The result of the discussion was keep, but change sections to The Legend of Zelda#Music and sound. --BDD (talk) 19:15, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Zelda theme → The Legend of Zelda#Music  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 
• Zelda Theme → The Legend of Zelda#Music  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

These redirects are so ambiguous that they seem unhelpful. The word "theme" and "song" are not synonymous with each other. Also, the section at The Legend of Zelda#Music, the redirects' current target, is about when the series' music has been performed live (so this section isn't about the history of the "Zelda theme" song.)

Nominator comment: Since I just found a related article, Super Mario Bros. theme, I also think these should be deleted per WP:REDLINK in the event that these redirects are not considered ambiguous. Steel1943 (talk) 05:06, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind on that, as stated below regarding content already existing. Steel1943 (talk) 13:36, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• The relevant information is located at The Legend of Zelda#Music and sound, particularly the paragraph that starts with «"The Legend of Zelda Theme" is a recurring piece of music...». I didn't research the history of the article exhaustively to confirm, but I'd guess that the section was renamed at some point (and would offer that the current section "Music" is not appropriately named, given its contents and the principle of least surprise). If you indulge me the impertinence, I honestly think you've spent more time setting up this discussion than you would have locating the proper information (which surely one would expect to exist in the article!) and adjusting the target of the redirects. I've updated the redirect targets and suggest the outcome of this discussion to be Keep. --Waldir ^talk 02:52, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe something could redirect there, but this comment doesn't seem to address the ambiguity of the best phrase "Zelda theme". Zelda is a disambiguation page and "theme" is ambiguous. A more precise term than this would be more preferable. Steel1943 (talk) 05:02, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Both "Zelda" and "theme" may be ambiguous, but I'd argue that the expression "Zelda theme" is not. --Waldir ^talk 09:49, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • After I found Super Mario Bros. theme, I agree with you about "theme", but still not about "Zelda". To compare, Legend of Zelda theme and The Legend of Zelda theme would not be ambiguous titles. Steel1943 (talk) 17:22, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to The Legend of Zelda#Music and sound. An action which, BTW, doesn't necessarily need an RfD. "Zelda theme" seems a plausible search term, and "ambiguous" isn't a reason to delete it. VQuakr (talk) 07:10, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• @VQuakr: If a term/redirect is ambiguous to a point where it doesn't seem to specifically refer to its current target and if a disambiguation page isn't plausible at the redirect's title, WP:XY basically states "Yes it is". Steel1943 (talk) 13:31, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to The_Legend_of_Zelda#Music_and_sound as the theme music is a significant, often commented on part of the video game series CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 10:15, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to The Legend of Zelda#Music and sound - Plausible search term as it's already mentinoned at the above target it seems better to redirect then delete. –Davey2010^Talk 17:34, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trump has had an interesting relationship with the WWE, but it would be silly to claim that it's his Raw or that it would be titled that way. Trump isn't mentioned at the article and I haven't been able to find reliable sources calling it "Trump Raw," even for promotional purposes.

Delete as title unrelated to WWE Raw. AnAwesomeArticleEditor (talk) 21:35, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Trump's association with professional wrestling is something that probably deserves its own section in some page, somewhere, but I'm not sure where. As it stands, the WWE Raw's own page doesn't even refer to Trump, as stated above, and this redirect ought to be deleted. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 10:17, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete:. Same reason as I stated for the deletion nomination of Esc2017. Editor has clearly created these redirects in good faith and not fully understanding procedure. Might be worth checking if they have done more than just Esc2001, Esc2003, and Esc2017. They may have done similar for all 62 Eurovision contests and 14 Junior Eurovision contests.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Crash Team Racing#Sequels. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 04:37, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Crash Team Racing 2010 → Crash Bandicoot  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The subject of this redirect is not mentioned in the target article. Per the redirect's history, this title represents a different subject than the subject in Crash Team Racing, but the subject of the redirect seems to be mentioned in that article briefly at Crash Team Racing#Sequels, but I'm not sure if that is a good option for retargeting since the subject of Crash Team Racing was rereleased in 2010 for certain consoles. Steel1943 (talk) 18:37, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Crash Team Racing#Sequels. In case someone was looking for the cancelled video game title. There should be some reliable news sources from game magazines that the video footage was posted (or leaked) to the groups. It doesn't make sense to redirect to the entire Crash Bandicoot franchise article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:38, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• LSTI → LTE (telecommunication)#Overview  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect causes confusion from my point of view as it does not adress WP:UCN. As far as I can see there has been a previous AFD for this redirect [[2]], where a discussion has been archived. The impression I gain from the argumentation there is that LSTI seems to have been a (internal) working title for a short period of time during the standard development. Nevertheless I could not find a single reference on the web so far where this abbreviation is used nor what it exactly stands for, which makes this redirect questionable as the is no verification for any use of this name anywhere. Therefore I consider it better to delete it. Nightwalker-87 (talk) 11:30, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• WCDMA HSPA frequency bands → UMTS frequency bands  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect title is strongly misleading and also false. W-CDMA is an air interface and HSPA is a technology used in UMTS. It is not associated with frequency bands itself. The intention for creating this article probably was to point out that UMTS is deployed in different frequency bands. From may point of view it is completely sufficient to introduce a link to UMTS frequency bands in the section "See also" of the article HSPA to lead readers to the existing table of frequency bands, without consolidating false associations. Therefore I propose to delete the questioned redirect. Nightwalker-87 (talk) 11:08, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• W-CDMA 2100 → UMTS frequency bands  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect title is strongly misleading and also false. W-CDMA is an air interface used in UMTS. It is not associated with a frequency itself. The intention for creating this article probably was to point out that UMTS is mainly deployed at 2100 MHz. Anyway as this is also not the case this redirect does not make any sense and there is also no new target article where it can point to to fulfil its pupose. Therefore I propose to delete it.

• UMTS 8 → LTE (telecommunication)  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete redirect. It is strongly misleading. I think that the original intention was to point out the 3GPP Release 8 introduced LTE, but this resulted in the definition "UMTS" == "3GPP Release" which is absolutely wrong. The "8" could also be associated with (GSM) "Band 8" at 900 MHz. As this causes even more confusion and does not aid any, I propose to delete this redirect.

• Delete - The Gish Gallup is a strategy of debating that's been around for decades, predating even Gish himself, and probably deserves its own article.
