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. --

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. --

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.

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. —

You have to be joking. Forever alone is actually the stupidest of those redirects. Where on the internet is "Forever alone" actually a phrase having to do with
Involuntary celibacy? One reliable source to prove that and I'll drop this entire RFD. I say that in full confidence of you not being able to prove anything. This isn't about redirects being cheap, this is about people who have nothing better to do creating unnotable articles about memes then having them all get redirected to these target articles. Like I said, we don't need every meme the internet has redirecting to these articles, that isn't what they are for. —

Delete the lot - I'm not convinced any of these are particularly useful redirects, as none of them are mentioned in their target articles in any case.

Keep selectively.
Forever alone has 16M google hits and it looks like there would be enough material for an article. Redirecting to
internet meme seems a better target as its more about the meme that about the target.
IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZOR has 168,000 google hits and there is considerable coverage with a page discussing its history
[1] which seems to date back to 2007. I can see that kids will type this sort of thing into a search box, just to see what happens, they may even get some education if they read
Internet meme. Its looking like most of these have considerable internet prescence. Less convinced by
John McCain and His Vegetable Friends which does not appear to have much online commentary, just a fairly popular youtube video. --
