I initially retargeted this to Owl Service, but there really isn't a great target for this. It was initially targeting
SEPTA subway–surface trolley lines, before my retarget. This doesn't really seem to refer to any specific concept and I cannot find anything to back it up as a nickname for the subway-surface, so I think deletion is the best route.

- Delete This isn't an appropriate target, and it turns out that nobody thought that it was; this redirect wasn't created intentionally. Rather, it came about as a consequence of multiple rounds of bot-driven double-redirect fixing as a consequence of
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Neo-ninja; as far as I can tell this would have been a quadruple redirect if not for the bot fixes, and some of the individual steps along the chain were a little dicey in the first place. It isn't surprising that, after what is effectively a bot-driven game of
Chinese whispers, the resulting redirect doesn't make any sense. --

Martial arts#20th century (1914 to 1989) which describes the popularisation of Eastern martial arts in the West.
Martial arts craze originally redirected to
Ninja craze (which made a lot more sense). That title was redirected to
Neo-ninja which was later merged with
Schools of Ninjutsu, and still later renamed to the current target. I tend to agree that that is too vague even for its original target. I also think that
Ninja craze ought to be retargeted to
Ninjas in popular culture#Modern popular culture which does indeed describe a modern ninja craze.

This currently redirects to a section of a template which is transcluded on

- Keep: The section is shared between LOTR and FOTR, (FOTR being one of three arbitrarily-divided volumes of LOTR, the publisher's choice) so it makes no difference; the actual text is in the shared template. I'm actually not at all sure why this should have been brought to XfD as deletion doesn't seem to be proposed, nor to be a sensible option. I suggest we take no action.

Delete. I'm not seeing the point of this redirect. I was expecting to be taken to a list of characters, or at least something that was organised by character. Instead, it just goes to the plot summary of The Fellowship of the Ring. That's just confusing for the user, especially if they have already found the FOTR page. It would be better to delete the redirect so that only the FOTR page turns up in search results and the user is not confused into believing we have more to find when we do not.

this edit the page was allegedly merged to
Beach muscles, but that page's history shows that
absolutely nothing was added between the merge template being added and removed, other than an unreferenced tag. "Beach muscles was [
prodded in 2020, but instead of deletion it was
redirected by an editor to
Ripping (bodybuilding), again without merging anything. So it is not surprising that the target contains no information because it is two fake merges distant from the original article. Both editors should be

Getty Museum also redirects to

Originally created in error by block-evading sockpuppet
JawnFamily when
moving from
Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr. We already are retaining the correct alternative name
Qasim al-Faqih as a redirect, so to also keep this minimally different but wrong redirect seems superfluous.
Moreover, when one types in "Qasim al" or "Qasim al-faq" what should appear is the correct
Qasim al-Faqih, not this. This is especially important given that the target page does not mention "Qasim al-Faqih" for the time being, giving readers the impression that "Qasim al-Faqi" is correct.

- Keep as a redirect from a former username, as the name has not been usurped. The account was renamed from Citebot, but there was a delay in renaming, and the user continued to edit and was blocked; after the renaming there was no reason for the block to remain. Probably not the user's first account but
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wood_flooring&diff=prev&oldid=754045526 is the reason for the sockpuppet tag (added by the user whose edit was reverted there); the edit summary indicates that it may be a mistaken edit and possibly a coincidence that they started editing after the other account was blocked.
