"Massive" is subjective. Typically 30-40 is the cut-off when there is no auto-disambiguation to catch inbounds.

I would make it a redirect, if it weren't incorrect. It's like making "Pisnep" a redirect to "Disney" (the logo sometimes looks like that) because it had 50 inbounds, or, quite literally, making "The Ball Is A Moron" into a redirect to "Idiot Ball" for the same reason.

Hrm. Alright, re-submit it to the cut list. I wonder how that got past the translation project initially.

It is pretty simple to make a page in Es/ unnoticed, the page is very old, and I guess that you could easily mistake it for not being a figurative ball, especially if your first language is not English (and with the page image being a literal ball)... I was going to say that I do understand how 50 is actually not an insignificant number of inbounds, especially for a Spanish language page, so I personally wouldnt mind too much keeping the redirect.

We've cut redirects with similar inbounds, because they gave the incorrect impression of what the trope was about. This falls under the same scenraio, so go ahead and resubmit.
