RFD? Sounds to me like a convention of UFO fanboys. Terrifying! Redirects are useful. If you see a really silly one, nuke it. Why should RFD
even exist?
To give people a page to feel powerful on?
Make it part of misc for deletion again?

Or just simply list it on MFD. I still don't get why we have this page for redirect discussion. Redirects are fundamentally useful, fairly unimportant things that should be included wherever possible. Redirects are the obvious exception to my usual deletionism. Delete offensive and silly stuff wherever found - why the need for RFD?
I share David's sentiments on this. Some practices are mysteriously guided by something greater than rationality. Keeping these people occupied with looking for pots of steam is a means of keeping them away from things that really matter. ;-)

Wow, I had not thought of that. All of a sudden I like AfD.
