I'm nominating this on behalf of
Geoffrey.landis, who
last month wrote that "the page that this redirects to does not include the term, which is in any case not notable enough for an article". I would add that no other article uses this term, and that most of the Google results refer to a song by
Gemma Ray, which is not mentioned in her article. –

Actually not a dab, but a superfluous redirect to

Generic term redirects to
Trademark distinctiveness#Generic terms which has a hatnote to
Generic. The redirect
Generic term (disambiguation) is an orphan, and as the nom suggests, superfluous.

Generic name, a dab page that disambiguates between several meanings that also reasonably apply to "terms" rather than "names". –

- Redirect to
Greatest Generation (disambiguation) because at this point it seems unclear whether the cohort or the book is the primary subject. We will then be able to see if one article gets significantly more page views than the other. The disambiguation page should be edited so that the book is not listed as the primary subject, but the book and cohort should be listed first.

- A title can not redirect to its own "Foo (disambiguation)" title; either this needs to point to an article, or the disambiguation page needs to be moved here.

- Retarget to
G.I. Generation. I have known them mostly by the name "the Greatest Generation." (which is an epic name for a generational cohort imo) However, since the article is titled "G.I. Generation" there should most likely still be a link to
The Greatest Generation (book) in the lead (where it
currently points to
The Greatest Generation). The book term has mostly outgrown the book overall, however. –

Greatest Generation (disambiguation) to
The Greatest Generation. Per
WP:THE, I don't believe the generation itself is the primary topic for "The Greatest Generation," which as an article title implies being the title of some work. It makes sense for the disambiguation page to reside at the page which contains the majority of titles it is disambiguating. --

Many Christian clergymen wear robes in liturgical contexts, and some wear them in other settings as well. Since the pulpit is a feature of ecclesiastical architecture in many parts of Christianity, these robes are sometimes associated with it. However, there's no real difference between "pulpit robes" and "clerical robes"; both are robes worn by Christian clergymen because of their clerical positions. Consequently, they both ought to redirect to the same place. Is
Clerical clothing best, or
vestment, or something else?
Geneva gown is a specific type of gown worn in some parts of Protestantism; it strikes me as over-precise (one can speak of Catholic priests wearing clerical robes, but they wouldn't wear Geneva gowns), but otherwise I don't have an opinion. Note that
pulpit robes and
clerical robe are both redlinks.

With all respect to the creator, I believe this term is too tied to one particular President to be a good redirect to the target. Maybe we can come up with something more appropriate.

WP:EMERGING,
WP:BJAODN,
WP:HAPPYPLACE, wtc). All they have to be is a useful method of navigating to the target (per
