• Comment I have never seen the term "parallel cocks" used in reference to a motif or a pattern (although it is apparently something you can have in watchmaking), but Confronted animals is a thing. I have seen it called coqs affrontés, for example in https://www.persee.fr/doc/bch_0007-4217_1965_num_89_1_2252, but I'm not sure what the English term would be.

• It could fit in as a section in that article, though I have no idea how common this search term would be. I'm not sure if this is a translation issue. The other thing is the sources don't mention cocks or roosters or this motif at all, save for an image or two.Citing (talk) 17:26, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Delete I don't think a redirect would work, because it is a very implausible search term, and it would point to an article that doesn't mention it. Perhaps we can encourage the creator to find better sources, and then add a section on use of the motif in Russian folk art to Confronted animals and delete this article.
