Completely unnecessary redirect due to the article "The". Does not need to exist in any capacity, and it says an overwhelming precedent for any noun on Wikipedia to have redirects utilizing "The", "A", or "An". Please delete. TNstingray (talk) 18:19, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep "The Sasquatch" is an older term used to refer to the target. See, for example, the 1,300+ hits on [https://scholar.google.com/scholar?start=0&q=%22the+sasquatch%22&hl=en&as_sdt=0,11&inst=2365059173406736517 Google Scholar]. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 18:24, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- :Comment @Presidentman, wouldn't the use of articles such as "The", "A", and "An" create a concerning precedent tripling the number of redirects to nouns on the encyclopedia? Of course there are going to be tons of hits with "the [...]" as a normal function of the English language... does that mean we should have redirects for "the monkey", "the ape", "the humanoid", "the yeti", ad infinitum?

- ::This is different from "the monkey" etc. as (according to some) there's only one Sasquatch. So this is more like The United States, The Universe, The Moon, The Analects, or, for that matter, The Yeti or The Loch Ness Monster, all of which we have redirects for. —Mx.
