- Yes, retarget to Cipollino marble is the right way to go. That article was only created in 2011, and the redirect dates to 2006, so at that time the generic "marble" was the best target. The term is occasionally in use in English sources, e.g.
here a few times or
here or
here, clearly referring to a kind of marble. The fact that cipolin and cipollino are the French and Italian names for the same or very similar things can be seen
here or

Potential variations of the target page's subject that are not mentioned in the target article. Probably best to delete these, considering that some of these could be search terms for readers trying to find
Marble (toy).

- Comment On balance, I tend to concur with
Steel1943 that deletion is likely best here. What's our policy guidance on redirects described by various adjectives (i.e., colour combinations)? Seemingly, the potential colour combinations are endless, so where to draw on the line on what's useful. Do we just look at pageviews for each and, if less than 5 pageviews per month, delete?

- Delete per nom. Redirects not mentioned in the target are useless. Colour adjectives are fine if they define something specific, but listing every possible colour of a natural substance opens the floodgates (why no redirects from 'red marble', 'pink marble' or 'blue marble', all known colours).
Narky Blert (

- Delete all except
White marble as

marble (toy) makes me recommend deletion in most cases but
White marble is used enough to be useful. The hatnote can suffice in the latter case.

- ...The page views for
White marble seem to stem from the fact that it has a good number of
incoming links in the "(article)" namespace. To me, that hints one of two things: Either the adjective "white" is unnecessary to link and thus erroneously included in these links, or the term "white marble" represents an encyclopedic subject separate and independently notable from
Marble which rationalizes it being deleted per
WP:REDLINK to allow article creation at that title. Bottom line is if anyone searching that term is expecting to find information about the subject "white marble", the redirect in its current form is unhelpful with helping readers find that information since it doesn't exist at
Marble.

- Retarget
Nero Marquina to
Nero Marquina marble. Even if this hadn't existed as an article, I don't understand the need to delete this. It clearly isn't the name of a toy, and if I, as a reader, would read about "nero marquina" without knowing what it is, would get redirected to "marble", then surely I would at least know that it is a type of marble? Having such a redirect is better than not having it. The other ones have marble in the title, so these are rather unnecessary or at worst confusing: but "nero marquina" has no indication what it could be.

Yes, this is this fictional character's title. However, this title can refer to multiple fictional characters (the title is not even exclusive to Thranduil in Middle-earth, there are a couple other elves referred to as the "elven-king"). There are also several poems (Erlkönig for one) and a band (
Elvenking (band) with either this name or one the translates closely. Proposing retarget to
Elvenking, since this redirect could refer to many things besides just
Thranduil.

- Retarget per nom. "Der Erlkönig" is not only a famous poem by Goethe, but also an extremely famous lied by Schubert; one of his best-known half-dozen at least. It's most often translated as "The Elf King" (actually mistranslated - it's "The Alder King"), but with 200 years of translation, who can tell what variants have been used? There's also the band. This is simply too ambiguous to be a

This phrase could also potentially refer to subjects pertaining to

- Delete per nom. Shawty Putt is apparently the stage name of
this artist. Shawty Redd, mentioned in the article, seems to be a different "Shawty" and the cofounder with Lil Jon et al. of the record label.
Shawty Putt has decent pageviews (316 from 29 January 2019 through 29 January 2020, the day before
BDD nominated it), but, due to the lack of a mention and the fact users/readers/patrons will be confused and may incorrectly think Shawty Redd is Shawty Putt, deletion is best here, I think. This is, of course, without prejudice to recreation should it be mentioned in this article in the future. As well,
WP:RFD#DELETE criterion #10 likely applies (would sure have been nice to have WP:FORRED as a shortcut for this more appropriate policy target!). --

Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker, the artist received airplay on the Sonic radio station in Edmonton, Alberta, so the terms "sonic" and "synergy" are mentioned there, but as a complete term, I don't see any mention anywhere.

Rosguill wants to, per
WP:IAR,
boldly and speedily retarget; technically, they could do this in a two-step "speedy keep" and then boldly retargeting, so this just saves a step). I had to chuckle when I first saw this redirect because I knew immediately it was likely
Marillyn Hewson, who is also my personal favourite female CEO as I greatly admire her business acumen and leadership. Upon Googling, I was surprised there were 5,500+ non-duplicated results, some of them quoted by
Donald Trump, which reminded me of
List of nicknames used by Donald Trump someone mentioned when discussing the redirect for
Creepy porn lawyer that had been targeted to
Michael Avenatti. I'm not normally a fan of retargeting redirects to lists, as I expressed when
Wugapodes suggested retargeting
non-notable brokerage channel Canadian banks
General Bank of Canada and
DirectCash Bank to
List of banks and credit unions in Canada because that list is mostly blue and redlinks. In this case, though, this is just a list of nicknames, with citations, that President Trump uses to describe certain individuals on
Twitter. So, I'm fine with a retarget, and it gets users to information on the context in which the term was used. --
