Am I wrong to think that deleting valid articles and redirects based on who the creator was is nonsensical and against what we're trying to achieve?
Who the creator was can make a difference - when clearing the work of vandals, often admins just zap the lot - it means someone coming through later after the same vandal won't spot them. Usually someone (hopefully the deleting admin) should remake the link so it carries the endorsement of a good editor.
Speedy deletion errors should be correctable by speedy deletion cleanup patrol with no rancor on either side - first admin through to clean up the firehose of crap, second to correct the inevitable human error.
