The result of the discussion was retarget to

Index of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition monsters, because something has to be done here. The others will just have to be treated later. --BDD (talk) 19:18, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply

• Behemoth (Dungeons & Dragons) → Monster Manual (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Not discussed on the target page.

Not sure why this or any other monster name should redirect to Monster Manual, so I think it should be retargeted to the Index page. BOZ (talk) 13:06, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• comment BDD: it will probably be best if you nominate those other redirects in small batches grouped by proposed target spread over several days. In my experience that is the most likely way to avoid no consensus and/or overwhelming people. Awkward42 (talk) [the alternate account of Thryduulf (talk)] 13:57, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll likely do that, but I wanted to see how this one went. If for some reason there was a strong consensus to keep as is, I wouldn't bother. --BDD (talk) 17:08, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete this redirect, as well as the following list of redirects towards Monster Manual:

...As none of these redirects are neither mentioned by subject in Monster Manual, nor are they mentioned in enough detail in any other article (or even in the index articles' tables where the redirects' topics are/may be listed) to warrant the existence of a redirect. Per one of possible routes mentioned by BDD, all of these redirects should be be deleted to promote article creation. Steel1943 (talk) 06:14, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some (most? all?) of those should be retargeted to the Index page, as they actually are mentioned there. BOZ (talk) 06:23, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• anchors in the appropriate articles. I would have no idea where to start to find out neither when each of these monsters were first mentioned, nor which index or list article they could be placed. Steel1943 (talk) 06:35, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply

• Sorry, I was referring to
  Index of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition monsters as previously linked to above. BOZ (talk) 16:11, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply

• @
  List of Dungeons & Dragons monsters, and had a difficult time finding the subjects for the redirects in those pages as well. Due to the way the D&D monster lists are organized at this time, unless all of these separate list/index articles can be somehow merged together and become one easy-to-navigate list/index article, I still believe the redirects should be deleted, at least for the time being.

• I'm not following your logic regarding redirection vs. deletion and re-creation. What is it about the current redirects that cannot be modified to achieve the desired results? BOZ (talk) 18:56, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• • Commment None of the additional redirects listed by Steel1943 appear to have been tagged for RfD. 149.241.77.1 (talk) 08:47, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Correct, as I am not nominating them, but rather stating the amount of redirects that, in my opinion, would/should be affected by the outcome of this RfD (which coincides with my vote.) If anyone feels that they should be included in this RfD listing, feel free to tag the redirects listed in my comment above. Steel1943 (talk) 18:02, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I don't really think tagging them all is necessary. I've notified the D&D WikiProject about this discussion. Theoretically, the creator of one of these could be dead-set on redirecting to Monster Manual, but we can cross that bridge in the unlikely event that we come to it. --BDD (talk) 18:10, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• To all involved in this discussion (BDD, BOZ, etc.), you may be interested in an RfD I started for Abishi. Turns out that redirect may not have a specific target on any article due to being a misspelling. Steel1943 (talk) 17:52, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget
  Giant black squirrel to Black giant squirrel as a plausible synonym/mispelling.--Lenticel ^(talk) 06:02, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply
