• Chunks → Chunks (Donkey Kong character) (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Chunks is an English word with specialized meanings in different fields. It should not be redirected at all within Wikipedia. Churn and change (talk) 23:26, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to the disambiguation page at chunky, which is where chunk points. - Eureka Lott 02:25, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to chunky. After looking at how WP handles similar words like 'whole' and 'part,' a disambig page does seem what is consistent. If I don't hear any objections in a few days, I will go ahead and do that directly. Churn and change (talk) 02:38, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to chunky per above.--Lenticel ^(talk) 05:55, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Keep. Tikiwont (talk) 19:03, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Critical_analysis_of_evolution → Critical Analysis of Evolution (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

The redirect is unneeded and is just to capitalize the title. ~~Ebe123~~ → report 02:00, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect can be deleted, I made it and then realized it wasn't needed. What do you mean by the redirect "is just to capitalize the title"? HMman (talk) 02:04, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you type "Critical analysis of evolution" into the search bar, you'll turn up the page no matter the case. Many times redirects are to something that would be more like an alias (aka having "Obama" redirect to "Barack Obama".) --Mr. Vernon (talk) 02:08, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, my intent had been to avoid having to pipe wikilinks to "Critical Analysis of Evolution", seeing as wikilinks are case-sensitive after the first letter. HMman (talk) 02:14, 11 August 2012 (UTC).[reply]

• It's harmless. Keep. Tagged as {{r from other capitalization}}. - Eureka Lott 16:14, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• After some consideration I have changed my vote to Keep. The redirect removes the need for wikilinks to be piped if no capitalization is used, which could be useful, such as in the first paragraph of Teach the Controversy: "The central claim the Discovery Institute makes with 'Teach the Controversy' is that fairness and equal time requires educating students with a 'critical analysis of evolution' where "the full range of scientific views"..." etc. As this example is referring to the Discovery Institute's Critical Analysis of Evolution, a wikilink would be appropriate there, and a redirect would simplify the link.

  • Comment: I would contend that your example is actually an instance of inappropriate easter egg-style wikilinking. By using lower case, the implication is that you are not using a proper noun, and sending the reader to an article about a curriculum campaign is misleading. This is an unprintworthy redirect, and it should not be linked to. BigNate37_(T) 19:45, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as standard {{r from other capitalization}}. KTC (talk) 21:58, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as plausible miscapitalization.---Lenticel ^(talk) 05:56, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, but not as {{R from other capitalization}}. {{R from incorrect capitalization}} is more appropriate, as if I am reading the article correctly, this is a proper noun (much like a literary work's title). BigNate37_(T) 19:47, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
