not create some new [[Filibert Bolger]].
Redirects to lists for items not on lists is not uncommon - it usually
means we've had the merger in the past and now that section's been
wiped.
Incidentally, many many redirects to a person can easily occur with
authors - quite often, as a makeshift, book titles get redirected to
their writer's article. Take a prolific author, add the four or five
permutations for a book title, those can rack up fast...
