Currently, these redirects point to Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Creative professionals. This seems quite odd, given that academic economists (the kind we write about most frequently) would fall under Wikipedia:Notability (academics). I'd propose that the redirects be retargeted to Wikipedia:Notability (academics)#Criteria, which seems to be more appropriate than the current redirects given that framing economists as "creative professionals" is tenuous at best. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 19:59, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment JBchrch proposed effectively this in April last year at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)/Archive 2021#Should WP:ECONOMIST not redirect to WP:PROF? but got no response. Thryduulf (talk) 20:18, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Wikipedia:Notability (academics)#Criteria: Given that a majority of economists are academics, and the ones who aren't normally work for some sort of bank (central or otherwise), to whom the creative professionals criteria also does not apply, so redirect per nom.

• Retarget per nom. I can't see how economists are creative workers. Glades12 (talk) 19:47, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
