The resource implications of redirects are apparently small. Using many

RFD is the [[$100 Hamburger]] of Wiki-process junkies, especially those ones who fail the learning curve of AFD and CFD (or have been banned from their local bingo hall).
Except for dignity in isolated cases (where a redirect is implausible, misleading, offensive, or whatever), nothing is gained from "deleting" it (not even the bytes of disk space it still occupies, whether it's deleted or not).
In the real world, talk is cheaper than action. Wikipedia is different.

Wow, I just checked out RFD and you're totally right. There are people arguing to delete Svensk -> Swedish, and yet arguing to keep Assburger -> Asperger's Syndrome!
