At the present time, it doesn't. Readers could be searching these terms thinking we know something about what will happen in 4 or 8 years when we don't.

For reference, 2024 Summer Olympics medal table was created on 7 May 2024, 2020 Summer Olympics medal table was created as a redirect in 2018 (possibly too early, but I've not looked to see if there was content at the target at the time) but gained content on 8 July 2021 (about 2 weeks before the games started), 2016 Summer Olympics medal table was created in 2010 (definitely too early, it was nominated for speedy deletion, which was correctly declined, but should have been brought here) it gained content when the first medal was won, 2012 Summer Olympics medal table was created in February 2012 and gained content the day before the games started. 2008 Summer Olympics medal table was created in December 2007, prodded (and then forgotten about?), redirected in May 2008 and became a content page 2 weeks before the opening ceremony. 2004 Summer Olympics medal table was split off from the main 2004 Olympics article on the second day of the games, these were the first Summer Olympics after Wikipedia was founded.

With the exceptions of Zelda 1 and Zelda 2, none of the The Legend of Zelda games have used numbers in their titles. I mean, I get it, the numbers are supposed to represent the order in which they were released, but such an association on Wikipedia is the equivalent of a WP:NOTFANDOM issue. There are several complications with this nomenclature:

• This is not the only "Zelda" topic on Wikipedia
• There are Zelda games that are not included in this order which, arguably, could be, such as:
  • Hyrule Warriors
  • Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
  • The games listed in the articles Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure
  • The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (though this one is probably an oversight as Zelda 21 doesn't exist yet)
  • The multiple remakes of these games
• The current target of Zelda 9 is partially a remake of the current target of Zelda 3
• Someone could be looking up these titles to determine the chronological order of these games' storylines and well ... that's a can of worms that no one can pull apart into a canon-like substance

At the minimum, the numbering gets ambiguous after Zelda 7: Zelda 7 and Zelda 8 both target The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, but a reader could assume that both games represent "Zelda 7" and the "8th" title is whatever Zelda 9 currently points to.

With all this being said, my official vote is delete all with the alternative of weak delete all titles from Zelda 8 to Zelda 20. Steel1943 (talk) 14:41, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

will partially object to the justification for zelda 9, as despite the fire emblem franchise not using numbers either (hell, heroes could be a mainline installment for all we know) the "11nd" and "12rd" installments are remakes. will still vote to delete them all as that would require knowing what a mainline zelda game even is (and why the cd-i games don't count while spirit tracks does), and no one seems to use those wacky numbers... ever, really cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 15:57, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The CD-i games don't count because Nintendo had no involvement in them other than licencing out the property to Phillips as a consolation for mothballing the SNES CD add-on they were working on. The other partner they went with took their ball elsewhere when Nintendo saw the Mega CD bomb. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 18:45, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just because Zelda 16 or Zelda 20 might be implausible, doesn't mean we should throw everything out in between, and Super Goku V points out that some of the earlier numbers in this lineage have been used as real alternative names back when the first couple games in the numbering-scheme were more timely.

• Keep "Zelda III" but only in Roman Numeral form, but Delete the rest, including "Zelda 3" in Arabic Numeral form. This is because A Link to the Past was initially planned for the NES as "Zelda III" but was moved onto the Super Nintendo, as A Link to the Past, relatively early in its development. The game itself references this, in the English translation, where "The Lake of Ill Omen" is a visual pun between the word "Ill" and the Roman Numeral III. Other than that, we can delete the rest of them. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 23:24, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep 3/4/5/III/IV/V, delete the rest, based on Super Goku V's findings. First few are plausible, rest look like ambiguous WP:OR and are unlikely to be of real use. BugGhost🦗👻 12:48, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• First try → Peter Oakley#Telling It All  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

This is the name of a Youtube introductory video, before a 5-10 minute documentary. In any case, "first try"s are an incredibly broad concept and should not be limited to this specific circumstance, as it could also be in reference to "try"ing someone the first time, via legal systems, or just trying something new. We have no substantive content about Oakley's "introductory video" for incoming searchers, so it'd be best to rid of this totally WP:SURPRISEing redirect.

i'd say nag politely ask someone on wiktionary to see if an entry could be written, and soft redirect to that. if that's not an option, just delete and call it a day cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 16:01, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Young human → Child  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

This redirect is barely a week old, similarly to an infant (which is also a valid target). "Young" is an incredibly vague term, and should not be locked into a redirect. A young adult is also a young human, as is a teenager. People looking for the article on "child" would just use that incredibly-natural term. Wikipedia redirects should not be guesswork; let search engines do their job with this. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 12:15, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete because why not Baby, Toddler, or Teenager? Steel1943 (talk) 18:07, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete for lack of a good target. Template:Human growth and development sidebar has a nice list of stages, but all of Infant, Toddler, Child, Preadolescent, Adolescent, Emerging adulthood and early adulthood and Young adult are unquestionably relevant (and Embryo, Fetus and Middle adult could be argued). A navbox template can sometimes make a good target for a redirect, but the sidebox form factor doesn't lend itself to this purpose. The closest thing to an article space page that lists all the options I can find is Child development stages (which covers infancy to seventeen years old) but that's going to be increasingly surprising and less useful for those thinking of "young" as meaning something other than "child". I don't think a dab page is viable given the ambiguity, so I'm left at delete. Thryduulf (talk) 18:46, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• This woman is my destiny → Shut Up and Dance (Walk the Moon song)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

No mention of this lyric at the target article; people who specify this lyric instead of typing in "shut up and dance" (which is the vastly known name of this song), are likely looking for specific information related to the lyric, which does not appear anywhere at the target page. We don't point lyric redirects to the songs they came from, unless its a source that describes the lyric. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 12:08, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Postman (The Legend of Zelda series) → List of The Legend of Zelda characters#Postman  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ]

There was a section for it when the redirect was created. It's linked to at Postman (disambiguation) under MOS:DABREDIR. If the character isn't notable – I have no opinion on it – the dab entry should also be removed. Nick Number (talk) 13:55, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Category:Dionysus in Greek mythology → Category:Mythology of Dionysus  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Unneeded soft redirect from an unlikely search term. What other mythology would Dionysus appear in? This redirect was created shortly before its target (which used to be Category:Dionysus in mythology). Mclay1 (talk) 11:21, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

keep. osiris isn't really a recurring character in shinto lore, but people will still specify that he's from egyptian mythology. same goes for dionysus in greek mythology, give or take the roman dub changing everyone's names (except his, apparently), so i think it's a pretty plausible case of "just in case" or alternative spelling cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 15:54, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You would specify Osiris is from Egyptian mythology when explaining what Osiris is, but you wouldn't need a subcat of Category:Osiris called Category:Osiris in Egyptian mythology because that's what the main category is already for. This redirect is very unlikely to aid navigation. (See Wikipedia:Category redirects that should be kept.) Mclay1 (talk) 15:34, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are rare situations where a soft redirect is needed, this isn't one of them. Gonnym (talk) 11:19, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dionysus is technically a Latin/Latinised name of the god (Dionysos), but we don't have a category or separate article for the Roman Bacchus, so this is essentially a redirect from a more restrictive name, which I don't think is needed. 1234qwer1234qwer4 13:29, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. It seems a bit of a stretch to redirect Dionysus in Greek mythology to Mythology of Dionysus, and (1) these are categories, where there's much less need for redirects, and (2) since neither one of them exists as a mainspace title, it seems even more unnecessary to have them in categoryspace.
