Since editors looking at this redirect would look here before any of the article talk pages in question, this seems like the best place to have this discussion so that later editors can review rational and add to the discussion as needed without the discussion being lost.
My feeling is that this redirect should link to the Christianity article, which per wikipedia standards discusses what mainstream Christians believe (as opposed to fringe theologies.) If an editor wants to have a wikilink to specifically the Nicene Creed from another page they should just link to Nicene Creed. If they create a link to Mainstream Christianity and Mainstream Christianity redirects to Nicene Creed, that is basically creating an WP:EASTEREGG through a redirect, which should be avoided.
It’s also worth noting that while most (though probably not all) Christians who would be considered or consider themselves to be mainstream believe in the Nicene Creed, whether or not Christianity should be defined solely by the creed is controversial, so it is best to just link to the Christianity page to avoid taking a POV stance on that. - Relinus (talk) 23:48, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
