Not mentioned at current or previous target, no suitable retarget candidates evident at
Desjardins (surname), currently this is both navigationally useless and potentially confusing.

The addition of "Freeze" means that it can't be confused with
Live at Tokyo Dome, but despite that, without a mention of this lyric, we don't have anything for readers that search the specific lyric of "everybody clap your hands" instead of the song itself.

- Keep as an
{{
R without mention}}. This line is basically the only one in the entire song, and I don't see any other likely target. FWIW, I didn't know the title of the song for several years but knew this line. -

Wa-huh?? The
Cha Cha Slide is basically nothing BUT lyrics, associated dance moves, a backing beat, and after the line Cha-Cha now, y'all, a short funky sting. Have you been listening to the same song I have??The main issue is that the song isn't referred to as the "Cha-Cha Slide" in the lyrics-- it's referred to as the
Casper Slide Part 2.
...Wait, why isn't
wasn't THAT a redirect...?

- Delete per nom. In addition, tagging a redirect with {{
R without mention}} places the redirect in a maintenance category,
Category:Redirects to an article without mention, that is cleared by adding a mention to the target article, deleting the redirects via
WP:CSD, or nominating the redirects for
WP:RFD ... meaning tagging the redirect as so then "keeping" the redirect is akin to
kicking the can down the road, which is unhelpful since we are literally having the discussion about the redirect right now.

- Y'know, maybe we should edit R Without Mention to more clearly state "hey, this is a maintenance category akin to {{
template:Citation needed}}, it's not meant to be kept on a redirect that intentionally doesn't have a mention on the target, don't tag it as this and then keep". Seems like I see quite a bit of people
erroneously using R Without Mention's existence as an rcat as proof that Rs without mention are Okay in certain circumstances, akin to {{
template:R from non-neutral name}}.

- Or maybe the maintenance category should be seperated from the tag, because there are plenty of situations where we don't need or want a mention at the target, but the redirect is still helpful to have. Incidentally, I agree with Presidentman above that this should be one such. Imagine if
I get knocked down didn't redirect to
Tubthumping... how would people find it? (yes I know Tubthumping does reference the line, but even if it didn't I'd hope this redirect would exist!) Keep.
Fieari (

- The issue with that is that there would be nothing left to populate said maintenance category. ...Maybe there should be two separate rcats? {{
R without mention}} and {{
R intentionally without mention}}, perhaps. (also rq: editing my first comment here to link to a relevant essay)

- "R from lyric" is a template for "lyric redirects that point to a source that describes the lyric". Redirects should not exist for every lyric that people can think of. The long-established metric applicable for all of the actually-valid "R from lyrics" is based on whether or not there is a mention in the article (and thusly a reliable source that can be attributed to and corroborate the lyric mention, in practice)

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:
No mentions of "clean" at the target page. At the target page, the act of singing is never implied to be "clean", or even consist of "clean vocals". The primary justification for this redirect existing is that
unclean vocals is a redirect to
death growl. Yet, its antonym has no mention at the general page for "singing". If clean and unclean vocals are antonyms, and both are redirects, this seems to imply that the concepts of "singing" and "death growl" are also "antonyms" in regard to vocal quality? Likely true, but never addressed (nor does it need to be imo). For someone specifically looking for information on the topic of "clean vocals", it seems to be preferable for these readers to end up at a topic that is directly pertinent to vocal quality. If people wanted to end up at
Singing instead, they'd type
singing, a concept everyone would have already been familiar with.

- Of note, an RfD for
Clean vocals closed as retarget in 2015, but was pointed back to
Singing after its conclusion three different times by two users, citing different material at the page for
Screaming (music) (the resulting retarget).

- Comment I agree with the nominator that someone searching for "Clean vocals" or "Clean vocalist" is looking for more than the page on singing, and wants to know about the quality of the voice instead. I've been searching around, and the best page for information on vocal quality appears to be at
Vocal pedagogy, but that page is super technical and seems a bit more deeply theoretical and broad topic than someone looking for information on voice quality. I'm not sure we actually have the perfect article to target for these... in which case maybe
WP:REDLINKing it (that is, deletion) would be appropriate to encourage article creation. But I'm on the fence, so no formal !vote from me as of now.

- Retarget ... somewhere. The term "clean vocals" is only relevant in the context of certain genres of music which use vocal techniques commonly called "unclean".
Singing doesn't describe any of those techniques and is the wrong target; the word "clean" doesn't appear in the article at all. The problem is that this makes sense as an {{
R from antonym}} to both
screaming (music) and
death growl, which are both different techniques, and both of those articles describe "clean vocals" in context. There's a former article in the redirect's history (
[1]) which was prodded many years ago for having no sources at all. We shouldn't restore that, but maybe a short
set index/disambiguation, to give the term context? Or else expanding the very bare section on those two vocal styles at
Extended vocal technique#Distortion and then targeting there? As an antonym to
unclean vocals and
harsh vocals, which probably should get the same treatment as this redirect. I can find a few sources to draft something but I'm about to be in meetings for the foreseeable future (ugh).

- I'll note that R From Antonym is not a "categorize this kept redirect" rcat, but instead, a "populate this maintenance category" redirect. I don't know WHY, but it IS.
