Nintendo not-in-article redirects
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was WP:TRAINWRECK, thus no action will be taken. I was originally considering this action, and
Nyttend pushed me over the edge to go ahead and just do it. (
non-admin closure)

@

Question regarding Nintendo Corporation, Limited: Usually "Co., Ltd." expands to Company, Limited (rather than Corporation, Limited) plus we also have a
Nintendo Company, Limited redirect already, and while we do not maintain a
Nintendo Corporation one, we do have a
Nintendo Company one.

That's a good point that I hadn't fully considered earlier. Perhaps if you would have nominated it separately with that rationale, I wouldn't have left an opinion. However, upon digging deeper I don't see any issue with the redirect. If it's incorrect, then all we'd need to do is add an {{
R from incorrect name}} tag to it. It does seem to have some usage in the wild, a couple links at random include
[1] and
[2]. --

I agree with all of Tavix's suggestions. DeleteNintendo Treehouse, as that's a viable article subject and the main Nintendo article doesn't even mention it; anyone searching for that is going to be annoyed at the lack of information. —

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting since it does not appear all nominated redirects have received an opinion by participants. That, and though there may be rough consensus, in the discussion's current state, it looks like a bit of a
WP:TRAINWRECK. Also, none of the nominated redirects were tagged with {{
Rfd}}, which has now been corrected.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,

Close and renominate the components separately. This is far from being a uniform group of redirects.

Delete as implausible redirect per the lower-casing as well as the disamibugator reminding of
Chicken (game) than a video game.

Delete as there are no other things to dab besides the game.

Delete per nom. None of the characters are independently notable of the game and aren't even mentioned in the article, unless they're hidden in there?

*Keep These are redirects, not articles, so there isn't a requirement for notability.
WP:GAMECRUFT and
WP:GAMEGUIDE are not applicable for the same reason. These are characters from the game, and it's sensible that someone searching for them on-wiki would want to be lead somewhere useful. Hence, they're being redirected to the game itself. The characters were in
the article at one point, and were probably removed. I'm going to add them back in.

Delete Having reviewed
WP:GAMECRUFT, I've changed my mind. I think it's fair to require characters to be discussed in some detail before adding them to the article, and if no such sources exist, redirects don't make sense.

I don't think anyone would type this without a space between "Muhammad" and "(P.B.U.H)".

Delete per nom for the lack of space, and unnecessary disambiguator since Muhammad is primary topic. Also
Muhammad P.B.U.H exists to handle someone wanting to add that part.
AngusWOOF (

Delete. (PBUH) normally appears in parentheses anyway; it's not a disambiguator. But who would abbreviate "peace", "be", and "upon", but not "him"? Even if a space were present, it would be implausible because of the missing punctuation.
Nyttend (

Delete - seems very unlikely anyone will do a search with this particular, rather unusual spelling (no space, periods after only three of the four letters).

unused, implausible/absurd spelling

Delete editors using templates are not likely to make such typos. Could also be confused with illegible.
AngusWOOF (

Weak delete. The nominator's wrong in considering it implausible and absurd, but I'm swayed by Angus' comment about template-users. It's hard to type inelegible when you're trying to type ineligible; people using this misspelling have simply forgotten how to spell the word, and someone using the template will know the correct spelling and/or will simply be copy/pasting it from somewhere. I therefore don't see much chance of this getting used, but if someone can show that it formerly got a bit of use (e.g. diffs replacing {{
PD-inelegible}} with {{
PD-ineligible}}), I'll happily reverse myself.
