Distributed resource → Distributed generation

The result of the debate was Delete. Lenticel ^(talk) 02:55, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

This redirect was in the consolidated list below. It was struck from the list with the reasoning that "phrase is repeated in target article". I am uncomfortable with that reasoning and would like to pull this one out for more discussion. There are many potentially distributed resources besides power generation. In fact, according to google, the most common context is computing - power generation appears to be a rather distant second. Leaving the phrase as a redirect to this one resource is potentially misleading to readers.
Note: I can not recommend converting the page to disambiguation because I can not find a usage of this phrase either in Wikipedia or externally where the phrase was anything other than self-evident. Distributed resources are resources that are spread out. The question 'which resource' was always clear from the context. Rossami (talk) 21:18, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

• Delete (I am original nominator for deletion) because it is more likely to indicate distributing computing resources; and there are several other meanings. 76.66.198.46 (talk) 04:25, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
