Obamagate does not exist, the target article does not mention this term, and Wikipedia should not prop up or legitimize nutty QAnon conspiracy theories. That is Mr. Trump's job, not ours. --[[User:Bongwarrior|Bongwarrior]] ([[User talk:Bongwarrior|talk]]) 07:21, 12 May 2020 (UTC) |

*Spygate doesn't exist. Birtherism doesn't exist. Harry Potter doesn't exist. It's a plausible search term that should point ''somewhere''.

*'''Comment''': [[WP:CHEAP|Redirects are cheap]] and harmless. This is a plausible search term and its absence would make more of a political statement than its presence, although that could be the entire point of nominating this redirect for deletion. [[Special:Contributions/173.85.194.197|173.85.194.197]] ([[User talk:173.85.194.197|talk]]) 15:33, 12 May 2020 (UTC) |

***'''Comment''': I also agree that there should be a redirect. I arrived here because I searched for 'Obamagate' having heard the US President refer to it and state that it can be read about in all newspapers (except the Washington Post). I have noticed that some news outlets have now started to run articles explaining what Obamagate is or might be.

*'''Delete''' no evidence provided for the term and while it does not redirect to the same article as it did back then this should be deleted per the reasoning at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 March 9#Obamagate]].--[[Special:Contributions/69.157.252.96|69.157.252.96]] ([[User talk:69.157.252.96|talk]]) 15:37, 12 May 2020 (UTC) |

* '''Delete''' We don't even know what "Obamagate" is supposed to refer to.[https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-obamagate-conspiracy-theory-wont-explain-says-obvious-2020-5] It could mean something else, not Spygate, and therefore be mistargeted. – [[User:Muboshgu|Muboshgu]] ([[User talk:Muboshgu#top|talk]]) 17:02, 12 May 2020 (UTC) |

::That’s a good point since at one point this redirected to what is now known as [[Trump Tower wiretapping allegations]] before it was deleted a few years back.

*'''Mixed thoughts, but weak oppose deletion''' I think this redirect should continue to lead ''somewhere'', but I don't know where. My limited exposure to the word "Obamagate" makes me think that Spygate isn't the best target article, but it's still very unclear to me what it's actually meant to refer to. The majority of news articles I'm seeing are specifically about Trump's inability to explain what the term means. I don't understand what "Obamagate" is, but I think the term is at least receiving enough coverage that readers should be able to find relevant well-sourced information if they type the term into the search bar. If it redirects the user to an explanation about how it's one of Trump's neologisms or conspiracy theories, that's fine by me. If it redirects the user to a well-sourced overview of what the term alleges Obama may or may not have done, that's fine by me as well. I agree with Koavf and the anonymous IP editor that redirects are cheap and that even nonsensical made-up scandals warrant redirects because they're plausible search terms. <b style="font-family:Trebuchet MS">[[User:Vanilla Wizard|<b style="background-color:#07d;color:#FFF"> Vanilla </b>]][[User Talk:Vanilla Wizard|<b style="background-color:#749;color:#FFF"> Wizard </b>]]</b> [[Special:Contribs/Vanilla Wizard|💙]] 23:09, 12 May 2020 (UTC) |

* '''Oppose redirect.''' The Spygate article says that it's about Trump's conspiracy theory "that the Obama administration had placed a spy in his 2016 presidential campaign for political purposes." Obamagate doesn't refer specifically (and perhaps not at all) to that particular bit of Trump mendacity. According to [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-barack-obama-obamagate-a9509501.html this article], "Not even Trump appears to know what exactly Obamagate is," but it appears to relate more to the prosecution of Michael Flynn. I think "Obamagate" is notable enough to merit its own article. The unfortunate truth is that Trump, because he's President of the United States, has an unmatched "bully pulpit" for spouting pure bullshit and thereby rendering it notable. A wikilink to the Spygate article would be appropriate, though.

*'''Delete and salt''' - Per [[WP:NOTPROPAGANDA]]. This obscure neologism used as a redirect to [[Spygate (conspiracy theory)]] should be deleted per [[WP:R#DELETE]] 2, 3, 5, and 8. I generally disagree that it should be redirected somewhere as we are supposed to be writing an encyclopedia, not the Trumpian version of [[Urban Dictionary]]. However, if we had to keep this redirect, the most appropriate target would probably be [[Veracity of statements by Donald Trump]]. - [[user:MrX|MrX]][[user talk:MrX| 🖋]] 02:08, 13 May 2020 (UTC) |

::Wikipedia doesn't ''promulgate'' propaganda but we ''report'' propaganda if it's notable. The article [[And you are lynching Negroes]] is distinct from all the articles that report the facts about lynching; that one reports the facts about the USSR's propaganda about lynching. Of course, lynching was real, but our [[Death panels]] and [[Stab-in-the-back myth]] articles report on notable bits of propaganda that were false.

*'''Keep''' From what's being said by POTUS, it's pretty much the [[Spygate (conspiracy theory)|Spygate]] controversy, rebooted in 2020 with a "dirty cop" claim instead of a "spy". If you delete it without salting, it will almost certainly be recreated. If you salt, editors will include "Obamagate" ion the Spygate article and articles will link to there. Deleting is a bad idea since it's counterproductive, doing nothing and letting the Wikipedia community run its course seems appropriate.

|||
::The issue isn't making sense of it. The issue is whether the term, be it sensible or nonsense, is notable. I just did a Google search for "Obamagate" and got 2.2 million hits (up from, IIRC, 1.6 million just a day or two ago). Having the article wouldn't constitute an endorsement. In fact, the article, along with reporting statements by Trump and his supporters, should also report the notable opinion, per [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-barack-obama-obamagate-a9509501.html the link I posted above], that, as you say, even Trump is flailing around to try to find some specific accusation.

*'''Comment''' Perhaps send it to [[Veracity of statements by Donald Trump]]?--[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 15:33, 13 May 2020 (UTC) |

:*'''Redirect''' to [[Veracity of statements by Donald Trump]] - if this link is getting [https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages=Obamagate almost 10,000 hits in two days] then we should redirect it somewhere.--[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 22:37, 14 May 2020 (UTC) |

*'''Comment''': As I write this, this search term has gotten [https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages=Obamagate almost 10,000 hits in two days]. So, I don't think it is wise to just delete it, because people will just come looking for it and sooner or later want to create it again. Perhaps there is some editing or subsection creation we could do at [[Veracity of statements by Donald Trump]], that references reliable sources ([https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/05/trump-tweet-obamagate-rand-paul-richard-grenell.html Slate], [https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/05/obamagate-trump-michael-flynn-obama-fbi-russia.html New York Magazine], [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-press-conference-obamagate-coronavirus-twitter-obama-flynn-a9509481.html The Independent]) that explain that Trump made reference to this term in a recent press conference, but refused to elaborate on its meaning? I am certainly open to discussion; Thanks to all for your contributions to WP. [[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]] ([[User talk:KConWiki|talk]]) 05:28, 14 May 2020 (UTC) |

*'''Comment''' There has been considerable coverage of this term, much of which has been posted above. See also [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/12/what-is-obamagate-and-why-is-trump-so-worked-up-about-it] which also emphasises (like the above sources) that it's not known what the term actually refers to. The term was not apparently coined by Trump. Its earliest uses appear to be in reference to the [[Trump Tower wiretapping allegations]], ascribed to unnamed supporters of Trump (see [https://money.cnn.com/2017/03/06/media/mark-levin-joel-pollak-breitbart-trump-obama/]). This renders the current redirect to Spygate invalid. On the other hand, I think it's likely that Trump was thinking of the Spygate theory when he used the term, but we cannot base a decision on attempted mindreading of the president. Best solution, eventually, will be to have a page specifically for conspiracy theories supported by Donald Trump, redirect Obamagate to there, and give it a section outlining his promotion of this theory along with the fact that nobody seems to know what it is. For now, I think redirecting to Spygate is the best option. It certainly shouldn't be deleted when it's receiving so much coverage. It's definitely notable.[[User:Wikiditm|Wikiditm]] ([[User talk:Wikiditm|talk]]) 09:55, 14 May 2020 (UTC) |

* '''Redirect''' to [[List of conspiracy theories promoted by Donald Trump]]. I think it could be made a subsection. [[User:Afvalbak|Afvalbak]] ([[User talk:Afvalbak|talk]]) 11:55, 14 May 2020 (UTC) |
|||
::That seems like a plausible approach, but my concern is that "List of" articles are usually just lists. In this instance, the subsection would presumably be along the lines of "Trump has used the term 'Obamagate' to allude vaguely to some sort of improper conduct by his predecessor, but has not specified exactly what it was, although he used the term in the context of the prosecution of Michael Flynn." That would work ''unless'' it leads to an edit war in which people repeatedly remove the subsection on the grounds that it's not proper for a "List of" article. Are you confident that it would stay?

|||
*'''Delete''' due to [[WP:NOPRIMARYTOPIC]]. Viewing a sample of the 2.2. million Google hits makes it clear that the term "Obamagate" has been applied, both while he was president and since, to pretty much anything President Obama did that someone didn't like. [[User:UnitedStatesian|UnitedStatesian]] ([[User talk:UnitedStatesian|talk]]) 19:17, 14 May 2020 (UTC) |

|||
*'''Delete and replace with a short article''' Obamagate is in the news. Somebody hearing the term may very likely come here to understand what the term means. So a brief, well sourced NPOV article that talks about Trump's and the right-wing press' conspiracy theories would be the best way to deal with it. See also can link to the other places mentioned as redirect targets. -- <b>[[User:Sam|Sam]]</b><span style="color: #CCCCFF;">[[User talk:Sam|uelWantman]]</span> 02:40, 15 May 2020 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Delete''' - unless good cites can be found that say "Obamagate" = "Spygate", Wikipedia should not be deciding this. If Trump refuses to explain what is meant by it, then all that Wikipedia should be doing, if it is determined that it is notable, is creating an article that effectively says; "Term used by Trump, unknown meaning". --[[User:Escape_Orbit|<span style="color: green;">Escape Orbit</span>]] <sup>[[User_talk:Escape_Orbit|(Talk)]]</sup> 12:36, 15 May 2020 (UTC) |

*'''Redirect''' to [[Veracity of statements by Donald Trump]]. Nobody actually has a clue what this scandal is supposed to be, because it's made-up drivel. But people are Googling for it. Our least-bad option is a redirect to the most pertinent article we have. [[User:XOR'easter|XOR'easter]] ([[User talk:XOR'easter|talk]]) 14:27, 15 May 2020 (UTC) |
|||
*Trump released an [https://www.instagram.com/tv/CAGbYDMgbGs/ IGTV video] that does gove more insight into what "Obamagate" refers to, now just to wait for secondary reliable sources to write about it. Optimally we'd have a full article about this topic, being a newly-invented strategy of Trump (very new, see Praxidicae's links above to google trends) that is likely going to receive much more than the already significant coverage it has now. Best regards, [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 15:18, 15 May 2020 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Redirect''' to [[List of conspiracy theories promoted by Donald Trump]]. This should probably be deleted as not notable, but if it has a redirect, then it should go to [[List of conspiracy theories promoted by Donald Trump]]. Best, [[User:MySixthSense|MySixthSense]] ([[User talk:MySixthSense|talk]]) 18:57, 15 May 2020 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Redirect''' to that dumb and insulting list article. That it's not real is irrelevant, that Trump doesn't know what he's accusing someone of is also irrelevant--fact is he said it, it's been repeated, etc. The coverage is there, and that seems to be what counts these days. [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 21:02, 15 May 2020 (UTC) |

*'''Delete''': not well defined, probably nn. Too soon to include either as an article or a redirect. --[[User:K.e.coffman|K.e.coffman]] ([[User talk:K.e.coffman|talk]]) 00:41, 16 May 2020 (UTC) |

Revision as of 00:52, 16 May 2020
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on May 12, 2020.
Interstate 425
- Interstate 425 → Interstate 270 (Colorado) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
not mentioned at the target. I see that U.S. Route 425, although I'm not sure if it's ever referred to as "Interstate 425". Either redirect to there or delete if no justification for the current target can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 21:51, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete: I don't know either. But U.S. Route 425 is not Interstate 425 as a quick search pops up. And plus Interstate 425 is nonexistent. 3125ATalk!Contributions! 15:50, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
- Revert Imzadi1979's move of Interstate 425 in Colorado to Interstate 425, to fix the page history back to CRoy77's intent when creating the redirect. In fact, I would warn Imzadi1979 that suppressing the redirect is a violation of WP:PMRC and that further violations can and should lead to a revocation of the page mover user right. While it may be true that the disambiguation is "unneeded", that is not a reason for deletion, speedy or otherwise. It is also a violation of WP:MOVEREDIRECT, which states that moving redirects are rarely useful. Instead, if Imzadi1979 felt that there should be a redirect titled "Interstate 425", they should have created the redirect themselves, and if they felt that "Interstate 425 in Colorado" should be deleted, they should have nominated that redirect at RFD (which I would advise against because I would !vote to keep that redirect). Now to the meat of the issue, Interstate 270 (Colorado) connects Interstates 25 and 70, so the interstate could just as easily been an auxiliary of 25 over 70. So, I suspected that it was a provisional name before its creation. A little digging shows "Preliminary numbering for the freeway connecting I-80S (now I-76) and Stapleton International Airport in Denver identified the loop as Interstate 425. The designation was changed to Interstate 270 by AASHO on February 26, 1959" -- Tavix (talk) 16:12, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. This is somewhere between "redirects are cheap" and "not everything needs a redirect". On one hand, I see the benefit of having an I-425 page redirect to I-270. On the other hand, what page is going to use the I-425 link? If you want to include it on the list of Colorado Interstate Highways simply because the number was used in the planning stages then changed to I-270 before the road was built, then you should be swatted with a rolled-up newspaper. If it doesn't have any useful purpose, deletion is the way to go. –Fredddie™ 18:39, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
- What Tavix said. per Tavix. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 19:17, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete—per Freddie. These preliminary numbers are rarely worth mentioning, and even more rarely worth linking. (P.S. the original wasn't in compliance with WP:USSH, which is why it was moved.) Imzadi 1979 → 04:39, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Imzadi1979: see RHARMFUL. Also, why did you violate WP:PMRC? — J947 [cont] 04:45, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Imzadi1979: Naming conventions are for the titles of articles, they are inapplicable to redirects. This is yet another reason why you should not have the page mover right. -- Tavix (talk) 01:25, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Revert per Tavix. — J947 [cont] 04:45, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
Molderland
Not mentioned at the target, no hits on Google Scholar. The spelling suggests that it could be a German term, but there's no entry on deWiki either. Delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 21:37, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. I could find nothing at all. The German names for Moldavia/Moldova and so on all derive from "Moldau", and changing -au to -er strikes me as highly implausible; it's not how German works. I can find no evidence that "mold", "molde", "molden" or "molder" exist in German. Narky Blert (talk) 04:25, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Hello guys, sorry I left the job unfinished, after the redirection I should have added more relevant info on the Moldavia article, which now | I have just done. Thank you and sorry for any incoveniences. 13:38, 13 May 2020 (UTC)~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caliniuc (talk • contribs)
- Who is this? Use your signature correctly 3125ATalk!Contributions! 15:54, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
- @3125A: It's probably not a good idea for someone who has a problematic line-stretching signature to tell someone to "use your signature correctly". To answer the "Who is this?" question, that can be answered by looking at the page history. The edit was made by Caliniuc at 13:38, 13 May 2020. Using {{unsigned}} would be a better way to resolve the issue, which I am applying with this edit to show how it's done. -- Tavix (talk) 15:59, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
Petrus Schroderus
Not mentioned at the target. Searching online suggests that this is the name of a Finnish person, but does not establish why it should point at our article for Finns. Delete unless a justification or alternative can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 21:34, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
CCP Virus
- CCP Virus → 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- CCP virus → 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
CCP Virus is the terminology used by The Epoch Times (RSP entry). A WP:DEPRECATED source that is consistently disseminating misinformation related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic (e.g. conspiracy theories and hoaxes already proven fake). Wikipedia should not be amplifying hoaxes by including them in places that do not have critical comment. See coverage at The Epoch Times. MarioGom (talk) 16:48, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Comment. There is another variant: CCP virus. --MarioGom (talk) 16:50, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Comment It's not just the Epoch Times, CCP Virus is all over the Internet. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:12, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- That's true. But note that a lot of the "CCP Virus" instances revolve around stories or videos published initially by The Epoch Times. So, yes, as many hoaxes and misinformation pieces, they find echo in several places. In any case, the usage of the term is still problematic even if social media users or some questionable sources gradually adopted it. --MarioGom (talk) 17:26, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: Before this it was called the "Wuhan virus" by Chinese news outlets and people in some Chinese demographics still refer to it as such and it's become WP:COMMONNAME among them. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 17:40, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Indeed. "Wuhan virus", while arguably inappropriate, was largely used by sources in many countries and languages. "CCP virus" doesn't seem WP:COMMONNAME and it is actually linked to some of the conspiracy theories that we document at Misinformation related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. If delete is not found appropriate (I think it is), then I would suggest retarget to Misinformation related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.

- Keep or Retarget - The term is admittedly tendentious, but it is widely used by New Tang Dynasty Television, and China Uncensored uses it frequently outside the context of conspiracy theories in most of its videos.

If its propaganda then the argument should be that if someone hears CCP Virus and wonders what it is, Wikipedia should redirect them to correct page (with correct terminology) and not leave them wondering.

- Retarget to Misinformation related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. If the term really is all over the Internet, readers are going to be searching for it. It would be a disservice them to delete this redirect and to leave them guessing. It would also be a disservice to keep it as a redirect to 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, giving the impression that it's an appropriate term.

Delete as no suitable target, it could be to 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic (because people may call it that), Misinformation related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic (because it probably wasn't created by the CCP), or Criticism of response to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.—Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 20:32, 29 April 2020 (UTC)- Retarget to Severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome_coronavirus_2#Terminology.

Retarget to Misinformation related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic per Narky Blert. Criticism of response to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic is no longer an article; it now redirects to National responses to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic (see AfD). Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is not a useful target, it doesn't mention the Party or the Chinese government at all, let alone the origin of this term. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 14:26, 30 April 2020 (UTC)- Oppose retarget to Misinformation related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.

- You are right. In fact, the sole remaining use of this term in English Wikipedia is an incidental mention at List of incidents of xenophobia and racism related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. There is also a Wiktionary entry which is listed at Wiktionary:Requests for verification. I don't think either of those is more useful than search results. So I'll change my opinion to delete. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 01:37, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

- Keep This name is in common use, as I have seen it in print and on television in the last 24 hours. It is a POV name, but we should enable our readers to find out what it really means easily by having a redirect.

It is not the official name of the virus, and it says so in this article, WHO has advised against using locations in disease and virus names from 2015.

- Retarget to Apicomplexa (1st choice) or delete to encourage article creation (2nd choice). This would be a more feasible option than to redirect here, as the planet Gamont (which is probably what this redirect refers to in the context of the Dune franchise) doesn't seem to be prominent from what we see on its page on the Dune Wiki, and the topic seems to have more widespread usage in microbiology (as the nom says).

- Revert move and restore redirect. The Star Wars / GoT uses are d20 System games based off of Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition. They probably shouldn't link to it at all, but if they do, it's still covering the same fundamental topic. The Wizardry claim that it was doing something similar to prestige classes is wholly unreferenced and original research, and there's no earthly way prestige-classes in Wizardry would ever be appropriate for an article. It's just some editor who thought Wizardy's system was close to 3rd edition D&D, which makes the original link to the D&D meaning accurate anyway - it's claiming that Wizardry was doing something like what D&D prestige classes did. SnowFire (talk) 01:29, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
- Disambiguate per Pandakekok9. Drafted below the redirect. The Dungeons & Dragons concept doesn't appear to be WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT either by usage in reliable sources (e.g. Google News hits, which are mostly about airlines & trains whose business/first class is called "prestige class") or long-term significance. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 11:13, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
- None of the offered suggestions are relevant disambig page mentions. We don't have first class or First class travel contain a list of every company that offers something called "First class"; we don't need a mention that Korean Air offers something similar called "prestige class" either. Same with a random term used by a short-lived event in Renault Sport Trophy, either. The D&D meaning (before it was moved) is the proper link here that can actually have a referenced section talking about the concept. SnowFire (talk) 17:32, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

There may be additional redirects similar to those listed above. "Wuhan virus" is used informally in various contexts to refer to SARS-CoV-2. The issue is that "Wuhanvirus" is a recently recognized genus of viruses. It belongs to the family Autographiviridae, which has an article. Advice is sought on various ways or the proper way to address this. Another discussion about this is here. Velayinosu (talk) 03:14, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

- I've added Wuhan Virus to the nomination. – Uanfala (talk) 18:37, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- The punctilious thing to do would be take advantage of the fact that each of the two variants is "correct" for only one of the uses and so redirect Wuhan virus to the SARS-CoV-2 article, and Wuhanvirus to Autographiviridae. But the difference between the two terms is so small, that a hatnote would then be needed on both targets, and I don't like the idea of that: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, one of wikipedia's most popular articles, already has a lengthy and unavoidable hatnote and it would go over the top if another hatnote were added for such an extremely obscure and unrelated virus. On the other hand, we can't redirect Wuhan virus to Autographiviridae as this variant is apparently only ever used to refer to the SARS virus. An outcome that avoids these situations is to create a disambiguation page: it's standard practice for dab pages to disambiguate related terms, and the redirects aren't used that much so there isn't a big group of readers that we'll be doing a disservice to by intervening in their navigational path with a small dab page. I've drafted one below the redirect at Wuhan virus. – Uanfala (talk) 18:37, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

- Well, we're not constrained for the size of our pages, but that doesn't exempt us from considering potential clutter at the top of articles: hatnotes should generally be as few as possible and as concise as practicable (WP:1HAT). Also, the term "Wuhan virus" is loaded so it's best to avoid giving it prominence via a mention at the top of the article. – Uanfala (talk) 10:36, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
