It's unclear what on the disambiguation page these redirects are supposed to refer to. Per the edit histories of these redirects, it seems that these were articles referring to a possible 4th film in the Friday film series, but not even that article has information about a fourth film. Steel1943 (talk) 17:25, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Without seeing the history it is completely unclear what the intention is. As you say, it seems from the history to be about a movie that may not even exist. it is hard to see how the redirect could possibly help anybody as there is nothing on the target article that matches the names there. If the movie was genuine, and this was its name, then a redirect to Friday (film series) would make more sense. Unless or until that is proven, lets delete them. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:07, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete History of both links shows one user trying to plant incoherent rumors about Friday 4 in 2010 actually being a thing which never turned out to be true. Nate • (chatter) 07:42, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The only plausible target I could find was Native American Day, which is held on the fourth Friday every September in California, but I think that's too far of a stretch. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:57, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Series fourth film did not manifest. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:58, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - We can change this if/when the fourth Friday film gets out of development hell. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 06:35, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No no there's no doubt User:Patar knight that cracking pattern is a word. It's the disambiguation that makes it nonsense. We have a WP:TWODABS at Cracking pattern (but not Cracking Pattern) of which both entries are Neelix redirects. This needs unwinding somehow. Si Trew (talk) 08:54, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Musical instruments from The Legend of Zelda series

- The result of the discussion was keep, re-refining to The Legend of Zelda#Music and sound. -- Tavix (talk) 02:22, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
These redirects are so ambiguous that they are vague. The current section they target is about the history of the music of the series, not about "musical instruments". Steel1943 (talk) 19:53, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: Musical instruments from The Legend of Zelda series is a ((R from merge)). It seems that the redirect was formerly an article with information regarding the use of "musical instruments" as in-game items. At the present time, the article The Legend of Zelda does not contain that specific information (it may have been removed over the lifetime of the article.) Steel1943 (talk) 20:00, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Steel1943: I guess I am not clear about the purpose of this nomination. Are you proposing these redirects be deleted? If so, why? At least one of these has some information in its history that should not be deleted for attribution reasons if it was merged, even if the information doesn't appear in the current version of the target article. You may also want to review WP:CHEAP. VQuakr (talk) 07:05, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- No, if content exists in a page's history it still needs attribution in the form of the page history it was copied from. What makes you think these redirects are "erronious?" VQuakr (talk) 16:19, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- See nomination statement. Steel1943 (talk) 16:22, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep the first, as ((R from merge)), but change section redirect to The Legend of Zelda#Music and sound. I'd be more skeptical if this were "List of musical instruments from The Legend of Zelda series". As such, that section does discuss instruments generally. And I suppose weak keep on the others, again changing the section. These look like functioning search terms to me. --BDD (talk) 18:27, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep the first because of the need for attribution, retarget all four per BDD. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 04:33, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(neelix) Ouch. I've marked Craquelé as ((R from other language|fr))
it is in the WP:FIRSTSENTENCE but considering that in English it has another name then without the accent not sure this makes sense. Si Trew (talk) 00:11, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Neelix) I can see ((R from plural))
with this one but does it make any sense? Would anyone say "Oh in the chemistries of the 19th century" or anything like that? Si Trew (talk) 00:05, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - There is an entry at wikt:chemistries. An unreliable source gives a good explanation.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 06:56, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. According to the OED chemistry can be used as a countable noun if it means "The chemical composition and properties of a substance or group of substances; (also) the chemical reactions and processes involved in a particular activity, or associated with a particular body, organism, etc." Usage example: "Although both types of pollution are called ‘smog’ by the residents involved, their appearance and chemistries are..dissimilar." Uanfala (talk) 12:51, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not the right place to ut it User:Uanfala. I am fed up with people using my user talk page as some kind of pubic forum. Put it at WP:RFD.Si Trew (talk) 15:09, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- It might not be a "pubic" forum, but discussions are certainly public here at RfD, where we already are, SimonTrew. I can't help feeling there's some subtle and complex pun in what you're saying that I can't get. Uanfala (talk) 15:18, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep withdrawn by nominator. Nah User:Uanfala no subtle and complex puns with me more "slegehammer wit" as Sybil Fawlty says of Basil. Si Trew (talk) 06:31, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
