All of the above redirects were merged to Gaia (Final Fantasy VII)#Geography in 2007. That article was then redirected to Compilation of Final Fantasy VII following an AfD in 2013. I'm not clear if any content was merged, but the Compilation article no longer contains such lists, and I don't see any other good targets for these titles.
Note that two of the above redirects ({{-r|List of Final Fantasy VII locations}} and {{-r|List of Final Fantasy VII terms}}) have non-trivial edit history. We may need to preserve those edit histories somewhere for WP:ATTREQ purposes. However, we do not need to locate them at titles which promise content that Wikipedia does not deliver; they can be moved elsewhere. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 17:47, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
- Redirect terms to Final Fantasy VII#Gameplay which is the original game and the most likely target for such inquiries. The locations one can stay at the Compilation article where it is described in Setting. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:51, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
- Compilation of Final Fantasy VII#Setting mentions two locations (three, if you count "The Planet") in prose. Real stretch to call that a "list". 59.149.124.29 (talk) 02:32, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. With no such lists, these are bound to disappoint readers. WP:NOTWIKIA is relevant. --BDD (talk) 17:40, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- Delete Final Fantasy VII terms and List of Final Fantasy VII Locations, as someone who searches for them, while they might find some relevant information, will have to root around for it and won't find in the form they'd expect based on the redirect. I don't think redirects beginning with "List of" have to point to lists or list-like content, but in this case the relevant information is both quite dispersed and quite minimal. Don't keep List of Final Fantasy VII terms and List of Final Fantasy VII locations – the same reasoning applies, but presumably a solution other than deletion will have to be found to resolve the attribution issue. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:31, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
Relisting comment: {{ping|AngusWOOF|BDD|Arms & Hearts}} The consensus so far seems to be "don't keep but beware of the page history". Would a WP:HISTMERGE into the page history of Gaia (Final Fantasy VII), without leaving redirects at the current titles, be an acceptable solution to all?

No, because parallel histories should not be merged, as doing so leaves a mess. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 18:59, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
- {{ping|Deryck Chan}} I don't really understand history merges, how they work or their effects (hence my vagueness in my !vote), so I would defer to anybody more clued-up than me on those matters. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 22:12, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
- That's mostly ok with me, though with only a single mention at the target page, "Gaia" doesn't seem very solid, and could easily end up at RfD one day if the page contents change. --BDD (talk) 23:35, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
- Delete all per BDD. There are no attribution issues at play here because there is no surviving content from these lists anywhere on Wikipedia. It's true that some merging took place from these lists into Gaia (Final Fantasy VII), but nothing from these lists survived the 2013 AfD. It was a straight redirect, not a merge. -- Tavix (talk) 16:56, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
- Move: move pages with attribution to talk subpages of Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, like Talk:Compilation of Final Fantasy VII/List of Final Fantasy VII terms. Yes the content of {{noredirect87 02:43, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
- And probably move the talk pages like [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_Final_Fantasy_VII_terms&oldid=81805974 this one] while we're there. I found this RFD through a message at Wikipedia talk:Administrators' guide/Fixing cut-and-paste moves. Graham87 02:47, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
