- Delete per nominator. The search term is not implausible - the topic is something some people will be looking for and some of them will use a search term like this one, however the redirect is misleading because we do not have such a list (at the target or elsewhere).
Thryduulf (

- Regarding implausibility, I would like to add that the redirect name includes "of G-man character", symbolizing broken English and malcapitalization of "G-Man", then plus the "(Half-Life)" appendix making it additionally unlikely to be searched for. Any similar version of this name is not present (a proper form, even if it should not be created, would be "List of in-game appearances of [the] G-Man").

There is just one line on that something was cut, the redirect title implies to lead somewhere that explains what was cut and why, but it does not.

- Delete all The characters are improperly capitalized, implausible search terms - or in the worst case, such as
Dr. Kleiner, can cause confusion with real people named Kleiner. Creatures should be deleted as they could potentially cause confusion with real animals.

I've gone through the list and struck the ones that have been refined. Here are my revised recommendations on what's left:
Delete:
- ionized plasma leviator - it's spelled levitator and the properly spelled one does not have a redirect (the article has a link but it goes to plasma)
- Ionised plasma leviator - same as above
- Carnivorous leech - regular leeches are carnivorous so this is redundant. I redirected it to leech, but the term "carnivorous leech" isn't used in regular biology either.
- Carnivorous Leech - same as above
- Baby Voltigore - already have Voltigore, don't need the baby version, which is not mentioned in that section, not really.
- Baby Garg - The baby version isn't a separate creature from Gargantua
- Antlion Guard - the individual types of Antlions don't need to have redirects when they are just generic names like worker or guardi, except for the weirdly named ones such as Myrmidont and Acidlion
- Grav jumping - not even listed in Wikia.
- Anomalous materials - yes, there's a lab in the game called Anomalous Materials Lab, but the use of anomalous isn't exclusive to Half-Life. Also with
WP:RECENTISM there's the phrase "anomalous purchase of educational materials" pertaining to
Nur Misuari's arrest.

Weak delete :
- Anticitizen One - is a name of a chapter (scenario? level?) in the Half-Life 2 game, and also a moniker given to Gordon Freeman in Half-Life 2. This is kind of like
Public Enemy No. 1. Unfortunately it's not described in either place. Needs to be added in the place for it to be useful.
- Antimass spectrometer - mentioned at start of game where it explodes in the
Black Mesa Research Facility. Otherwise it isn't a key notable fictional element for the franchise.
- Anti-mass spectrometer - same as above.
- The Battle of Black Mesa - Considering much of the game takes place at the Black Mesa facility, and that it is an FPS so there are fights, it is not clear which battle this is referring to.
- Battle of Black Mesa
- The Battle of City 17 - Similarly for Half-Life 2, much of the storyline takes place in City 17.
- Battle of City 17
- Battle for City 17
- Lambda Resistance (Half-Life 2) - not referred to in the game as such, just Resistance. They use lambda logos but so what?
Keep:
- The Resistance (Half-Life 2) - main group name for the characters who fight against the Combine. Described in the plot and gameplay sections.
I need some help figuring out the Weak deletes as those require more game detail that isn't listed in the article.

- In my opinion, all of the "weak deletes" should still be deleted. Even "The Resistance (Half-Life 2)" which is an overly generic term. I might as well just make a "The Resistance (Foo)" redirect for every book and movie that has a resistance against something.

Does not redirect to any series article, merely the first game of it. Article itself should not be created in the first place, as the guideline poses a minimum of three game-in-series articles on Wikipedia; though there are only two games in the series.

- Delete - I only redirected it initially as an easy way to take care of an obvious breach of the video game article guidelines. (No series articles unless there's at least 3 entries.) It's far from receiving a third entry, (and even then, it'd be plausible, but not necessarily necessary) so I'm fine with deleting for now.
