• Ontari → Kapu (caste)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

No mention of Ontari in the target article. This redirect was once itself an article, and the Kapu article listed Ontari as a "subcaste" up to Dec 2011 when removed by Sitush, but no sources were ever cited for any of this : Bhunacat10 (talk), 23:44, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment In my experience it is not uncommon for an article not to mention a redirect subject. Unless there is doubt that Ontari is a subcaste of Kapu, I should think this would be a useful redirect. —teb728 t c 00:57, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Sources[1][2] ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 04:47, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: they do exist and there are at least passing mentions etc of them, perhaps more. The entire Kapu situation is rather confusing and, coincidentally, I came across this discussion after just starting a new section at Talk:Kapu (caste) in an attempt to resolve the issues. If we delete this redirect now, it is likely to make things more complicated in fixing those issues. - Sitush (talk) 15:27, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• HMS Partridge (G30) → O and P-class destroyer  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This should probably be better as a redlink, to encourage article creation. L293D (☎ • ✎) 17:14, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep A redirect is no barrier to article creation. We have a redirect to a class article that covers the technical details of the ship and a one-line history of it. It's already linked from a few articles where it's of some minor relevance. If anyone wants to write a full history for this ship, it's going to be because they've got a particular interest in it beyond that – and a redirect wouldn't deter that. In the meantime, removing the redirect would degrade articles we already have. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:51, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. As far as I can tell, there's been no action on the draft for about two weeks, so I think we can close this. That's not to preclude the removal of the redirect at any time should the draft be accepted or deemed acceptable in mainspace — the usual avenues are fine — but this conversation seems to have run its course. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:21, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Greninja → List of generation VI Pokémon#Greninja  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I believe this redirect should be converted to an article. I'm making this request here to follow the WP:BRD guideline, as previous attempts by other users have been reverted (one for unrelated sockpuppetry, however). In addition to the games, the character is featured quite prominently in the anime (as a bit of a main character) and in other media (like the incredibly popular Super Smash Bros. series). Greninja is well-known, with sources backing this up (even being featured as the most popular Pokémon of a 700-character survey in Japan). Greninja is consistently featured in Pokémon-related (and other) media, and is more relevant of a character to the world at large than various other Pokémon species that have pages. Edit: See Draft:Greninja. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paintspot (talk • contribs) 13:25, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep since there is no guarantee that an article will be created and/or that will meet Wikipedia notability guidelines, and since this term will continue to be looked up on Wikipedia for the reason alone that this Pokémon is a playable Super Smash Bros. character. I'd recommend creating a draft at Draft:Greninja first (...wait, that exists and is a redirect ... may work to resolve this). Either way, deleting per WP:REDLINK is not really an option in this case due to the popularity of this title as a search term; readers need to go somewhere when looking up this term.

  • ...Just a follow-up, the aforementioned edit is now at Draft:Greninja. I just resolved some WP:CWW issues that resulted from a recent WP:CUTPASTE move, and the edit, as well as the former article, ended up there. Steel1943 (talk) 15:44, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as redirect - Draft does not establish notability yet. Per WP:POKEMON and the WP:GNG, consensus is not to make an article for every single one of these fictional creatures, especially in cases like this, where it’s largely a list of in-game attributes and game appearances. Reception section is very weak, and at least one source (Gamerant) is not considered a reliable source. It’s a valid redirect, so I really don’t think this is the best avenue to discuss this. I’d recommend developing a better draft and then getting a consensus of support at WP:VG by starting a discussion there. Sergecross73 msg me 16:57, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Developed a bit of a better draft. On the topic of the draft establishing notability, just added/merged content from this revision of Draft:Greninja (2) into Draft:Greninja, which hopefully better establishes its notability further. Paintspot Infez (talk) 01:10, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Content from this revision of Draft:Greninja (2) may be helpful to merge into Draft:Greninja. Steel1943 (talk) 18:54, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Just did that! Thanks. Hopefully it better establishes its notability further.

• Keep as redirect - draft doesn't come close to establishing any real world notability. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 22:30, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Its still not there. I think you need to do some research into notability and how to write encyclopedic articles. There’s an entire paragraph in the Reception section listing off how the subject is in trading card games and has its own amiibo (essentially an action figure). That fundamentally not “reception”, nor does it help the case for notability. Large unsourced paragraphs detailing his in-game attributes don’t help either. I dont say this to be mean, but as advice to benefit you - wait and learn how to do this correctly before you end up wasting more of your own time, because you’re not on the right track here...

delete - there is no "weakly symmetric matter". It is an expression invented by the first author. If it would be an article it would be a speedy deletion candidate but redirects don't seem to have an equivalent process for invented names. mfb (talk) 06:03, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia → Goulburn, New South Wales  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Country appended to place name. I don't see the point. No precedent, city-state-country is not the way we link. MB 01:42, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep extremely plausible search term. Internal links are not the only reasons redirects exist and there very much is precedent, e.g. Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia, Mount View, New South Wales, Australia, Bourke, New South Wales, Australia, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia, etc. Thryduulf (talk) 13:35, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So we should create a few hundred thousand of these? MB 15:37, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No. If a human finds any particular one useful then they should feel free to create them, and once created they shouldn't be deleted (assuming there are no other issues with them) but there is no need to create them systematically. Thryduulf (talk) 20:24, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I already changed the link from Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia to Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia, and wouldn't be surprised if someone else changes it to Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia. So there is no use of it and don't see how that even if someone did think it was useful, we shouldn't judge that it really isn't. MB 20:48, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, internal links are no the only reason redirects exist. There are links from old revisions of that page that could be reverted to or viewed, there could be links from external websites, bookmarks, etc. and it's a very plausible search term. Just because you do not find a redirect useful does not mean that someone else doesn't - see WP:RFD#KEEP point 5. Points 2 and 4 also apply. Thryduulf (talk) 21:16, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
