It seems that is most commonly refers to burial at sea rather than the current target, but not sure it should simply be redirected or if it's worth disambiguating at Water burial or elsewhere. Mdewman6 (talk) 20:51, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Disambig in terms of long-term significance burial at sea is the primary, but the first page of my search results is primarily about the present target (due at least in part due to recent UK news) with some results also about scattering cremated ashes in water, for Cremation#Retention or disposal of remains is probably the best target as that covers scattering of ashes in the River Ganges and similar, even though the burial at sea article (which is regarded as the main article) doesn't. Thryduulf (talk) 09:16, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:R#D8 situation. Nobody is going to search for Fred on Wikipedia while replacing the e with a 3 and fully capitalizing it. It has also looks like and has been used as an acronym, admittedly for things we don't have coverage of, but I think the slight confusion that could arise makes this better off deleted.

It was added at the page in 2011 by Ruigeroeland, a butterfly expert but a user since blocked, and it may have been a typo, because the line above it in the same edit had "Phalaena lacustrata" with the correct spelling.

Implausable search term, would potentially cause confusion with users searching for __ university in general and being redirected to a much more nation specific topic Justiyaya 13:25, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. These are broad search terms that if searched are likely to give the reader confusion. What's more is that the target place doesn't really have any info on these universities either. ULPS (talk • contribs) 14:46, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I would like to address the concerns raised regarding the redirects I created for specific types of universities in China. It is my belief that these redirects are beneficial for both editors and readers, and here's why:
  1. Cultural and Administrative Specificity: It's important to note that the classification of universities based on their academic emphasis is a unique and significant aspect of China's higher education system. These aren't just broad terms but are official categories formulated by the Ministry of Education of China. The way China classifies its universities is distinct and not found in other countries, making these terms unique to the Chinese context.
  2. Convenience for Editors: When writing about Chinese universities, editors often need to reference these specific classifications. Having a redirect link to the "Types of universities and colleges in China" page will streamline the editing process and ensure consistency across Wikipedia articles.
  3. Enhancing Reader Comprehension: For readers unfamiliar with China's university classification system, these redirects offer immediate context. Without these redirects, a reader might be left wondering what a "Science and Engineering University" or a "Medicine and Pharmacy University" specifically refers to in the Chinese context.
  4. Addressing the Concern of Confusion: I understand the concerns about potential confusion. However, it's crucial to realize that these terms, when translated directly to English, are uniquely Chinese. A search for "Science and engineering university" in a global context would yield a myriad of results, but in the Chinese context, it refers to a specific classification. The redirect serves to educate and inform the reader about this distinct classification system.
  5. Content Enhancement: Regarding the comment that the target place doesn't provide much information on these universities, it offers a starting point. The Wikipedia page can be expanded in the future to provide more detailed information on each category, making the redirects even more valuable.
  6. Precedence: Wikipedia has numerous redirects for terms that might seem broad but are specific in certain cultural or national contexts. These redirects serve to guide readers to the most relevant information pertaining to their search.
In conclusion, the purpose of these redirects is not to generalize or simplify but to offer clarity and context specific to China's higher education system. I kindly urge the community to consider the benefits these redirects bring to Wikipedia's global audience and the potential for expanding knowledge on a unique aspect of China's educational landscape.

Three redirects pointing towards "Oldcastle Materials" which don't seem to be mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia, to my understanding.

The article for Bigfoot lists it as a mythical creature. The purported scientific name is likely to be a misleading redirect, especially when such name is not listed at the target article. Utopes (talk / cont) 00:35, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment this is not misleading in the sense that the target is the only thing referred to by this name, but without a mention I'm unsure how useful it is. Thryduulf (talk) 10:19, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I'm not sure how this is misleading, as it is the proposed scientific name for a hoax once believed to be real. Obviously refers to Bigfoot. --(Roundish ✡t) 21:55, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Roundish: It is a scientific name, when this creature does not actually have an real scientific name because it doesn't exist. This name is not mentioned at the article, and it's completely unscientific due to the creature not existing, so as long as the article doesn't refer to any made-up / theoretical scientific name, this redirect is confusing for readers who wouldn't know why bigfoot has a scientific redirect that doesn't get discussed or debunked at the target article. Utopes (talk / cont) 09:20, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But you would have to search for the scientific name to access the redirect. (Roundish ✡t) 12:33, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily, as there are other means of viewing redirects such as by seeing what pages link to a certain one. Redirects that contain completely standalone concepts which are not covered at the target page (for instance, the word "cognatus" appearing nowhere at the page), are often confusing to attuned readers that would be left guessing why the redirect exists without relevant information related to it, and confusing redirects should generally be removed.
