• Keep. If it's the only organisation with these initials, it makes sense to redirect the acronym there — maybe it's not commonly used, but it's unambiguous and not an error. If any other organisation with these initials gets an article, we can retarget or disambiguate the acronym, but until then, keep as is. Nyttend ( talk) 23:09, 16 July 2019 (UTC) reply

• Some of these were merged but I don't know if the content still exists there or in another article. Peter James ( talk) 16:41, 16 July 2019 (UTC) reply
• Restore Final Fantasy character jobs as an article (considering the place where any applicable redirects' content was merged in Recurring elements in the Final Fantasy series no longer exists), retarget all applicable redirects targeting Recurring elements in the Final Fantasy series back to Final Fantasy character jobs, and then send Final Fantasy character jobs to WP:AFD.

• Redirect to the dab page. I'm not familiar with every game that exists, but to take "Beastmaster" as an example - World of Warcraft has that class specialization. It is very plausible that someone would search for that an expect to get a result. The dab page could handle that, where editors can add links to the correct list entries (if they exist). Alternatively, it could also redirect to Ranger (character class) which does mention "Beastmaster". -- Gonnym ( talk) 10:32, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply

• A dab page is meant to disambiguate articles. There is no article listing various classes in each game. That would be an improper use of redirects.

Montane and mountain meadows are apparently synonyms for each other. Alpine tundra is a mountain meadow, but many mountain meadows aren't alpine tundra at all; this is particularly significant in the southern Appalachians (USA), e.g. the large Big Meadows or the tiny GW Jeep Site both consist of grassland surrounded by woods, far below where the treeline would be. If I ran across one of these terms and wanted to learn more, I'd assume that a mountain meadow is always alpine tundra, so this pair of redirects unfortunately causes confusion.
