:The page is too much of an essay to make it to guideline status without radical rewriting. It's probably best to just mark it as {{tl|rejected}} or {{tl|historical}}, or better as {{tl|essay}}, and to start [[Commons:Category redirects]] as a new draft focussed on when to use and when not to use soft redirects (with only a brief mention of hard redirects - it's not necessary to go into detail).

::Yes, that seems the way forward. There's a lot of opinion in this page that would need to be thrown out and the title isn't right either. However, if this is marked as an essay then I think a guideline elsewhere to define "necessary" will be needed. The role of this page would then by either background info, or a supporting/dissenting essay, but has nothing to do with the actual guidance.--[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] ([[User talk:Nilfanion|talk]]) 11:06, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
