For example, in a situation where Flashpoint affecting GL-verse leads to all GL characters ultimately having a distinct NE and PE page (regardless of importance, similarity, etc.), having  a temporary redirect to the NE page is pointless and sorta misleading : people don't necessarily check if the link is a placeholder or not. They might also assume it means those characters don't need a distinct page (which is how I personally took character pages with several universes, I wasn't aware some of them only served as placeholders) So it reduces the chance of someone creating a PE character page compared to a red link. I only see the point if it serves as a placeholder until they're big enough or different enough or something, like Tupka said in his first reply, because in that situation, there's also the probability they'll never need a separate page.
