Talk:Tutorials/Zombie farming

Deletion discussion

 * Oppose deletion of this redirect. The target article is about farming both zombies and drowned, as clearly stated in the lead sentence. There is nothing misleading about this redirect. In fact, in the Java Edition, the farm described in that tutorial produces only zombie loot, not drowned loot. We could have a separate tutorial on farming zombies exclusive of drowned, but I don't see that as necessary. In any case, until another article exists on that specific subject, the redirect is appropriate. The name of the target article could be changed to clarify the topic, if needed. ~ Amatulic (talk) 00:54, 6 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I've declined the deletion request for the reasons described above. But the title of the page is a bit confusing, to me at least. Maybe it would be better to move it to a different title?--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 02:23, 6 February 2019 (UTC)


 * When I created that tutorial, I pondered the title, and eventually settled on "Drowned farming" with a redirect called "Zombie farming" because I felt that two simple titles leading to the same place was preferable to one cumbersome title... and then two redirects would be needed for the simpler titles. The thrust of the tutorial is about drowned farming, with mechanics explained for both Java and Bedrock, and a detailed survival-mode example that produces zombie drops in Java and drowned drops in Bedrock. Therefore the tutorial can be used for farming zombies (hence the redirect) but the main topic is about farming drowned.
 * That was my thinking, anyway. I don't object to a longer more descriptive title with the simpler titles relegated to redirects. ~ Amatulic (talk) 15:22, 6 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Good points, thanks for the explanation. I see what you're saying, so now I'm neutral about this. Drowned farming, as you mention, is the main topic, but the page does talk about zombie farming quite a bit as well. I'd be curious what others think of this; it may be better to move this discussion about the title to Talk:Tutorials/Drowned farming.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 15:28, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
