Deleting redirects is a problem, but sometimes keeping them is more of a problem. For example where it makes it unreasonably difficult to find similarly named articles, where the redirect might cause confusion, the redirect is offensive or the redirect makes no sense. There are more details and discussion of the policy at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion]] and [[Wikipedia talk:Deletion policy/redirects]].
I was going to reply on a couple of points, but since discussion on just this matter exists there, then I'll look at those pages instead for now.
