News Reporter's Terms are not necessarily suitable for redirects
[edit]When browsing Wikipedia, I noticed that there was a discussion about a redirect to Donald Trump, with a name which was used by a news reporter and, although I noticed that the user had been using sockpuppets, the point still stands that news reporter's terms should still not, in most circumstances be used to create redirects.
Newspapers have bias
[edit]Newspapers generally don't have a neutral point of view as they reflect the views of their owners. This means that they aren't suitable for direct quoting without another reliable source.
