Both redirects point to different targets and should point to the same target. Both target articles have similar page views.[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-30&pages=Green_fluorescent_protein][https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-30&pages=Angry_Birds] Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 17:40, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
- Disambiguate If a term has two equally plausible meanings, a disambiguation page is called for. Mdewman6 (talk) 18:43, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Delete Green pig → Green fluorescent protein.The term is so vague as to have almost no association with GFP. If the consensus is to disambiguate then "Green Pig" should redirect to the "Transgenic Pets" portion of the GFP article where the only mention of pigs expressing GFP in their skins is found.

- ::I'm new to these types of discussion, so if that's the norm, that's fine. And on second thought a quick sentence contextualizing Green Pig → GFP in a disambiguation might be better than just linking the subsection where it comes up. Synpath (talk) 19:47, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
:::What do you mean by we usually keep singular redirects? You mean any redirect of a singular noun? Mdewman6 (talk) 23:44, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
::::Yes. Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 01:35, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
:::::Well I don't follow then, because there are lots of reasons a particular noun might not make a good redirect, and redirects are deleted here all the time for such various reasons. Mdewman6 (talk) 01:44, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

- Comment I have drafted a dab below the redirect at Green pig. Mdewman6 (talk) 02:28, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
- Use Mdewman6's dab page. This is a surprisingly insightful dab page, and thanks for taking the time to make it. I have struck out my comment above. ― Synpath 18:13, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
