This has been edit warred through multiple different deletion and ATD processes, so it seems like the time for AfD has arrived. The stub has been unsourced for over a decade, and while it nominally meets the (very lenient) SNG WP:NTV (n.b. the show was aired on a pay TV channel; while this isn't addressed explicitly in the SNG, it does limit the show's audience), I wasn't able to find any coverage in secondary sources online in an internet search (there were quite a few false positives for monster truck events with the same title, but that did not make any mention of a TV show). All told, I think that restoring the redirect to Outdoor Channel where it is listed is appropriate. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 22:37, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Don't redirect - no opinion on deletion, but I don't think a redirect is appropriate as there is merely a mention (and currently the only link to Monsters of Destruction from an article) with no information. The search function will be enough to find Outdoor Channel. A7V2 (talk) 05:05, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above and WP:COSTLY. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 19:59, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - Thanks Rosguill for the background on this. I disagree with the no redirect sentiment because Outdoor Channel does not appear in the first page of search results when searching for this title.

What good would a redirect do? There is no information whatsoever about this show on Outdoor Channel, unless you are proposing a merge? A7V2 (talk) 11:52, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A7V2, there is a mention there, Outdoor Channel doesn't come up readily in a WP search of this title and WP:CHEAP ~Kvng (talk) 15:57, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kvng: I never said there was no mention. I said there is no information. WP:CHEAP is not relevant if, I believe, the redirect is less than helpful. Someone searching for "Monsters of Destruction" and reaching Outdoor Channel will be left confused and/or disappointed, especially since the name appears to be used by other entities which don't have articles, eg [1]. A7V2 (talk) 03:55, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A7V2, the fact that it is mentioned is information. It tells readers that the term they're searching is the name of a show that aired on Outdoor Channel. ~Kvng (talk) 15:35, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete - does not meet notability criteria. Redirect as ATD would also be acceptable. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 03:34, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
