Should Children's Book Award really redirect here instead of to a disambiguation or list page of the dozens of children's book awards? Purplemouse (talk) 16:26, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I think so. The redirect isn't "children's book award" but "Children's Book Award", i.e. a title. Now, there are many children's book awards that go by the name [Location] Children's Book Award or [Sponsor] Children's Book Award, but very few are or have been referred to as what is essentially The Children's Book Award. At the moment, the Red House Children's Book Award is the only one of these with an article.

In the future, when articles for other awards known simply as the Children's Book Award exist, it would make sense to have a disambiguation page (probably with a link in it to List of children's literary awards or Category:Children's literary awards or something) but at the moment all that dab page would consist of would be a link to this article... So right now it makes sense to me for it be a redirect and cut out the middle man.

PS: Of course, I would not make the same case for children's book award (were it to exist).
