Even if it didn't explicitly say "Insomnia 2005" in big letters, remixes and new versions of old (pop, rap, r&b, etc) songs that would otherwise have the same title as the prior work are frequently suffixed with the year, meaning that searching for the 2005 mix of "Insomnia" under the title "Insomnia 2005" is very logical. The point of redirects is to help people find the articles they are looking for, and as they are so
669:"Faithless" is the name of the band, not the name of the song, so it's presence on the cover is not really relevant. Web search engines work off our redirects just like our internal search does - they can only work with what we give them. Why should we expend the effort of deleting the redirect to make navigation harder for users of internal and external search utilities?
747:
because there is at most one article in the encyclopedia to which it refers, and it is therefore not ambiguous. Whether it should exist as a redirect to that one article, or to nothing at all, is another matter. However, since there does not seem to be anything more relevant that a search could bring

Idiotism is the often found human particularity involving one in process of doing something without thinking about that first. Such redirects encourage exactly this manner of operation. If we make them stay, we'll end up with each and every combination of words being a redirect to some article where

In many cases where a redirect nominated here was created from an article without apparent discussion there is merit in restoring the article in favour of an AfD or merge discussion; however in this case the article would stand no chance of surviving

This seems to be the name of a TV movie made in 1991. Other than it may have been aired in 1991, there is no reason for a redirect to point to an unsourced list of films created in 1991. The redirect is unhelpful, and violate
