Lab leak

[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was retarget to List of laboratory biosecurity incidents. In addition to winning a late majority, the addition of a hatnote at the redirect target obviates the main concern of editors in favor of disambiguation. signed, Rosguill talk 05:26, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Targeting this to the contemporary meaning of this (whether it be the misinformation or the investigations page) seems like WP:RECENTISM to me, and is also a possible WP:SURPRISE, as a reader searching for the term might just be looking for a generic outlook on that. I suggest a retarget to Laboratory safetyList of laboratory biosecurity incidents (as suggested below), although I see it doesn't appear to have an explicit mention of this anywhere (though that would be easily fixed by regular editing, methinks).

  • Agree with a redirect either to laboratory safety or list of lab biosecurity incidents. -Darouet (talk) 14:58, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. "Lab Leak" is a phrase being used in news media as a shorthand for "Covid-19 Wuhan lab leak theory" or equivalent. The redirection was set up recently for this purpose and it would be very rare for anyone to search for the term in any other context. If it redirected to List of laboratory biosecurity incidents which does not mention the covid-19 case then that would clearly be WP:SURPRISE, not the reverse. Adding this theory to that page would be inappropriate since all the other incidents listed there are verified. I think it is a notable phrase in recent news and may remain so in future. Redirecting to Investigations into the origin of COVID-19 seems like the most helpful option for people seeking related information. I prefer that redirection to remain, but second best alternative would be to delete it entirely rather than redirect to a page which does not have what is most likely being looked for. Weburbia (talk) 17:01, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I might agree more if the redirect was from "lab leak theory". I feel like "lab leak" alone is broader than that. Given the suggestions either redirect could be surprising, perhaps a disambiguation page makes more sense,? Bakkster Man (talk) 20:49, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to List of laboratory biosecurity incidents, with a hatnote to the COVID discussion. The general concept is much more likely to be a useful target in the long term. Or put another way: Hijack doesn't redirect to September 11 attacks, despite that being perhaps the most prominent example of a hijacking in the last 20 years. Ivanvector's squirrel (trees/nuts) 17:13, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I would agree with User:Weburbia in that it would be a WP:SURPRISE should the redirect be to the "Laboratory Safety" page. If someone were to be looking for information on Laboratory Safety they would search.....Laboratory Safety. The WIV Lab Leak hypothesis is a prominent topic in the discourse, and "Lab leak" is a concise and intuitive way to search for information on this topic. Hatnotes could be useful if we wanted to cover the user searching for Laboratory Safety effectively. Thank you all. CatDamon (talk) 18:17, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    This doesn't address the alternative proposal; nor concerns of recentism. Ivanvector's comparison also seems valid. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 18:35, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, fair point User:RandomCanadian - I am open to a redirect to "List of laboratory biosecurity incidents" should a hatnote be incorporated into that page, redirecting to "Investigations into the origin of COVID-19" should a reader be looking for information on that topic. Hoping that is fair, thank you all. CatDamon (talk) 18:41, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget per the squirrel. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 19:11, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget per RandomCanadian. –Novem Linguae (talk) 01:55, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • disambiguate/setindexify While biosecurity incidents are a form of lab leak, there are several other forms. In any case, it should not point to the COVID article, since it is overly generic. In the Cold War, one might expect this to refer to nuclear espionage. And chemical lab leaks have occurred with poisonous substances getting out. So a set index might be the best use of such a pagename, with espionage topics (including industrial espionage), nuclear radiological leaks, chemical leaks, biological substance leaks, all being listed -- 67.70.27.180 (talk) 02:49, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate per anon above. Retarget as suggested would be my second choice. This is too vague to point to COVID pages and we should avoid recentism. — Wug·a·po·des​ 19:34, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate between Investigations into the origin of COVID-19 for the laboratory accident hypothesis, COVID-19 misinformation for the conspiracy theory, and List of laboratory biosecurity incidents. The fact that this redirect was created in 2021 in response to COVID, and that COVID information is what the vast majority of readers are looking for, dictates that COVID content should be easily accessible for readers who search for "lab leak". When was the last pandemic of comparable scale and impact? COVID will remain relevant for a long time, so recentism shouldn't be that much of a concern. feminist (+) 12:00, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I came to Lab leak looking for information about the Wuhan lab leak getting so much media attention now. Not sure why we don't have an article for it yet senators are questioning people about it now and ample news coverage. Dream Focus 03:35, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • disambiguate, It's obvious that plenty of people are going to search for this term expecting information on the COVID lab leak hypothesis. We need to have some sort of redirect pointing people in the direction of what they are actually looking for. For now, a disambiguation page would definitely help. I oppose redirecting to "List of laboratory biosecurity incidents", which of course doesn't mention the COVID lab leak hypothesis and therefore wouldn't be appropriate as a redirect. Krow750 (talk) 01:23, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as is. From a cursory search, "Lab leak" (sometimes hyphenated as "Lab-leak") is a term specific to covid. Agree with CatDamon that it would be a surprise if the reader sees no Covid related content related to the topic.
On disambiguation: Anon 67 mentions the Cold War and other varied scenarios, but I would like to first see references that tie "lab leak" to any. Talk:COVID-19 misinformation#The Lab leak hypothesis needs a stand-alone article gives many example sources, but none of them mention lab leak, or even leak. The closest I found was the 2007 UK foot-and-mouth outbreak, but the text "lab leak" was used literally, and not as a term. Let us not retrofit the literal term to laboratory articles like safety. Agree with CatDamon that someone looking for lab safety will try "lab safety". If future outbreaks are referred to as lab leaks, then sure we should disambig. Disagree with disambig to COVID-19 misinformation, the original target of this redirect. What started as a theory or hypothesis, later turned into investigation, the current target.
On recentism: While WP:RECENTISM applies to article titles and content, it makes no mention of redirects. Just like WP:RNEUTRAL, redirect names should be flexible as it helps keep the respective targets balanced with respect to recentism. Jay (talk) 10:01, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep Sapnap, redirect GeorgeNotFound (after restoration) to Dream SMP and delete the rest. -- Tavix (talk) 19:04, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The subjects regarding these redirects can not count as WP:ITSA, because most part of them haven't become famous by just playing with Dream, and the few that have become famous because of Dream have established their own notability in the Minecraft community (notability that is not enough to deserve a Wikipedia article in most cases, due to lack of reliable sources).

The result of the discussion was retarget to Glossary of French expressions in English#moue. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 06:55, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See this RfD. Should this target facial expression as it is right now, or pout, snout reflex, wikt:moue, deleted, disambiguated, or what? I don't have a preference for any of the options currently, other than that the current target is a bit inferior to any other target IMO. J947's public account 21:55, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This one is 11 tears in the past, not the future. UnitedStatesian (talk) 03:40, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to ITF Men's World Tennis Tour. Futures tournament, Futures tennis tournaments, and Futures tennis events redirects there and I believe that was the original intention. I'm boldly redirecting Futures tennis tournament to there now. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 02:04, 10 June 2021 (UTC) striked redirect 14:40, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as ambiguous. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:50, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: what a relic of the past. No suitable target as there's no dominant "tennis event" that most readers would expect this to point to, and we don't have a list of all future (major) tennis events (List of tennis tournaments doesn't have an "Upcoming" section). Looking at the history, maybe this was supposed to be referring to ITF "Futures tournaments", but the singular in the redirect title makes this unclear and implausible as a search term. — Bilorv (talk) 18:14, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Bilorv, good find! I believe that was the intended target, and easy to mistake singular/plural in search AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 02:06, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That said, it wouldn't be missed either considering the Futures (with s) versions already have redirects there. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 14:40, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
