Ravenhill is a part of the Lonely Mountain in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. However, this mountain no longer has it's own article, and it is not important enough to be mentioned at the target article (an overview of Middle-earth). Redirects are WP:CHEAP, but sometimes, deletion is better than having a maze of redirects that do not lead to applicable content. Hog Farm ( talk) 20:36, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
While there's some overlap between the search term and target here, they're not synonymous.
Majoritarianism describes a political philosophy advocating for the political primacy of a majority demographic, whereas "dominant majority" is a phrase used in many different contexts, often simply describing a very large majority. If we were to assume that the political understanding of "dominant majority" is the primary topic, then
Majority rule would be a more appropriate target than Majoritarianism, as it discusses the actual incidence of political primacy of a demographic majority, whereas Majoritarianism describes a political philosophy that encourages this mode of governance. That aside, searching Google Scholar and Wikipedia suggests that "dominant majority" is more frequently used for non-political contexts; on Wikipedia, the most common usage of the phrase is to describe the dominant majority of male editors on Wikipedia
, a situation that is neither political nor intentional. I think deletion is the most appropriate action at this time. signed,

I can't find any mentions of this Middle-earth river in Wikipedia. There appears to be no history that would need to be kept for licensing purposes (article was redirected, content not retained). If a user finds a reference in the Wikipedia I missed, I will support a redirect. Otherwise, this should be deleted. Having redirects not mentioned anywhere is like having terms in a book's index that aren't actually mentioned there. Hog Farm ( talk) 15:46, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
Not mentioned in the target, this redirect refers to a meme. Delete per WP:NOTURBANDICT signed, Rosguill talk 15:44, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Those are stenters, redirecting to Tenterhook. please look.
Tenterhooks do have an historical relationship to Stenters, but to redirect "Stenter" to a pre industrial revolution cloth hook is stretching things. The article Stenter doesn't exist (yet) Roxy, the PROD. . wooF 12:57, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Target's wife. However she isn't mentioned on the target article and is not individually notable making this a highly implausible search term
