Came here looking for information on what tasks laboratory robots typically automate. That might be a good place to begin improving this article - focus on tasks and equipment in addition to the current information (general information about the field and those who study it). 24.239.122.129 (talk) 05:20, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Red Link Masahide Sasaki

@Jlevi. It is my intention the redlink to Masahide Sasaki should be removed if reasonably sufficient progress is not made towards an article, per WP:WTAF. I genuinely wish you best with the proposed article and while I do not specifically intend to put effort in I might tweak something if useful. It may be better to develop in Draft:Masahide Sasaki at that is more of an indicator an article is upcoming and the obvious place to look for the same. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 20:46, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Djm-leighpark! No worries. I get what you're going for. However, I think you may be misusing WP:WTAF. As noted in the lead to that page, the red-link recommendation there refers specifically to "list pages, disambiguation pages, or templates in the encyclopedia." It does not seem to refer to article text, which is the current domain.

The important page for our current discussion (from my reading of the situation) is WP:RED. This page is for the more general topic of redlinks (rather than those in "navigational" pages). Here, the recommendation is this: "It is useful while editing articles to add a red link to indicate that a page will be created soon or that an article should be created for the topic because the subject is notable and verifiable. Red links help Wikipedia grow."

Based upon that second clause ("an article should be created for the topic because the subject is notable and verifiable), I think the red link is appropriate.

I won't add the link back before I hear more discussion from your end, however. Thanks for the dialogue!

Also: good point on moving it to Draftspace. Jlevi (talk) 17:26, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RED give me a lot of issues and time waste. A red-link is typically something I may go and investigate, ie its usually an issue to be sorted ... (e.g. deleted page, vandalism). Pain. Have your red link if you like but I'll possibly stop watching this page for vandalisation. Have your WP:RED if you like I won't revert it within a reasonable timescale.
