Delete. Redirect term not included within target. Hildeoc (talk) 15:46, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep it's a synonym, can add the {{tl|R from synonym}} template. Polyamorph (talk) 16:08, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
:{{re|Polyamorph}} Firstly, I wouldn't be too certain about the synonymy; cf. e. g. [https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/computer-studies] vs. [https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/computer-science]. In addition, one would also still have to find a proper way of including the concept "Computer studies" within computer ...--Hildeoc (talk) 16:40, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
::I only noticed the one redirect in my first post, so to clarify they both should redirect to Computer science. Polyamorph (talk) 22:01, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- Target both to Computer science, which is described as the study of computers. It is not be at all difficult to find sources using the phrase, "Computer studies" (in both capitalizations) to describe the concept covered under computer science. bd2412 T 19:26, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
:{{re|BD2412}} Then it should be taken care that the term "Computer Studies" or "computer studies" is mentioned there (in boldface) as per WP:R#PLA.--Hildeoc (talk) 17:12, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

- Target both to Computer science: Having taught Computer Studies, Computer Science and Information Technology I have a clear idea of where one starts and one ends. We have some interesting issues here- firstly Computer Science has never been a science it really is a technology, information technology has never been a technology either. In the UK schools sense- lower school (to 16) studied computers doing Computer Studies, and upper school carried on and did Computer Science which was a university application subject. When Computer Studies was made compulsory- there was a massive shortage of teachers with analysis and programming skill- so that element was ripped out and the resulting Microsoft Office studies course that remained was called Information Technology or just IT. We have an inclusion issue here- the many have heard of IT and computer studies but never of computer science. For search purposes the redirect is correct, it is a common term that leads the reader to the correct term. ClemRutter (talk) 20:57, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- Retarget both to computer science as the most common phrasing of CS. Information technology is mentioned several times in that subject. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:49, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
::{{re|ClemRutter|AngusWOOF}} In this case, I would like to, once more, point to the relevant guidelines.--Hildeoc (talk) 14:11, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Hildeoc}} There are some places on Wikipedia where no same man should venture! You just directed me there! I looked at Computer Science#Education to see whether the near synonyms were in bold. Me, who have been teaching CS to eleven year olds since 1981 see that: Since computer science is relatively new, it is not widely taught in schools. I now understand your comment. I can go in and edit that section but there will be knock on effects. The correct thing to do however is to place the redirect and fight it out on the landing page. I will put a target link in the education section- and copy across some of the comment I made above.
:::In the UK Computing has been obligatory for children over four since 2013 ([https://www.computingatschool.org.uk/data/uploads/primary_national_curriculum_-_computing.pdf| National curriculum]) By 2013 there were serious doubts whether the KS4 NC could be achieve due to the 30% shortage of CD rather than IT teachers. [https://www.wcmt.org.uk/sites/default/files/report-documents/Jones%20M%20Report%202015%20%20Final.pdf| Michael Jones Report] is helpful. By co-incidence I was teaching CS/IT at his school around 2001. ClemRutter (talk) 15:27, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
::::{{re|ClemRutter}} Thank you for your reply, but, since I'm not a native English speaker, I have to ask you for some clarifications: What exactly do mean by "no same man"? What does "CD" refer to here? And regarding the text you added in "Computer Science": What exactly is meant by the assertion that "provision was fractured" in the States?--Hildeoc (talk) 23:12, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
