Answer to message on my talk page:

Because it was created as a redirect. If you want to do a full, well-developed article/list/disambiguation page - be bold! However, leaving a 5 word article is not a solution. Renata 04:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding. I don't see how leaving a 5 word stub is a problem. Nor do I see how reverting to a worthless redirect (which was included on the page anyway) is a solution. (Deletion I can understand.) Redirecting Maura to Maura Tierney makes as much sense as redirecting Renata to a porn star. Merely because someone did it first should not impose the burden on someone to be bold just to make it impartial and accurate. Other than the way it was first created, is there any reason for a semi-common name to be directed to a single celebrity?Aardhart 06:27, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, you lazy ass :) (kidding) I have created a full & nice disambiguation page :) Leaving a 5-word stub is not a solution, bacause (a) it is ugly, (b) is is way below WP standards, and (c) it shows up on Special:shortpages (that's how I found it). Renata 07:13, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It looks nice. Have you thought of doing the same with Renata? Aardhart 02:28, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, I don't think it is worth doing for all names. Besides it smells a little like vanity. Renata 06:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
