Let us keep pushing brand new coins onto the exchange. I mean why not, coins are created just for trading; seems like it.

Without the coins being listed on major exchanges, it's difficult for a lot of people to gamble on mining it (they can calculate a rough estimate of the value...but not much beyond that.)
I'm spending $2000+ each month on power mining currencies...and it's easier to calculate a rough ROI when a currency is being actively traded on exchanges. Also, I like to trickle some out there to help pay the bills. It's an important part of investing in digital currencies.
Are you trying to say all of these coins are too new to be listed? Or are you trying to make a case for RED? I'm confused as to what point you are trying to make.
If there is a demand, stability, high enough projected volume, and the coins had legitimate launches, I don't understand an argument against them being listed.
I was making a case for the length of time lately that certain coins have not even came close to. I feel that a coin needs a few services running, like block explorers, pools, info pages, etc. Some of the coins listed in the above list fail on multiple categories and should not be trying to get on "the list." On the other hand, I do believe that there are many coins that had all of these services at the start but were still worthless, and should never see an exchange; pre-mines, false promises, have "for science" in the name, etc. Other concerns can include, do these coins have a purpose other than a clever name or algo. Just my opinion on a murky subject, of course the early adopters and devs want to see value from their work, I also would like to see a couple of coins on the exchange that have not made it yet.
Star coin
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2762216 No block explorer, website doesn't work, Released on low traffic forum with no notice, etc.
Philosopher's stone
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2818349 No Block explorer, no purpose other than to generate interest with POS.
Red Coin
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2616494 Surprisingly seems like a viable candidate considering it is already being exchanged on another site. 1mil premine
Elephant Coin
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2732415 Has some different aspects, but still doesn't have a use other than to mine and exchange for other coins. Also live on the same exchange as Red coin. 1.36 Mil premine
So if you don't mind a pre-mine or lack of services all of the above coins will fit.
