Newish account has undone this redirect twice. Now it's an unnecessary glorified disambiguation page. There's is no standalone notability for the developer and the 2017 video game Hollow Knight is a more suitable redirect. Its sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, is still unreleased. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 20:24, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Hollow Knight. What I can find around Team Cherry is all related to them developing the game. Masem (t) 01:20, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (since Team Cherry already exists) and WP:SALT. They are not notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:15, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, I've edited Team Cherry to link to the relevant articles. "and its sequel" might also work there imo. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 08:09, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as redundant to the existing DAB page. I don't see how this would be useful as a redirect, and while it's true that they are primarily known as the developers of Hollow Knight, most current discourse is focused on Silksong, which makes choosing a single target difficult. Toadspike [Talk] 13:30, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt. This has been created off and on for several years. Flibirigit (talk) 21:06, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Hollow Knight as a plausible company name redirect, maybe to the Development section with slight additions of its basic information to count as a subtopic. MimirIsSmart (talk) 05:00, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Hollow Knight. as it does seem to make more logical sense. As the developers are known by the games they developed.Villkomoses (talk) 16:09, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Hollow Knight but oppose SALTing: the article could be opened in the near future assuming Silksong gains them further fame and more publications directly cover the developer. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 10:58, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The article basically had almost no content. If a notable draft is created in the future, it can be unsalted. But with how private Team Cherry is, any "opening up" is highly speculative. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:07, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to ~~Hollow Knight~~ Team Cherry, protect the page if the redirect gets removed again

Edit: Better to redirect it to the disambiguation page ApexParagon (talk) 03:21, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Come on, folks. We can't redirect this to Hollow Knight while we have a dab page at Team Cherry that points readers to another article. That's nonsense. -- asilvering (talk) 07:39, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per Asilvering we cannot redirect to Hollow Knight given the Team Cherry mention. Agnieszka653 (talk) 16:43, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The “(developer)” prefix at the end signifies that it’s referring to the video game developer rather than the ice hockey team. I think a redirect to Hollow Knight would be appropriate in this instance ApexParagon (talk) 16:52, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly, it's the developer. But note that at the dab page we are pointing readers to two different articles, if they're looking for info about that developer. It doesn't make any sense to have the dab give readers different info than this redirect. -- asilvering (talk) 17:27, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Better idea. Just redirect it to the disambiguation page Team Cherry ApexParagon (talk) 17:37, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Hollow Knight. Since the two links on the disambiguation page refer to installments in the same franchise, the best practice would be to point this link to the introductory installment for that franchise. BD2412 T 19:24, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
