Unfortunately, there's no information that the pages I have mentioned are
obsolete. Moreover, they are referenced in second place in the results of
Google Custom search for "Named Ranges" on the help page.

Perhaps that's true, but I don't know how to get to these pages as when we
start from
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.2/en-US/text/scalc/main0000.html?DbPAR=CALC and
then select "Menus", then "Sheet" we land on
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.2/en-US/text/scalc/main0116.html?&DbPAR=CALC&System=WIN
where there are missing multiple commands including "Named Ranges and
Expressions" (containing Define, Manage, Insert, Create and Labels). 
Index search doesn't help also: for "Named Range" it gives "Paste Names"
description page you mentioned, but for "define range" - nothing while for
"define" - more than 20 entries (and yes, there is the link to "Naming Cells"
page, where proper description of Define Names dialog can be found).
Generally, a user has little chance to find correct man pages, just opposite -
is directed to the wrong place. 
BTW What about Define, Manage, and Labels, which are present in the dialogs and
have no accessible descriptions?
