The redirect has accrued a grand total of 95 views since creation on 6 February 2017, versus 464606 for the target. It is an implausible search term because it is phrased as a sentence. The sentence itself is not mentioned at the target. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 11:43, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment
I wouldn't call 95 page views in a little over a month implausible, that seems fairly well used.Also page view comparisons with the target article are meaningless, if we judged redirects with that logic we would end up with no redirects to popular pages and loads of them to rarely viewed pages. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 11:48, 17 March 2021 (UTC) - There's a typo in the nom statement - it was made in 2017, not 2021. that means it got what, 25 page views a year. that does seem a lot more implausible.
- Fixed. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 12:04, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
Relisting comment: Unclear what action needs to be taken here. Is this redirect actually implausible or not?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 23:42, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, I can imagine searching for "why do all Asians look the same" and indeed if I enter that (or even "why do all Chinese look the same") into Google it returns to me exactly that article. There are more factors, but I suspect redirects like these are taken into account by search engines. So even if it's not popular with human visitors (since when does popularity matter?), there's another reason to keep it. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 18:49, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
