WARNING: topic drift
Without claiming that we should or should not have such a entry in those articles, I have for a long time been interested in looking through the DB dump for redirects to pages that do not contain the term being redirected to them, or something close. Its the "or something close" and the fact that some times this is probably "ok" that makes it hard to just do this. In any event I have frequently come across very bad redirects, some of them POV some of them I think people did just to avoid having a red link. Is there any sort of redirect auditing being done? I can't say I know of a good way to go about it efficiently but its is worth thinking about.

Not on a regular basis, but as you find them, fix them. Nothing wrong with a red link if there is no article on the subject.
