Grand Touring[edit]

No notability, almost nothing is actually contained in the article. However, this edit replaced a redirect to Grand tourer which is used in several articles, and should it be deleted, the redirect should be recreated. The359 (talk) 00:02, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. A stub would be fine if it said something more than "Xgame is a game by Ycompany", but that's all this article says. VG ☎ 01:55, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm not sure why you chose AfD over taking steps yourself. If you check articles that link the article, almost all are in context with Grand tourer. Plus the article is almost inactive. I think you should restore the redirect, and see if it is contested. Even if it is, I'd suggest you ask such editor to create Grand Touring (video game) (provided of course it fulfills necessary notabilty), since the redirect usage is clearly prevalent. ^LeaveSleaves _talk 02:03, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I chose AfD because I did not simply want to revert the article back to the redirect without some discussion. The359 (talk) 07:45, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Elite Systems. Sounds like a rational thing to do in this case. MuZemike (talk) 04:10, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect for now: I don't think a deletion is necessary. A redirect would put it at the software maker's article, and if someone feels like adding to the article, they could undo the redirect instead of a recreation. ^Law_shoot! 04:45, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Do not redirect to Elite that's not even close to the primary meaning. Restore old redirect to Grand tourer or create a dab page instead. 70.55.86.100 (talk) 05:10, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment the suggestion is to redirect it to Elite Systems. JJL (talk) 05:19, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment Which redirect would make more sense, grand tourer or Elite Systems? How popular was the game? The359 (talk) 07:45, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment could always make it a dab, mentioning both Grand Tourer and Elite Systems? JJL (talk) 14:28, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - Comment A DAB makes sense to me, as Grand Touring would seem more commonly known as an alternative to Grand Tourer than it would be known in reference to this video game. The359 (talk) 23:03, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
