As a redirect from the word "sunflower" This is to notify potential future editors of the discussion which took place recently regarding the decision to have the search term "sunflower" redirect to this article rather than to the article on Helianthus annuus directly, even though that is likely where most people searching on the term "sunflower" are ultimately headed. In the botanical sense, there are in fact many "sunflowers", and they all belong to the genus Helianthus, though not all of them closely resemble the stereotypical common sunflower. As an encyclopedia, it makes sense for readers, and perhaps especially those who are ignorant of the subject, to be taken to the article that really means what they have said they are searching for, and then allow them to quickly get to the article they are actually looking for, possibly learning along the way something about the nature of their search target. And as an encyclopedia, we are doing no one any good by cultivating or acquiescing to an incorrect though common belief that, for example, there is only one species of sunflower when there actually are many. And so here we now stand: we have a redirect from the word "sunflower" to the [botanically] correct article on the sunflowers generally, and a link in the lead paragraph to the species of sunflower which the reader was most probably trying to find in the first place. And for an encyclopedia, this truly seems to make the most sense. KDS4444Talk 05:17, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Then why don't you just use the About template? Obviously! "...linking the reader to other articles with similar titles or concepts that they may have been seeking instead." In this case, both similar title AND concept, it fits perfectly. Not using it is just picking on people as if they have to know scientific names off birth. 2001:8A0:4329:DD01:21AE:124D:7C23:1382 (talk) 16:57, 17 November 2015 (UTC) Scarce information Why is there so little information on sunflower? Not just here, but anywhere. What parts are edible? History, popular uses etc. I can't find this info anywhere online. Is it poisonous? Safe? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.47.119.49 (talk) 20:12, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Because there is more information in the Helianthis annuus article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helianthus_annuus StinkBreath (talk) 14:46, 18 August 2015 (UTC)StinkBreath
