The draft is based on understandable confusion. I think it arose from confusion that the 2016 series, aka series 23, would be considered the first year of a new series. In any case, if the mainspace redirect makes sense, so does a redirect from here. The target is apparently debatable, so redirect
378:
I don't think the confusion was reasonable. It was based on the belief that because there were new hosts, the series would be a completely new program, and there was never anything that stated that. All of the advertising and news articles pointed to it simply being a continuation of the existing
447:- As I said on the talkpage it would make more sense for a new article however there's dividing opinions on it and at the moment there's no consensus to split the article so as there's no consensus (and unlikely to ever be) it makes more sense to just delete it, –

Draft has no chance of becoming an article. There is no 2016 TV program called Top Gear. There only is a series 23 of the program that started in 2002. No point in wasting more of our time on this.

would not be appropriate, as this draft is about an entire show, not just one series ("season" in US terminology). Assuming Top Gear is not cancelled due to low ratings,

Nom is correct. This draft was created on the assumption that series 23 of Top Gear was going to be a whole new show. It's not so this draft serves no purpose. --
283:
Indeed, salting the draft page is possible but, as I said, redirecting the page to the article for a single series of the programme is not appropriate anyway. --

Topic is already an article. Redirection is appropriate for accidental content forks because if one person has made the mistake already, so could others. --

Can you imagine someone attempting to draft "Top Gear (2016 TV series)"? It has happened already. Deletion of mistakes dooms for them to be repeated. --

Agree that a redirect is not appropriate (or even useful) here. I can't imagine someone typing "Draft:Top Gear (2016 TV series)" into the search box.
