The result of the discussion was Retarget to Sixth generation--Salix (talk): 11:43, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why would the generic redirect of '6th gen' be tied to the context of video games? I will open this discussion first, but '7th gen' and '8th gen' redirects were also created. I don't believe this is an appropriate redirect and I didn't see a speedy category that would fit. -- ferret (talk) 20:44, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing else called Sixth generation. I mean sixth generation ALONE.--

Correct. But there's hundreds of articles covering "sixth generation" of other contexts. The 6th generation of a car, or a family line, iPods, the Sixth Generation film movement, etc, etc. Just type "sixth generation" in the search box above to see several articles that come up before the History of Video Gaming. -- ferret (talk) 20:52, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
One a related note I've dealt with the 7th gen redirect and retargeted to the dab page Seventh Generation but I could not find anything for the 6th or 8th gen pages.--69.159.111.241 (talk) 01:52, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - There are an endless number of "6th generations" out there, as Ferret says. There's no reason to automatically link this redirect to video games. Sergecross73 msg me 21:44, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete there are lots of 6th gen things, like 6th generation of descendents. 70.49.124.157 (talk) 08:14, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Too general/vague; doesn't seem to be a good disambiguation page candidate. --Cybercobra (talk) 08:43, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Sixth generation, which I just created, unaware of this discussion (or this redirect).—Ketil Trout (<><!) 19:56, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Sixth generation per Ketiltrout.--Lenticel (talk) 02:45, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Sixth generation with a specific notice on the target's talk page that this one should follow its fate. As the good target already exists, no sense in deleting. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 00:53, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Internet memes which don't merit enough notability to be mentioned on their target articles. We don't need redirects from internet memes to these articles. If we did, these articles would have hundreds of redirects for no substantial reason. — Moe ε 17:24, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
