. I'm not convinced by the below that even the passing mention in the target would remain, much less of the utility of these themselves. Just for the record, I want to link to the 2008 AfD that created at least one of these: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Davos Question ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:02, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Delete. The term "Davos Question" is not discussed at all on the {{oldid|World Economic Forum|850240896|World Economic Forum}} page. After much research I found that these redirects were created in 2008 following an AfD discussion in which the article was deleted, but it seems that whatever meaning this "Davos question" had in 2008 seems to have become anecdotal, at best, with time.

:Comment: The last article content in Davos Question, from January 2008 was: {{green|Davos Question is a question from the World Economic Forum that has been answered on YouTube by many video posts. "What one thing do you think that countries, companies or individuals must do to make the world a better place in 2008?"}} This text was followed by a See Also to World Economic Forum.

- Delete - It appears that its a better idea to just let people use the search engine. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 22:15, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
- Strong delete because of the above comments but also because I'm concerned that people will think it somehow refers to Betsy De Vos. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 22:41, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
- :What a bizarre argument, especially to have such "strength" behind it. This isn't De Vos question, and there is no evidence of that being a notable phrase associated with her. -- Tavix (talk) 13:55, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

- Comment - It is a legitimate thing, [http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/01/10/davos.question/ see this CNN article]. I suggest adding a brief sentence about it somewhere within the article, along with that source, and redirecting this to the corresponding section. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 18:09, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
- : This is a 2008 article... water has flown since then, and it is such a generic question that I doubt it has ever been referred to as "The Davos Question" since then and be understood out of context. Place Clichy (talk) 10:07, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
- Weak delete, per nom: the topic seems to be something that was discussed for a short while in 2008, but which has had no lasting impact. Google Books and Scholar turn up relatively few results, most of which are not referring to the same topic. It might be possible to add a mention to the target article, but I'm not sure where it would fit or whether the topic is significant enough, with a decade of hindsight, to be worth mentioning. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 22:35, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
- Prefer Godsy's approach. Better to explain what it means than to leave it red. It's not going to ever be its own article, but readers who encounter the term it are apt to want an explanation. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 17:11, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
- : Better leave it black than leave it red. Actually, the only mention of "Davos question" in the main namespace is a ref in this article about an interview in a Youtube channel with the same name. I do not think the 2008 question has the notability worthy of attracting links at all. And I don't think it is even notable enough to be mentioned in the World Economic Forum article, which in turn eliminates any worth of pointing a redirect there.
