Redirect to believe one's eyes. These negative phrases are problematic. DonnanZ (talk) 09:55, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Keep or redirect, idiomatic. Drapetomanic (talk) 10:29, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

The Japanese translation is positive ("to doubt one's eyes") so it fits more comfortably here. Drapetomanic (talk) 10:40, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Redirect or delete. PUC – 12:15, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

• Delete or hard redirect as SoP (unable to + believe one's eyes). — excarnateSojourner (talk · contrib) 22:47, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

I agree with redirect to a more atomic form. - TheDaveRoss 12:40, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Delete. Doesn't even deserve the redirect, when "be" is present. Compare "he seemed unable to believe his eyes". No need for "be" verb. Equinox ◑ 01:36, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Redirected. PUC – 12:46, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
