a proper creator page now, but it's a bit bare-bones since I'm really not familiar with Anderson's animated works. If any fans are reading this, please feel free to add more info.

I also removed references to Anderson's non-supermarionation works from SUpermarionation since those links are now completely irrelevant.
