Is this page necessary?

[edit]

Everything here apart from cut and paste is on Muscle page where it is better presented. It seems to have been a redirect to Muscle a long time ago and then found its way back.--Iztwoz (talk) 21:24, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Changes have been made to this page and now the unnecessary page is Muscle which is a duplicate of Skeletal muscle.--Iztwoz (talk) 12:31, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 19 April 2023

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: After a month of discussion, there a consensus to move. Primarily, the supporters argue that the article that holds the title "Muscle" should be one that describes the concept generally, rather than redirecting to one singular topic (a form of WP:CONCEPTDAB). Amakuru's argument of skeletal muscle being the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is relevant and was considered, however the contradictory argument—that using page views in this scenario is ineffective—was more substantive.

The history at Muscle will be moved to Muscle (muscle). There is no prejudice against that page being moved to a more suitable name, should one be found. Anarchyte (talk) 11:21, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Muscle tissue → Muscle – There is a need for its own page. A previous page Muscle was merged and redirected to Skeletal muscle but a more general umbrella page is needed, and the content of this page would easily accommodate this.

Muscle tissue could redirect to Tissue (biology)#Muscle tissue.--Iztwoz (talk) 12:04, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Iztwoz:, what you've just said, in other words, is that the history of muscle tissue will overwrite the history of muscle (if no other action is taken; other action should be taken). Plantdrew (talk) 21:04, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I know, or understand, the history of the previous Muscle page follows the merge with Skeletal muscle, which generally results from any text to text merge. The page history for Muscle tissue if it changes to Muscle will not change - I cannot see that any change of redirect will need further action as to its history. But if I am wrong I'm sure there will be somebody with a better understanding who can step up. Iztwoz (talk) 07:02, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:MAD: if the page was merged/copied, you cannot delete the edit history of the source page. It needs to be renamed to a different pagename, if the name it currently occupies is usurped by a different page. Thus if the content that was on what is now a redirect, was copied/merged, then the edit history of the redirect needs to be retained, so the redirect needs to also be renamed. -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 05:45, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Relisting comment: While there was a clear consensus at the time of closing, a deeper look brought about some conflicts and the closer reopened. Relisting so it doesn't get closed prematurely. UtherSRG (talk) 19:19, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Skeletal muscle had less than half the total page views to skeletal muscle+cardiac muscle+smooth muscle+muscle tissue+muscle. It isn't a topic that is "more likely [to be sought] than all the other topics combined". And a page view analysis is fundamentally flawed when a more general title redirects to a more specific title; people who are searching for the more general title may end up viewing the more specific Wikipedia article if they arrive via an external search engine, even if the more specific article was not what they were looking for.

  • Comment. The primary topic of 'muscle' is not 'skeletal muscle'. We can see that in the perennial news of heart disease and that it's common to eat crab/lobster/shrimp/etc. It is more appropriate to summarize information on all types of muscle and link out to those large, well-researched articles, as is currently the case with Muscle tissue (though, the lack of info on invertebrate muscle tissue is a sore spot). The rejection of the merge of Muscle tissue to Muscle back in 2013 was justified as the article essentially did not not do this at the time (Muscle tissue, Dec 2013). Lastly, while I agree using pageviews to establish what is primary is flawed in this case given the redirect from the general Muscle, I would argue that the current stat of 25000:12000:12000 views over 30 days for Skeletal muscle:Cardiac muscle:Smooth muscle supports that they're more or less equally important and viewed. ― Synpath 21:01, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 02:42, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per Synpath and nom. I agree that muscle should be about contractile tissue generally, so I do not support keeping it as a redirect to the skeletal muscle article. Instead, the current muscle tissue seems to fit that scope. I'm ambivalent about whether we should leave the actual article at its current name and change the target of the redirect, or page-move it there. If it's moved, I would keep muscle tissue as a redirect to it. I do not support having muscle tissue point to Tissue (biology)#Muscle tissue, since that is just a WP:SUMMARYSTYLE entry for which our current muscle tissue article (that would move to muscle is the identified subarticle. However, muscle tissue definitely needs major work. DMacks (talk) 06:02, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

First close RM discussion

[edit]
@Wikiexplorationandhelping: sorry, I don't understand the rationale of this move at all; why are we moving a page on muscle tissue to the general page muscle? Surely if any move is to take place it should be skeletal muscle which moves to muscle, as that page incorporates all the previous text on this topic that was housed here until 2021 and was merged.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:16, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Amakuru the following link shows the page as was in June 2019 when it was predominantly about skeletal muscle but had the introduction of muscle tissue being of three types including cardiac and smooth. Cardiac and smooth were given 'lip service' to in the article and the rest was given over to skeletal muscle. [1] It seemed the most logical way of dealing with all the duplicated material and giving equal weight to all three tissues on their own pages. To include all three types in detail on the one page Muscle would have been clumsy and overly long. The Muscle tissue page serves as well as the Muscle page as it covers muscle in general without favouring one type - there is just the question/problem of changing the redirect of Muscle to Muscle tissue. The page could be, as you suggest, returned to Muscle page but it would just contain all the undue weighted skeletal muscle material. Iztwoz (talk) 17:27, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Amakuru I'm just attempting to move this based on the reflection on consensus for this RM, which seems to heavily support this move. What do we think? Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 15:36, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
User:Wikiexplorationandhelping but what's the justification for moving a different page on a different topic, over the page that was previously merged to skeletal muscle? That makes no sense at all, but I assume it makes sense to you because you've closed the discussion as "moved". Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 16:04, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Amakuru Well, I suppose consensus can change over time. Something that may not be justified at one point in time may be justified in another, and vice versa. Let's ask @DrVogel, as well as @UtherSRG about whether or not this move shall proceed. They seem to participate in RMTR quite often. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 16:14, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In addition, I'll revert my close for now. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 16:21, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Wikiexplorationandhelping: thanks - maybe we can relist the discussion and allow another week to discuss? Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 17:11, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I guess that's the new consensus then, let's go. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 18:03, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yup. I suggest some research on the various muscle-related articles and sections of articles. This is definitely an issue with more than one article, while the discussion above did not take enough of the other articles into account (hence the conflict post the original closure). I have no skin in this game (if you'll pardon the pun), but I can support as needed. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:22, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
