When an article is moved a Redirect is made at the original location.

Wouldn't it be good if there would be an exception when article is moved to User page space or Wikipedia: space (or Wikinews, Wikiquote...)

Some articles proposed for deletetion don't get deleted, but are moved to the User:MyName/TheUndeletedArticle
This leaves the redirect page at TheUndeletedArticle, which should be deleted, but it sometimes isn't.
Samesituation when SomeWikipediaPolicy is moved to Wikipedia:SomeWikipediaPolicy

This is bigger problem on smaller Wikipedias and smaller projects, then on major Wikipedias.

Many articles that should be deleted are still there throug the redirects Page => User:Me/Page, instead of being red links.
