This name does not appear anywhere in Fulci's article, and is extremely unlikely to be a search term to find him. Dug around and found that it was a one-off alias for the original U.S. theatrical release of the 1981 film
The Beyond, but the name hasn't been used since.

WP:CHEAP and it's meant to be a shorthand to refer to a segment of the manual of style, similar to things like
MOS:TITLECAPS, during discussions. Referring to excessive decoration as like a Christmas tree is somewhat common. (Will duplicate this for other similar nomination.)

- Delete. Unused for a long time (replaced with
MOS:XMASTREE), and the text there no longer pertains to the shortcut (even the MOS:XMASTREE one should probably stop being "advertised" at the page). There may be some other page (an essay, or whatever) to which WP:XMASTREE would be a more appropriate shortcut. —

- Keep. In fact, I had created this one a couple of months before SMcCandlish added a counterpart with "MOS:" prefix. It's intended to replace an earlier
WP:TOOMANY (and
MOS:TOOMANY) which is indeed too vague by itself and can pertain to almost anything. While the text of MoS never mentioned Christmas trees directly, I guess the metaphor is pretty obvious and the shortcut is much more mnemonical. Deletion will just orphan a lot of existing edit summaries (that are not shown as links in statistics, but do exist). —

- Keep, since it's in use and is "advertised" at the MoS page in question. There is no longer text there using Christmas trees as an example, so that short cut is now a no sequitur and should probably be "retired", but that's a matter for discussion at

Pumpsie Green (1933-2019), full name Elijah Jerry "Pumpsie" Green, who ought to have a redirect from his first+last names, and as this is ambiguous with the man of the same name (born 2003), we need a dab page.

whilst because that article deals with style guide recommendations in the UK and the US regarding usage of "whilst", "amidst", and "amongst". Redirecting to Wiktionary is kind of pointless, because most people who search for the term on Wikipedia likely already know what it means, and want to learn more about it and its relatives. ~

- Soft retarget to Wiktionary, which is set up to provide exactly the kind of usage and etymology information that our hypothetical user is likely to be searching for (in addition to the definitions/translations that a user might also be hoping to find). Even if all of this redirect's assumptions about user intent are correct, dropping the user into an article about a completely different word is a pretty astonishing and suboptimal outcome. (But if
Epenthesis had a English usage section, it would make for a much less astonishing and probably helpful target.) --

- Keep - By my reading, the consensus at the
recent requested move discussion is that
Dries Mertens is the primary topic, hence why the page which was at
Mertens was moved to
Mertens (surname) (in fairness a weak consensus as J947 points out). Not sure what some of the above are getting at with this. If you disagree with the result of the previous RM then start a new one.

- Keep. This redirect is correctly targeted given the outcome of the recent RM. If there is doubt whether or not consensus at that RM was correctly determined, then the correct venue for that is
move review, not RfD or a second RM. A second RM only makes sense if there is reason to believe that consensus has changed due to new information or changing circumstances (unlikely) or to refine consensus when a closer has invoked
WP:NOGOODOPTIONS, which is not the case here. Retargeting to
Mertens (surname) is incorrect per

This was left over from a March 2020 move by the now blocked user
Lugnuts; while there are multiple films with that title (like the
1935 film with its title moved to its present one by the same user), this title doesn't make sense to redirect to the one released in 2019 as it could give the impression that this is part of a series, also refers to other movies with the same title alongside it, or similar. I'd say delete it unless someone can provide a justification here, though I am open to being swayed otherwise. Regards,

In any case, I think weak delete - this has been the title of a disambiguation page but such a page no-longer exists as a brief discussion found that the more recent film is the primary topic.
