• Delete. I created this after reading several articles (which no longer exist, as those publications—one of which I'm quite sure was Billboard—later rectified their own mistake) that claimed "Thunder" was the name of Imagine Dragons' upcoming album, instead of, as was later revealed, just their next single.

Delete, game is currently on ice, and there is no subsistantial information on the target article. Ultimately having an article created would be the best choice, but if not possible the redirect should be deleted. Lordtobi ( ✉) 16:02, 12 June 2017 (UTC) reply

• Keep It's mentioned at the target. Topic has over 300,000 hits from reliable video game sources, which means there is enough coverage from reliable sources to expand at current target article. The redirect doesn't need to be deleted for an article to be created. If an article was created it would likely be merged back to the current target. -- The1337gamer ( talk) 16:06, 12 June 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep. Users search for the game, find the article, which has little information. So it would be better to remove the redirect altogether? The solution is expansion at the target, not deleting the redirect. czar 16:53, 12 June 2017 (UTC) reply

• Retarget to Bethesda Softworks, which has the longer history and already covers (in brief) what the spun-out games studio creates. But this is undeniably a useful search term. (Also most searches for the phrase, outside of Electronic Entertainment Expo news, refer to the publisher.) For what it's worth, I don't see the good in how Bethesda Game Studios was split from Bethesda Softworks in the first place—I would have covered the former in a section of the latter's article... czar 16:38, 12 June 2017 (UTC) reply
• Do not delete I am the original creator of the redirect. I don't know what is best here, but I'm sure deleting it isn't best. I created the redirect because I wanted to read the article about the game company that created the Elder Scrolls games, whatever its name was, and this is what I tried. I would have found a redirect to either Bethesda Softworks or Bethesda Game Studios acceptable, with or without hatnotes, and I would have much preferred to be "misled" in this way than to get the response I did get, which was that Wikipedia did not know what I was talking about and left me with nothing. — Mark Dominus ( talk) 20:10, 12 June 2017 (UTC) reply
