Too vague to be useful. Even if we assume that race has to refer to Race (human categorization), "other races" doesn't necessarily refer to minority groups. signed, Rosguill talk 20:42, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While I understand the connection (AML eventually killed Lou Gehrig, the baseball player who replaced Wally Pipp on the Yankees), I don't see any mention of this at the target or searching online, and no indication that this is a term that is in use at all. signed, Rosguill talk 20:24, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Clipper (disambiguation) or create a new "Clippers" DAB page since there are quite a few others at intitle:"Clippers". The sailboat is primary in the category namespace for the plural at Category:Clippers. While the LA team do get more views than a selection the ship and tools are full matches for "Clippers", its just a WP NC that we use the singular for articles but objects are frequently pluralized in the world at large. While the term "Clippers" for the LA team is just an abbreviation. By PT#2 the LA team clearly isn't primary. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:26, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Readers searching for the basketball team (or the other two lesser-known Clippers sports teams) will always use the plural form. Readers searching for the ship will rarely use the plural form. Readers searching for hair, nail, or hedge clippers will use some mix of singular and plural (though the corresponding article titles are all singular).
  2. Clippers is an abbreviation of Los Angeles Clippers, but is the full name of the ship (albeit pluralized). Crouch, Swale evinces a theory in which "clipper(s)" is also the full name when referring to hair, nail, and hedge clippers (and that the qualifiers "hair", "nail", and "hedge" are just extra, optional words that may be added to disambiguate). I don't agree. "Clipper(s)" can be used as a shorthand to refer to hair clippers or nail clippers or hedge clippers, if it's clear from context which kind is being talked about. "Clippers" by itself could also refer to the whole class of things that clip (including hair, nail, and hedge clippers), though it doesn't seem like that'd come up much.
Point 1 adds to the argument for keeping. Point 2 adds to the argument for moving, but I don't find it very compelling. The basketball team is commonly referred to as just the "Clippers", and it's easy to imagine someone who wants to read about them using that as a search term. It's harder for me to imagine someone searching for "Clippers" and expecting to find information about the type of ship, or the devices for cutting hair/nails/hedges. If I want information about nail clippers, I'm going to search for "nail clippers". Colin M (talk) 23:15, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Readers searching for the sports teams will likely use the full name when searching. Also although nail clippers its self might be a PTM for "clippers" as noted the tools in general aren't and as ThoughtIdRetired noted it is usually in the plural form possibly coming close to Scissors. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:19, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Readers searching for the sports teams will likely use the full name when searching. Not so for the major sports leagues in North America. Their names are generally the city name followed by the team mascot name, e.g. Los Angeles Lakers or Boston Celtics. Many would refer to them without the city name e.g. Lakers, Celtics. This in in contrast to football/soccer teams around the world e.g. Manchester City F.C. or Juventus F.C..—Bagumba (talk) 15:19, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Lakers and Celtics appear to be unambiguous (at least they don't have an article at the singular form) and it was claimed at Talk:Hearts (card game)#Primary topic that Heart of Midlothian F.C. is often called just "Hearts" but as can be seen at Talk:Hearts#Requested move 16 March 2019 I only stated that the team was a minor contender for plain "Hearts" although because of the number of other well known things called "Hearts" I didn't think the plural should redirect to the organ (but if it was only between the organ and FC I would definitely support the organ being primary) and as noted the organ isn't commonly known in the plural form while the tools (and presumably ship) are. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:56, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
My point was that it was incorrect to say for North America teams that Readers searching for the sports teams will likely use the full name when searching.. That's unrelated to Heart of Midlothian F.C. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 19:05, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
But couldn't that argument also be made for Heart of Midlothian F.C. to? even if many people call the team just "Clippers" in every day speech etc they're surely more likely to include "Los Angeles" or "LA" in the search box? How is Heart of Midlothian F.C. significantly different to Los Angeles Clippers? Surely both are colloquially known by their shorter name but people on WP would likely use the full name. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:15, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not trying to be flippant, it's just that I have no knowledge about Heart of Midlothian F.C., so I care not to comment about it. But I have first-hand knowledge about N.A. teams, and it is quite common to drop the city name. Nobody would argue that Jets should redirect to New York Jets, but Clipper gets 1/10 the views of Los Angeles Clippers. See this recent article in The New York Times. There's 3 mentions of "Los Angeles Clippers" out of about 30 instances "Clippers". It is quite common for a non-fan to know some team mascot names but not know what city they play in. If I Google "Clippers", the top hits are for the LA team.—Bagumba (talk) 19:55, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion (Pakistani actors and actresses)[edit]

This is a follow-up to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 June 16#Ahmed Hassan (actor) as well as a series of nominations starting with Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 June 15#Maryam Noor. Same rationale applies: these people are not mentioned at the respective targets, nor would they because it is a list of notable people only. -- Tavix (talk) 17:07, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
