Moved from Talk:Scandal sheet

@Uanfala, Narky Blert, Mathglot, and JHunterJ: Hello all. I picked you as my victims for this question as I saw your names appearing frequently in the history for Wikipedia_talk:Disambiguation. I ran into some confusion when (after learning of the 1952 film Scandal Sheet), I ran a wp search on the string (all lowercase) "scandal sheet", which led me (via a redirect on "Scandal sheet") to Tabloid journalism. At first I wrongly concluded, with surprise, that we somehow did not have an entry for the film. When I tentatively stuck my toe in the waters of creating a new disambiguation page at Scandal sheet (disambiguation), I discovered the page already exists, and that it redirects to the disambiguation page Scandal Sheet, which lists four films by that name. Am I right in thinking that maybe Scandal sheet should redirect to Scandal sheet (disambiguation), and that that disambig page should list the tabloid journalism article, the films, and maybe to the Wiktionary entry as well (wikt:scandal sheet)? I considered trying to bring this about, but quickly concluded that I was more likely to commit a blunder than make an improvement. Any thoughts? Eric ^talk 04:54, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gud catch! I've seen this type of problem before; it's not uncommon. Either (1) everything should be on the DAB page, or (2) there should be a {{redirect||Scandal sheet|Scandal sheet (disambiguation)}} hatnote on tabloid journalism. It's a question of whether the lowercase version is not or is a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT; a matter for WP:CONSENSUS. My feeling is that it is, because none of the films is well-known; so count me as !voting for option (2).

The Wiktionary link should indeed be added somewhere; another good catch. I'd suggest at the top of the DAB page as {{wikt|scandal sheet}} per MOS:WTLINK.

On a procedural note, I checked the links to lowercase scandal sheet, and they're all OK. Narky Blert (talk) 07:02, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with most of the above. However, I don't think many readers will seek the Tabloid journalism article by searching for "scandal sheet", so I'd be inclined to make Scandal sheet a redirect to the dab ("Scandal sheet" and "scandal sheet" are the same page: as configured here, the wiki software doesn't distinguish capitalisation for the first character of a page title).

I wouldn't add a Wiktionary link: the topic is covered here on Wikipedia, so there's no need to send people elsewhere. I'm not sure about the exact meaning of the term "scandal sheet": if it's just a synonym for tabloid (as is stated in the tabloid journalism article), then we can just link to that article. If, on the the contrary, it has a different shade of meaning (as seems to be implied by the Wiktionary entry), then we can rework the information from Wiktionary into the description of the dab entry (in that case, it would be acceptable to ignore MOS:DABBLUE and have links in the description to Sensationalism and possibly Celebrity). – Uanfala (talk) 11:06, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you both for your input! I was sure something wasn't quite right. I would say that the term "scandal sheet" is in much less common use now than it was during the era the first three movies were made, and so I might speculate that the majority of searchers on that term would not necessarily have term definition as their primary goal. Eric ^talk 14:41, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Eric:, good catch, and good comments. The only thing I'd add, is to consider raising this issue at WP:Redirects for discussion, where you'd get a wider audience. If you do, you could top it with a {{Discussion moved from}} template linking this page, and add a {{Discussion moved to}} below, linking the new one. Mathglot (talk) 01:15, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hatnote it. Scandal sheets (tabloid journalism) are the primary topic of lower-case "scandal sheet". — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 20:55, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input. How is the primary topic determined? See my last comment in the initial discussion above. Eric ^talk 22:56, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm unsure about this. Most of the Google news results are for the journalism term, an indication that it is still in use, but results on the first page of web search are all for the 1952 film, and book search results are mixed. The 1952 film has most page views of anything with this title, but there seems to be no correlation with the views for the lowercase term.(https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=last-year&pages=Scandal_Sheet_(1952_film)%7CScandal_Sheet_(1931_film)%7CScandal_Sheet_(1939_film)%7CScandal_Sheet_(1985_film)%7CScandal_sheet%7CScandal_Sheet). Scandal sheet and tabloid journalism are not identical topics (a scandal sheet contains tabloid journalism), so I created a redirect Scandal sheet (journalism). Possibly redirect Scandal sheet to the disambiguation page for now. Peter James (talk) 18:51, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Soft redirect to Wiktionary. The late side discussion about the Big'uns and Big 'Uns redirects could continue as a separate discussion if need be. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:10, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Biguns → Lord of the Flies (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Not mentioned in the target article. Seems like a plot point in target article's subject, but without definition in the target article, readers could be scratching their heads wondering why they were redirected here. In addition, search results for the term "Bigun" (Search results) return quite a few articles using this term that are not related to the target article. (Apparently, "Bigun" is a surname for several people.) In addition, the Wiktionary page Wiktionary:bigun exists. Steel1943 (talk) 20:34, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note that we also have Big'uns which is a redirect to Al Bundy. Big 'Uns is also a photographic work of Dayna Danger. ~~So if either of those is made a dab, biguns can retarget to it, and the dab can have the wikt entry as well.~~ Jay 💬 16:39, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just created redirect Big 'Uns. I struck off my above vote as I don't think the Al Bundy redirect is required. Just one minor mention of Big'uns as a (fictional?) magazine of a fictional character. I would prefer Big'uns to share the same fate of Biguns. Jay 💬 14:38, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Colonial Building; a much more probable intended target for this rather specific search term than a broad style of architecture. An anonymous username, not my real name 00:03, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The current redirect's search case seems to be as 'Colonial' building style, and not as the proper noun landmark, so oppose on those grounds, but support adding hatnote to disambiguate. BhamBoi (talk) 08:23, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Colonial architecture as a more broad article on the various colonial building styles. Per WP:SMALLDIFFS, it makes sense to separate the building called "Colonial Building" with the more general colonial building style. Randi Moth (talk) 17:09, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
