Retarget to
chunky. After looking at how WP handles similar words like 'whole' and 'part,' a disambig page does seem what is consistent. If I don't hear any objections in a few days, I will go ahead and do that directly.

The redirect can be deleted, I made it and then realized it wasn't needed. What do you mean by the redirect "is just to capitalize the title"?

If you type "Critical analysis of evolution" into the search bar, you'll turn up the page no matter the case. Many times redirects are to something that would be more like an alias (aka having "Obama" redirect to "Barack Obama".) --

Ah, my intent had been to avoid having to pipe wikilinks to "Critical Analysis of Evolution", seeing as wikilinks are case-sensitive after the first letter.

After some consideration I have changed my vote to Keep. The redirect removes the need for wikilinks to be piped if no capitalization is used, which could be useful, such as in the first paragraph of
Teach the Controversy: "The central claim the Discovery Institute makes with 'Teach the Controversy' is that fairness and equal time requires educating students with a 'critical analysis of evolution' where "the full range of scientific views"..." etc. As this example is referring to the Discovery Institute's Critical Analysis of Evolution, a wikilink would be appropriate there, and a redirect would simplify the link.

Comment: I would contend that your example is actually an instance of inappropriate
easter egg-style wikilinking. By using lower case, the implication is that you are not using a proper noun, and sending the reader to an article about a curriculum campaign is misleading. This is an unprintworthy redirect, and it should not be linked to.
