Good enough software → Principle of good enough (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Apparently only used to promote a

Keep Unless I've misunderstood, the promoting part aside, that sounds like a problem with the article and not the redirect. How does this redirect "promote" the target, it looks like nothing other then a perfectly plausible redirect to me. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 06:50, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - seems like anyone searching for this term is looking for the article they get directed to. Wily D 09:35, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to the dab Pepsi Arena, which includes "Pepsi Coliseum" uses as well (though a split might be a good idea there). --BDD (talk) 17:17, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At 14:33, 8 February 2014‎ I obeyed a request to history-merge
Kai Perambalur to Kaiperambalur. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:39, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply

Yes, a user moved
histmerge}}. Today, it turned out that it had been moved to Wikipedia:Kaiperambalur
again, this time as a copy & paste move. I do not see why anyone would look for an article about a location like this in the Wikipedia namespace, so I don't think that a redirect from there is needed. It is true that the article was in the Wikipedia namespace for a couple of days, but there were probably not many who noticed this.

There was also an additional change from

These redirects are speculative and subject to
WP:CRYSTAL. Wikipedia is not a source for speculation, and we don't know if there will be any next generation consoles ("next generation" referring to the generation following the current). See also the RFD for "Next gen consoles". Hey mid (contribs) 13:49, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply

~~Keep~~Retarget/Delete/Neutral ~~Keep~~retarget the first one to
WP:CRYSTAL knowledge that the next Xbox will be called Xbox and will exist. However, new videogame consoles are always being produced, so the first one isn't very crystal, since we should be able to find sourced material to support some new iteration of something. -- 70.24.244.161 (talk) 07:53, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply

My point is, we don't know about the future. For example, we don't know whether Sony is currently working on a new console, a PlayStation 5, and/or a new handheld etc. I believe it's not Wikipedia's duty to speculate about the future. I also feel that the term "next generation" is too subjective; some refer to it as the current generation of consoles (the eighth), others refer to it as the future generation of consoles (the ninth). Hey mid (contribs) 09:04, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The right place to point "next generation" and "comparison" would be History of video games. Whatever someone's subjective view of what next generation means, it'll be part of that article. Whether the next gen is PS4 or next revision Ouya, it's part of the history of videogaming. Sorry about being unclear as to what I was meaning on the first redirect. -- 70.24.244.161 (talk) 12:05, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per previous outcome of Next gen consoles. --BDD (talk) 17:17, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Page titles with "next" or "upcoming" in are never a good idea as inevitably they will soon become out-of-date. 5.70.112.176 (talk) 22:45, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
