Delete: the name is completely meaningless and nothing links to it. It could potentially be retargeted to
roller coaster but I doubt anyone would search using those terms and not already find the article. Themeparkgc Talk 23:50, 26 October 2012 (UTC)reply
^I agree with the above.

The point is how does "Roller Coaster - Coaster" relate directly to just this one roller coaster? On Wikipedia, there are five roller coasters (including the Lagoon one) named "Roller Coaster".
Outside of Wikipedia there are over 150 of them. No edit history other than redirect modifications exist so I don't see a point in keeping it. Themeparkgc Talk 22:51, 29 October 2012 (UTC)reply
When you read it as "Roller coaster (coaster)" (which is what it is attempting to be) you can see that it's a perfectly valid {{R from incomplete disambiguation}}.

I see your point, but that doesn't change that it's an implausible redirect (expect from being a redirect from a move).

Your comment suggests you haven't seen my point, as my point is that it is plausible. I don't recommend creating redirects with this form, but if they have been created and it is obvious what they are attempting to do then it is by definition plausible and deletion will not bring benefits.

Retarget to
Roller coaster (disambiguation). People using this term are probably looking for one of the roller coasters called "roller coaster" and they are all listed on the dab page. It also links to
roller coaster, the general article about the type of ride for which this would also be a logical search term.

Delete I'm sorry, this just seems really implausible as a search term. --

Comment Was the contents of the deleted article about April Fools? If so, couldn't this be speedily deleted as recreation of deleted material? --

I don't think that is. However, having a mainspace redirect which is related to April Fools' Day is what seems unprofessional to me. --

That was deleted because it was patent nonsense, it's deletion is irreverent to this discussion.

Comment Apologies for bringing up the many other titles, which I agree are largely irrelevant to the specific original listing here. However, their situations/histories do indicate that perhaps a wider general consensus should be sought in order to deal with such articles consistently in the future. Maybe members of
WikiProject Days of the year would be well placed to advise. --

Comment, based on that good suggestion I've left a note inviting members of that WikiProject to comment here.

Keep - possibly the best redirect in the encyclopaedia. Likely to have stacks of external links. The other non-dates are worthless, though.
