why a redirect?

Why is this (draft) task being re-directed to a different task?

It is not a duplicate. Anybody can see that the requirements and outputs of the two tasks are vastly different.

The task Digital root/Multiplicative digital root is a different task with substantially and significant different task requirements. -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 20:39, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

While it might be true to say that mdr loops while>9, that is not exactly a "substantial" difference (in terms of comparing languages) and hence this does not deserve to be a separate task on rc. Vote for deletion, have removed my Phix entry. --Pete Lomax (talk) 22:06, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

I took a re-look at my REXX entry (and other language entries) for multiplicative digital root, and in my opinion, there is enough of a difference in most programming languages to deserve so as to justify a separate task. The simpler the task, the easier it is to view the comparisons of the various computer programming languages. There are a lot other Rosetta Code tasks that are far more simpler and/or similar. The various forms of do loops for instance (that's just my opinion, but I recognize that each small nuance/difference is noteworthy as per each computer language entry). But I don't see the need for deletion because someone labels it a duplicate. I certainly don't want to argue about defining what is a substantial difference between Rosetta Code tasks. I suppose it's matter of who decides if a Rosetta Code (draft) task is worthy of being kept (or re-directed without a discussion). I also recognize there is a lot here to this particular situation then meets the eye. And I certainly don't want to be the judge if the REXX entry for MDR is way to similar (or not similar) to the REXX entry that was just entered for this Rosetta Code (draft) task. From my viewpoint, the two REXX entries for the two different Rosetta Code tasks aren't really comparable (as per code similarities and objectives). Other computer programming language entries, however, may look more alike to each other, depending on the computer language's semantic sugar. If you don't want to enter a programming language entry for a Rosetta Code task, vote with your feet (just don't create an entry, let someone else write one). -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 03:07, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
