Not if "Natural history museum" - with or without caps - is a topic worthy of encyclopedic coverage. I have added sourced content about the history of such institutions which should not be deleted, and exceeds what would go in a mere list article. There is much more that can be added.

Well, if this is what you're going to do with the page, it obviously belongs at
Natural history museum without caps. Also, I would suggest you either eliminate, cull down, or diversify the list of "Notable examples", as right now it still looks like a disambiguation page for the proper noun "Natural History Museum". -- tariqabjotu20:31, 30 June 2013 (UTC)reply
Those are not what I am talking about. You are changing correct uses of the redirect in order to avoid it. "Piping links solely to avoid redirects is generally a time-wasting exercise that can actually be detrimental. It is almost never helpful to replace
redirect with
redirect".

OK, it's a disambiguation again, so it really is broken now. Now I won't be surprised to see someone from
WikiProject Disambiguation drop by to complain that I should have fixed it before I broke it. Sometimes you get blowback from both sides ;) –

I haven't read all of the background, but the current setup doesn't look bad (with
Natural history museum being an article on the concept, and
Natural History Museum being a DAB page. The alternative seems to be, picking one celebrated natural history museum as a primary topic and have Natural History Museum go to that. Seems like a recipe for further confusion..
