The result of the discussion was retargettoFlight of the Conchords#Appearances. Consensus was unanimous here that retargeting to the broader Flight of the Conchords topic was preferable to deletion. Though not mentioned exactly, as noted by the nom, it's mentioned as Live In London (an alternative name), as AngusWOOF noted. I've refined the target to the section where it is mentioned, and added applicable rcats. Anyone may feel free to add additional, or alter any of the, rcats boldly post-close.

Not mentioned at the target. An internet search would suggest that Hamilton directed a film titled Flight of the Conchords: Live in London, but not by the name of the redirect. I would suggest deletion. signed, Rosguilltalk 21:48, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. The term does appear in a bunch of popular media when characters are trying to avoid saying "zombie". But I don't think any article on WP actually mentions this as it is a trivial fact.

Delete. IDK if this is a notable genre or not. If it is, write the article; at least in Portuguese, because there isn't one; although a few articles in Portuguese WP do mention Brazilian Bass. I agree with nom that redirecting from a genre (with "multiple articles") to one song is useless. Alok (DJ) and Chris Leão also mention Brazilian Bass, so a redirect to just one song looks wholly inappropriate.

I agree with you guys that redirecting a music genre to a specific song makes no sense. I was never the one to do that. I don't know why that's happened.

Narky Blert Retargeting would only be helpful if this redirect was showing any usage. What likely happened here is two substantially similar templates got merged at TfD, and they don't automatically delete the trailing redirects even after substituting and orphaning them. They leave that for RfD to cleanup, if and when someone nominates it. So, I really look at the transclusion count to see whether or not it's got any usage as I find that's the most helpful. See also Template:RFL and Template:Rfl, which were short-hand redirects for Template:Reflist, which both closed as "delete" at TfD and RfD respectively. --Doug MehusT·C 14:53, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm conflicted. Per WP:RNEUTRAL if a non-neutral term is sufficiently "established" then it should be redirected to a neutral article. This aids readers who may indeed have non-neutral search queries. But this rational doesn't make sense to me in template-space, since readers hardly ever search for templates. This redirect is almost certainly useless -- no links, transclusions, and almost no pageviews. But I'm not sure this is sufficient to delete it. BenKuykendall (talk) 04:43, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
BenKuykendall No, it's entirely the reason to delete it. Templates are different than articles, where redirects are helpful. If there is active usage for a short-hand or other redirect to a template, then it should be kept, and we could add applicable rcats as necessary. Sometimes with templates that say, "never transclude," it's hard to tell whether or not it's being used, but in this case, it's entirely a transclude-able navbox template redirect, so we can tell exactly how to use it. You were on the right track. Doug MehusT·C 14:57, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Zero transclusions, which passes my criteria for deleting redirects to templates. It simply has zero usage.

Delete - Not enough sourcing for a redirect with a loaded word. Jdcomix (talk) 16:17, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment These are all interesting arguments for deleting or keeping, but the strongest argument is that it is simply unused. As an entirely transcluded template, this redirect has no transclusions. Personally, I think we should have a larger conversation at the village pump about instructing TfD to delete the trailing redirect when the result is "merge" or "redirect." The redirect should only be kept when (a) there is significant history worth keeping, but even then, there are other history merge options that can be explored or (b) it hasn't been orphaned and there are remaining transclusions. Doug MehusT·C 16:25, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - A great deal of people clearly perceive Trump's general business operation as an "empire", but that's not precisely the issue here. As stated above, this isn't about articles.

The result of the discussion was speedy keep. Early closure, per WP:SNOW, with thanks to Narky Blert et al. and others for explaining the purpose of having redirects with the (disambiguation) parenthetical qualifier to dab pages without them to Connor Behan. Essentially, Connor, there are times when one needs to link to the dab page (especially in hatnotes or on dab pages themselves), but linking to the dab page directly without the piping will cause it to show up on an error report and DPLbot will notify you via your talk page to update to a piped link. The reason for DPLbot's existence is because we don't want to have people click through to a dab page, from a wikilink in an article, where's no clear, primary topic. Hope that makes sense. If not, ask via my talk page, Narky's talk page, or at The Teahouse. (non-admin closure)Doug MehusT·C 19:55, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. Redirects to DAB pages through the (disambiguation) qualifier are required by WP:INTDAB. That includes redirects from variant spellings such as these. Narky Blert (talk) 00:39, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep These are all plausible search terms and are very relevant to the targeted pages. Hog Farm (talk) 05:00, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'll take this chance to learn about different Wikipedia habits. Do people actually search for "X (disambiguation)"? Every time I've needed to go to such a page, it has been enough just to type "X". Connor Behan (talk) 14:22, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Connor Behan:. I imagine that some readers may go through the (disambiguation) qualifier, but the principal purpose of those redirects is the one explained in WP:INTDAB: to tell bots (notably User:DPL bot) that a link to a DAB page is intentional and not an error. Variants (spelling, capitalisation, etc.) can be useful in making a link in e.g. a hatnote or a see-also look more natural in any given article. Also, WP:CHEAP applies. Narky Blert (talk) 15:28, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, so the idea is that if linking to these disambiguation pages becomes popular, people will save time typing See also [[Epsidoe 1 (disambiguation)]] instead of See also [[Episode I (disambiguation)|Episode 1 (disambiguation)]]. Connor Behan (talk) 21:14, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Connor Behan: I'd put it a slightly different way. A reader types XYZ One into the searchbox, and finds themself looking at an article about a TV station with that name. If there's a hatnote saying "For other uses, see XYZ 1 (disambiguation)", a natural reaction would be: Why the hell should I? I'm reading about the name I typed in! On the other hand, a hatnote saying "For other uses, see XYZ One (disambiguation)" might alert them to the fact that they might not be reading the article they were looking for! Narky Blert (talk) 23:33, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, my point was that the top of the page can display "XYZ One (disambiguation)" even when only "XYZ 1 (disambiguation)" exists. The benefit of having both, IMO, is simply that editors don't have to remember to keep typing the pipe. Connor Behan (talk) 01:11, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
