General issues

[edit]

Partial difference in terms

[edit]

These redirects appear different in part from the disambiguated term (for example, if "John Anderson" --> "Joshua Anderson" OR "John Andrews").

Substantial difference in terms

[edit]

These redirects appear substantially different from the disambiguated term (for example, if "John Anderson" --> "Roads in China").

Too narrow in context

[edit]

These redirects appear too narrow in context, raising the possibility that it should instead redirect to an article identified on the disambiguation page to which they are currently directed, or that such an article is missing (for example if "John Anderson (born 1925)" or "John J. Anderson" --> "John Anderson"). These may be dismissed if multiple targets linked on the disambiguation page share the additional portion.

Too broad in context

[edit]

These redirects appear too broad in context, raising the possibility that it should be the primary name of a disambiguation page (for example if "Anderson" --> "John Anderson"; or if "John J. Anderson" --> "John James Anderson", as there may be persons named "John J. Anderson" having a different middle name).
