'''[[WP:R|Redirect]]''' – articles that don't meet notability guidelines but are mentioned or discussed in another article, conversion to redirect is a valid alternative to deletion. This can be done as a [[WP:BOLD|bold edit]] without prior discussion, but if disputed should be discussed further and eventually taken to AfD if no consensus can be found. If the article has relevant information cited to reliable sources, it may be appropriate to merge content.

'''[[WP:Draftify|Draftify]]''' – sending articles to draftspace is an option that should be used only for suspected [[WP:COI|conflicts of interest]], if you yourself are planning on improving the article, or if the article is for a future event and is likely to eventually be notable. An additional reason to use draftify is if content in the article can be repurposed for a different article about a notable subject (e.g. a non-notable author's biography may have content that could be used for an article about their notable debut novel)
