Speedy delete Article title was mistyped, has a dot trailing. Correct title was already established.

Mogas (disambiguation) to
Mogas. Per the discussion, unclear consensus on a specific non-disambiguation target seems to be forming, so moving the disambiguation page to the base title would essentially be the equivalent of no consensus. (

I am unfamiliar with this term (never heard it here in North America) and found it redirects to a section in
Gasoline that doesn't mention it at all except in a hatnote that says "Mogas" redirects here. Not very helpful.

Avgas#Automotive gasoline. Mogas is a common term in the aviation community used to distinguish gasoline used in road vehicles from aviation gasoline which is called
Avgas. The redirect target which is currently to
Gasoline § Etymology and terminology should go into this distinction but doesn't leaving the issue hanging. It is covered in the
Avgas article in the lead and in section "Automotive gasoline" so that is a useful destination for this term.

- Keep add documentation to the redirect (such as {{
redirect documentation}}) indicating that this redirect exists for a particular reason (that it means road motor vehicle petrol, as it is so called in aviation) It's just a synonym for road gasoline, and used pretty widely. And it is helpful since if you want to read about mogas you get to the correct article, and can read about mogas. If you never see the term mogas, you will never want to search for it. Thus the redirect works fine, for people who encounter the term, they arrive at the correct article, since it is a synonym. --

- Comment If the redirect is kept to gasoline, then the article should explain what it is. I saw the term mogas, didn't know what it meant, went to WP and typed it in, and was redirected to a place that didn't mention it. As per
Geraldo Perez above, this left me hanging (is it a brand, some special variety of gasoline, or what?). The reader shouldn't have to infer from the section header that it is just a synonym. And it would be helpful to explain where it is used (geographically).

- I agree, a note should be added "(sometimes known as mogas to differentiate it from
avgas)", but I do not support retargeting to Avgas. It may be the right context, but it's the exact opposite item. –

- The current target covers all gasoline and mogas is only a type of gasoline as is avgas, not an alternative name for gasoline which the current redirect implies.
Gasoline § Comparison with other fuels does touch on Avgas but does not make clear that mogas basically means not-avgas. The coverage at
Avgas § Automotive gasoline is a lot more extensive and seems more useful to people interested in the topic without changing the contents of existing articles.

- Comment I just read the section in
Avgas that mentions mogas and it says "Automotive gasoline — known as mogas or autogas among aviators" and then goes on to explain the differences between mogas and avgas. If this means the term is primarily used in the aviation world, then
Avgas is probably a better redirect. — Preceding

Mogas (disambiguation) →
Mogas – Between the meanings "slang for petrol" (motor gasoline), "! aviation gasoline", and the Ugandan Oil company (
MOGAS Group would be the primary topic in Africa, and we should take a worldwide view), there is no clear primary topic. This term is not common slang for gasoline in North America. The dab page also has a link to
wikt:mogas, which clearly defines the (aviation) meaning:
automotive gasoline suitable for use in piston-engined gasoline powered aircraft.
This one is near and dear to me, as I still remember getting
attacked in my RfA for creating the redirect
MOGAS Oil (which I just restored) –

- Move the disambiguation per wbm1058. Additionally, the term is described at the disambiguation (motor gasoline → mogas), so it seems like a win-win all the way around. --

- Keep I think there was some policy or was it a guideline that says that redirecting BLPs without reliable sources to the main article/event was okay.

- @
Sakura:} you might be thinking of
WP:BLP1E which discourages articles about people notable only for a single event and encourages those that are created to be merged into the article about the event. See also the first bullet at
WP:INVALIDBIO which suggests that redirects from the names of non-notable family members/spouses should/can be redirected to the articles about the notable person they are connected to.

- @
Sakura Cartelet and
Thryduulf: Somewhat implies that the person is actually mentioned in that redirect target not leaving the reader going Huh? what what does this have to do with anything? I added this RfD as I did exactly that, following a link and got nothing at all that indicated why I ended up at the redirect target even doing a search of the article for that name. (
AngusWOOF has added some info per comments above) Readers should know immediately why they got redirected to a target, not have to research the issue.
WP:SURPRISE is also a consideration for redirects. Better a link be red than redirect to some location with no information and no apparent reason to be there.
