[edit] Requested move

The result of the debate was Not moved: Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. It could at some point warrant moving, but after it has been released under this name (it could change), and after it has approached being as common as this current meaning. —Centrx→talk • 05:17, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Virtual console → Virtual console (computer user-interface) – With Nintendo's upcoming system Wii the term Virtual Console is starting to associated that term with Wii since it will have a download service with that name. Virtual Console should be a disambiuation page with links to both articles. TJ Spyke 02:43, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Survey
- Oppose: common nouns such as Virtual console shouldn't be moved because of new product names - the disambiguation at top is enough TuukkaH 12:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- Support The term "Virtual Console" will become just as associated with(if not more so than) with the Wii. Edgecution 07:55, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] renaming this page
Why does searching for Virtual Console not go to the Wii's virtual console page anymore? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.134.78.151 (talk) 06:15, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure that more people search for the Wii Virtual Console, myself included and end up clicking on the redirect page, especially considering the amount of sales the Wii is having, and searching for the Linux related term would only appeal to a tiny portion of people searching the term. It would be far more logical to have a search for 'virtual console' go to the Wii page and the disambiguation link to be on the top of that page rather than the way it currently is, and for this page to be renamed 'Virtual Console (PC)' or 'Linux Virtual Console' - Neal 80.7.73.24 (talk) 14:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not opposed to moving the original article to Virtual console (PC), but I do question if this redirect should be to Virtual Console. I'm not sure that either topic is signifigantly more notable than the other. (Personally, I came to this link expecting to see the PC article and even as a Wii owner, I completely forgot there system was called "Virtual Console"...kinda crummy generic name for it, huh? oh well) I'll have to refresh my guideline knowledge, but perhaps this should become a disambiguation page...I'll come back to this later. -Verdatum (talk) 22:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
