• Bethesda Montreal → Bethesda Game Studios  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete as misleading, indicates that there is a business division of Bethesda Softworks in Montreal (which there is not), or a falsely disambiguation inexistent city "Bethesda, Montreal".

• Keep. Plenty of sources[6][7][8] czar 16:40, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Thank you to Czar for finding those sources. Whether they ever operate under the name "Bethesda Montreal", I don't know, but it's harmless for Wikipedia to keep this, and there's no possible other target that I can see. - Richard Cavell (talk) 00:31, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Bethesda Games → Bethesda Game Studios  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete, misleading: Could refer either the the developer, the publisher, or a probable list of games of either of the two prior.

• Don't delete. If the developer is the primary topic then keep as is and add a hatnote. If the publisher is primary then retarget there and add a hatnote. If the list of games is primary then retarget there and add a hatnote. If none of those are primary then disambiguate. Whatever happens this doesn't warrant deletion.

• Retarget to
  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]

• Bethesda VR → Bethesda Softworks  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete, not in target article, seems like fan-named branding.

• Keep The initiative was announced last year at E3. Topic has over 3000 results from
  reliable video game sources, which means there is enough information to write about this topic in the target article. Instead of nominating redirects for deletion en-masse because not in target article, please at least try to research if the sources exist and information on the topic can be added to the target first. --The1337gamer (talk) 16:12, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply

• Keep per above. The company's VR efforts are widely referenced as "Bethesda VR" per a
  video game reliable sources custom Google search. "please at least try to research if the sources exist and information on the topic can be added to the target first" is also good advice, especially considering what I've already said at your prior noms in the past several weeks... czar 16:22, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply
  ]
• Keep per Czar. You are making a very large number of nominations, and it's not clear that you've fully researched all of them. Be careful this doesn't become disruptive. It is much better to go slower and fully research each redirect you nominate than to get through things quickly. Thryduulf (talk) 16:35, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• It's kind of a stretch to assume fans are calling something in Bethesda by this name just as a fan-naming thing. Unless they were actually dabbling in VR, I can't imagine why anyone would come up with this term in reference to what they were doing. Definitely keep per the three !votes so far.

• Keep - This company is (re)releasing some of the landmark works in gaming history in virtual reality. They have simply added the letters "VR" to "Fallout 4" and "Doom". It's consistent with Bethesda's own naming practices for someone to search for the company name plus "VR" and expect to find our best article on the subject. - Richard Cavell (talk) 17:13, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Bethasda Softworks → Bethesda Softworks  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete, unlikely typo.

• Keep. A search in the
  video game reliable sources custom Google search shows that it is indeed a common typo. czar 16:22, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply
  ]

  "Bethasda Softworks" return exactly three results, two of which are forgein, while the third is a user comment.

  ✉) 16:25, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply

The typo is "Bethasda" and the differentiation from other "Bethasdas" is "Softworks". Not difficult. czar 16:30, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Czar and the above noise level number of hits this gets (24 last year). Thryduulf (talk) 16:37, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - this redirect is harmless and it gets the user to where they're going. - Richard Cavell (talk) 00:35, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep, I suppose it's a likely mistake as a result of momentary confusion - I've had such moments myself. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist ^{(Speak quickly)} _{(Follow my trail)} 11:47, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Th beast → The Beast  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete. Declined R3 as not created recently enough. Very unlikely the "e" would be omitted. UnitedStatesian (talk) 12:42, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete pure typo, unlikely of repetition. --Bejnar (talk) 13:16, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• weak keep it got 20 hits last year, which is more than noise level. Also this has been around very nearly 10 years so why on earth you thought R3 would apply is mind boggling. Thryduulf (talk) 16:40, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The R3 was in '10 when it was created in '07. Mind still boggled? UnitedStatesian (talk) 13:04, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Slightly less, but 3 months is not recent enough for R3 purposes, let alone 3 years. Thryduulf (talk) 22:25, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: implausible typo that serves only to crowd out more relevant suggestions in the search box drop-down list. – Uanfala 18:56, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per
  WP:RTYPO. Skipping a keystroke is a likely mistake, I do it all the time. As for the autocomplete suggestion list, that seems to be more of a flaw in the system than any problem inherent with this redirect - perhaps a tweak to exclude RTYPO pages?

• Delete - Other spelling errors such as mixing up an "i" and "e" are not be easily noticeable to those less versed in English, while Leaving out an "e" on the word "the" is noticeable to those less versed in English. As the error is likely to be recognized, they can correct it if needed and submit the search again. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 22:39, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Lego Harry Potter (video game) → Lego Harry Potter: Years 1–4  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete, this could either refer to this game, its sequel, or the remastered collection, but we cannot determin what the user is actually looking for.

• Retarget to Lego Harry Potter which has a hatnote up front for the video games. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 07:33, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• No doubt that users will be looking for this topic by this name, but the the series article is the obvious redirect target. Retarget to Lego Harry Potter, where they can figure out which one they want. Ideally, there would be a section on the games in the article. czar 16:26, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• What AngusWOOF said. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist ^{(Speak quickly)} _{(Follow my trail)} 11:59, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Lego Harry Potter#Video games, where I've created a brief section to cover both video games, along with a bundled collection. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:37, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@

Lego Creator: Harry Potter or its successor Creator: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (although that article is unsourced). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:26, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply

Then it can be added to the section I referenced above. -- Tavix ^(talk) 16:16, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
