On not unnecessarily avoiding redirects
As WP:NOTBROKEN explains, there are plenty of concrete reasons not to write &#91;[Upper Sorbian language|Upper Sorbian]&#93; when Upper Sorbian is a redirect to Upper Sorbian language: In short, writing &#91;[Upper Sorbian language|Upper Sorbian]&#93; instead of simply &#91;[Upper Sorbian]&#93; makes this article worse. —Angr (talk) 23:20, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) It unnecessarily increases the size of the article.
 * 2) It makes the edit box harder to read.
 * 3) If Upper Sorbian language ever gets moved to Upper Sorbian (which might happen since that name isn't ambiguous), you'd just have to move it back again.
 * 4) None of the exceptions mentioned at WP:NOTBROKEN applies here, so there's no reason not to follow the guideline.
 * 5) Writing &#91;[Upper Sorbian language|Upper Sorbian]&#93; is utterly pointless and has absolutely no benefits.
 * Let me give you my take on this:
 * By a staggering 23 bytes!
 * If one has trouble reading syntax this simple, then one should take a little time to familiarize oneself with it (that's what I did when I was new, now it doesn't make it harder to read for me), as there are plenty of cases where this and more complicated syntax has to present itself.
 * If you think it should move, do it/request it, otherwise it's my time to "waste" (see below). Also, when I believe a link to a redirect could be a viable candidate for a separate article, I keep it for the reason listed at WP:NOTBROKEN.
 * It doesn't say one should revert those who ignore it for some reason, see below.
 * Well, the little "redirected from ..." box in the upper left has a tendency to distract me. And even the fact that the redirect's URL is shown by the browser has managed to bug me a few times (yes, really!). I know, these things must look like splitting hairs to you, but I have not seen any reason why your browsing/editing experience would really be worse off when bypassed. I once came across a case in which this was the case, and then I'm happy to accept it.
 * In short, for me it gets a little better, so if it doesn't make your experience worse off, what's wrong with keeping it? --JorisvS (talk) 14:36, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Lower Sorbian language → Lower Sorbian – I'm requesting a move to the new article, along with its associated talk page, because per WP:NCL, there's nothing else called 'Lower Sorbian'. PK2 (talk) 01:22, 6 January 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. — Nnadigoodluck  █ █ █ 22:17, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

 * The convention is to include "language" even when there is not another article to disambiguate from. Also, Lower Sorbian people also exist. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  09:02, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose "Lower Sorbian" is the general adjective for everything related to the Lower Sorbs (also called "Lower Sorbians", German: Niedersorben). There is no primary topic, so the natural disambiguator "language" is required per WP:NCL. –Austronesier (talk) 14:15, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose no benefit to readers. As stated "Lower Sorbian" is the general adjective for everything related to the Lower Sorbs In ictu oculi (talk) 13:24, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
