Better as a redlink to encourage expansion of the encyclopedia. Wug·a·po·des​ 04:19, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • also JBO discography for the same reason
  • Keep - The nominator rationale doesn’t make any sense to me. Surely if someone wants to "expand the encyclopedia", a redirect won’t stand in the way of that. This is also a very likely search term and the context is completely justified.—NØ 04:42, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There's already Intentionally permanent red link for things that are better as a redlink. – John M Wolfson (talkcontribs) 05:23, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Since anorexia has an actual meaning - and one which is distinct from anorexia nervosa - it is problematic to redirect one to the other. Prior to 2015 WP's page for anorexia was a disambiguation page which is now at Anorexia (disambiguation); I can find no evidence of consensus for the move User:Doc James performed. I am requesting that the disambiguation page be reinstated as the article for Anorexia. Magic9mushroom (talk) 02:00, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I should elaborate on the history here. "Anorexia" is literally the Ancient Greek for "loss of appetite". Anorexia nervosa was named as such because it appeared (as we now know, incorrectly) to involve a loss of appetite (and the name stuck due to inertia). While incorrect use of "anorexia" to mean "anorexia nervosa" is very common, and as such it would be inappropriate to make Anorexia the page for the symptom, redirecting educated people who know what the word means to something other than what the word means merely to save uneducated people a disambiguation seems foul and perverse.
