22nd of May22nd of May (film) – The 2010 Flemish thriller Tweeëntwintig mei won a Golden Owl Award at Leeds, but nevertheless for mobile users 22nd of May is not distinguishable from May 22 even if not looking for United States National Maritime Day.

You just cited this, so that itself was an example of potential misdirection. 1st of May, 4th of July, 2nd of May, 5th of May, 6th of October, are all redirects to day festival articles. This is the English translation title of a minor Flemish crime film. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:00, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support as per assisting in navigation to content. This seems to me to be another (Michigan highway) situation in which topic clarification will frequently be of significant benefit. Dohn joe thoughts?
I would still favour the redirect from 22nd of May going to 22nd of May (film) perhaps being protected. GregKaye 08:48, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, GregKaye. I don't know about the Michigan highway situation. Here, though, we are only dealing with a handful - less than a dozen - of alternate date formats being used as titles of redirects or articles. As I said above, most of the potential redirects to Month Day have not even been created. So this is not a case where people are using the Xth of XX format to search for or link to anything in WP. We already have agreement that sometimes, the day is not the primarytopic for "Xth of XX" - as in 4th of July. Especially if "22nd of May" is to redirect to the film, as you suggested, I don't see the navigation benefit. Do you see my point? Perhaps you can explain yours better to me.

Dohn joe its a very valid point as clarification may only be needed, within Wikipedia, if users had made a all page search on something like 22 All of the topics categories are film or arts related so, yes, its not greatly needed here. However I think that a search engine listing would look better as "22nd of May (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" than more simply "22nd of May - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". I don't argue though that there aren't strong arguments for the move. GregKaye 16:10, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's an interesting thought however we don't actually know now many of those that visited 22nd of May were actually looking for the date or the film. Likewise we don't know how many of the hits for May 22 were link link or by search. If there was a way we could show that search entries weren't suffering from any misdirection that I would agree with status quo.--Labattblueboy (talk) 08:14, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
