Also there are links from external sites and personal bookmarks. Maybe 
nothing links Zimbabwe/History, but there's at least one link to 
Zimbabwe/Geography at this page:
   http://www.geometry.net/basic_z/zimbabwe_geography.php

How would it help our project if people follow links to what they are 
told are articles only to find "Describe the text of the new page here."?

Do not delete redirects just because you find them un-aesthetic.
