:I would think so.  We'll see this happen a lot at the beginning but I imagine we'll expand on these type of redirect with time.  Note that in Related Atricles subpages supernova can exist with its own unique definition and it will be identified as a redirect due to the purple link.  See dexample below using the {{tl|r}} template:

I'm not sure about redirecting supernova here. Isn't there enough distinct information about this particular type of nova for a separate article? --Larry Sanger 14:28, 8 May 2008 (CDT)

I would think so. We'll see this happen a lot at the beginning but I imagine we'll expand on these type of redirect with time. Note that in Related Atricles subpages supernova can exist with its own unique definition and it will be identified as a redirect due to the purple link. See example below using the {{r}} template (and thanks for making it better):
  • Supernova [r]: An astronomical object exploding to a brightness similar to that of an entire galaxy. Caused by a catastrophic explosion of either a white dwarf system or an aged star about five times the size of the sun, which occurs when the star collapses; a neutron star or a black hole may be formed as a result, or the explosion results in no remaining compact object.
