Not mentioned at target. Google yields nothing relevant, nor even anything that clearly refers to an identifiable topic. Perhaps this makes sense as a mistranslation of Ma's name from Chinese? That's the only explanation that I can think of. --

- Oh, I see. This is the person referred to in the article as Yeou-Cheng Ma. Not sure how I'd feel about a redirect with that spelling, but, do you have sources showing that this spelling is used to refer to her? (I'll note that
Yeou-Cheng Ma currently is a redlink.) --

- Delete a correctly-spelled, capitalised, and hyphenated redirect might be helpful as a placeholder until she has her own article, given that a relative of a famous person might be a likely search term, and the target provides at least a bit of information about her. However there is no reason to retain a newly-created misspelling which appears nowhere else on the internet besides Wikipedia mirrors.

2021 Swaminarayan Akshardham controversy
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was retarget to
Swaminarayan Akshardham (North America)#Construction 2. Although there are potentially several Swaminarayan-related controversies, there is only one of 2021, so the redirects are so far unambiguos. There is less clarity on whether the redirects are plausible, but from the participants' comments (including some by those recommending deletion), it appears that the redirects will likely aid in reader searches. This closure should be taken as provisional, so the redirects can be nominated again at any time if any new evidence comes up. –

- Hi
Jay, yes, I am referring to an external search engine. That is an interesting essay, but my comment is not related to the search panel on Google. I am not proposing to fix Google, but this is an opportunity to decrease the American-focused bias on Wikipedia. The issue, which Google is merely a tool to demonstrate, is that Swaminarayan Akshardham and controversy appears regarding the Swaminarayan Akshardham terrorist attack in Gandhinagar, India. To illustrate, the lead of the Akshardham Temple attack article, about Swaminarayan Akshardham in Gandhinagar provides some context for that controversy, "In May 2014, a Supreme Court of India bench acquitted all the six prisoners of all charges and pulled up the Gujarat Police for shoddy investigation in the case." Someone looking for the Swaminarayan Akshardham terrorist attack will search for attack, but it is reasonable to think that someone searching for information regarding the subsequent legal actions would search for controversy. Best wishes,

- There is no mention of the word controversy in the
Akshardham Temple attack article. Nor is there a mention of controversy in the North America article, nor in the New Delhi article although the
Yamuna river bank environment clearance is popular with Google as a controversy. I understand your point now, but "Creating bias with search results using words in the redirect's title" is not a reason to Delete.

- I agree with
Skubydoo about the potential confusion but for different reasons: when I search Wikipedia using terms used in the titles of the redirect pages, the first result is the Swaminarayan Akshardham (North America) article. The proposed redirect to the same page would add an unnecessary extra step for users searching for information about the events in 2021 (and it could take users looking for information from 2002 to the wrong page).

- If searching for "2021 Swaminarayan Akshardham controversy" returns the first result as the North America article, then isn't our search results as expected? Users looking for the information from 2002 will not have search keywords with "2021" in it.
Jay (

14:31, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

- Jay, I agree that the results are as expected. But I think that reflects the redundancy of the redirect. Additionally, users who know details like the years of the events would know enough to be able to find the relevant articles on their own. The labor lawsuit was filed in 2021, but--as I understand it--the allegations are for over a longer period of time, so I didn't include "2021" in my search terms when I searched Wikipedia.

Delete or change scope of target.
The target article concerns the game also known as Svea Rike III, which is an entirely different game from Svea Rike I and II. It is therefore not a good redirect target for these two redirects. Either these redirects should be deleted, or the target article should be renamed and broadened in scope to include the entire Svea Rike series instead of only its third instalment.

There is no benefit to us in breaking those links (indeed as good internet citizens we should avoid breaking such links where possible) so we should link to the target which best matches what people are looking for. In this case, the best target is the current one where people will be able to find whichever pre-1980 season they are interested in.
