The resource implications of redirects are

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
