This redirect's subject is apparently the mother of the redirect's target's subject. However, the redirect is not mentioned in the target article; also, the redirect's subject plays such a minor role in the
Metroid series that I (as a person who has essentially played all Metroid titles, with the exception of
Metroid: Other M) cannot even recall this character. In fact, upon research, it seems that the redirect's subject was only present in the the manga,
which doesn't even have its own article. With this information, I would say delete per
WP:NOTWIKIA.

In 2005, this redirect was an article that was merged per a VFD discussion. However, at the present time, there is no information about the subject at its current target or the target it had when the article was merged. And per what the subject is for (a theory that there is more than one version of
Link (The Legend of Zelda) in the
The Legend of Zelda video game series), trying to recreate this information anywhere on Wikipedia is a violation of
WP:NOTFANSITE.

In the
The Legend of Zelda video game series universe, this term refers collectively to a family of royalty in the game that includes more than just the redirect's target, and trying to go into more detail on Wikipedia is essentially against

A list as described by the redirect's name does not exist in its target article. The only possible retargeting option I see is

This is an in-game item/concept that has a strong connection to its target due to being introduced in
Super Mario World, but has since been in several games in the
Super Mario series since then, and not being an item exclusive to the redirect's current target in later games in the video game series. At the present time, there is no mention of the redirect's subject in its current target, and I cannot find a suitable option for retargeting. At this point, I'm seeing this redirect's existence being violations of
WP:NOTWIKIA and
WP:GAMEGUIDE.

- @
Nyttend: Yep, you understood the purpose behind my nomination fully. However, the main concern I have about retaining the redirect is the lack of biographical information about the redirects' subject at the target, which may be able to be resolved if the previous article version of

- If all we can find about him is that he's done a voice for Bowser, he shouldn't be on Wikipedia at all, except for a short mention in Bowser's article. Since we have some information about him in that article, it can't hurt to tell searchers "Here's what we have on the guy" by sending them there, in addition to discouraging creation of a content-free or references-free article. Very different from your Eric Newsome nomination, since Newsome has done other things (and might qualify for an article) while James hasn't.

It seems that the redirect subject is the "airship" that appears in

No mention on target article, though several articles in the "Crash Bandicoot"-subject articles mention it, but not in detail enough to describe it. The only other place the redirect's topic is listed (that I can find) is

- Weak retarget to
KCBS-TV (no section). She is not mentioned there but according to the station's website she is still employed there. She made worldwide news in 2011 for an on-air
paraphasia incident at the
53rd Grammy Awards which spawned a popular but short-lived internet meme, and the redirect is fairly frequently used (200 hits in November), however her bio didn't seem to quite pass
WP:BLP1E despite a few minor award wins. It might be possible to write an article at some point.

- No objection; I've added it. I prefer to retarget/keep both, as it's a verifiable claim (we can verify that they claim it). And it would be unlikely we'd ever have an article about the world's largest biological apple, so this takes readers to somewhat relevant information. It's at least not generally misleading.

January 2003 for 0 < nn < 32 but not to section. The form
''nn'' January 2003 is always redlink. Other months seem to follow this form, but I haven't checked their targets specifically, only that they exist.
- For 2004, January has the similar form as for 2003.
- For 2003 and 2004, all other dates seem to follow those for January, but I haven't checked their targets only their existence.

Delete. The relation is not clear, and search engines provide results that have nothing to do with the target's subject or anything notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

This is a "nickname" for the target used in only in one video game,
Sonic and the Black Knight. The redirect's name is not mentioned in the target article, and due to lack of a notable connection to the target, fails
WP:NOTWIKIA. However, it seems that a song by the name of "Knight of the Wind" was made for the formerly-mentioned video game and composed by
Crush 40 (a group formed by
Jun Senoue specifically for Sonic the Hedgehog video games) so there may be a retargeting option with this redirect, but I'm leaning more towards delete due to the lack of coverage of the redirect in any of the aforementioned articles.
