Redirect was deleted by User:Kusma from [[Schachter]] to [[Schechter]]. A valid redirect: the latter article is about a German surname which may be spelt Schachter (the in-text title of the article is, in fact, Schachter).
After a little digging I found out the only reason he had deleted this important redirect is because "[p]ages created by banned users while they were banned" is a reason to speedily delete.
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?

If it's an occasional mistake, cut some slack (check history to see if he was doing cleanup) . If it wasn't, then it's process-for-the-process-sake-wonkery-wonkery-willy-wonka kinda guy and should be sent to room 101
