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.
It isn't difficult to delete the redirect. I think it's better to keep it as it is - for example, it allows the admin to leave the redirect there for a couple of days so as not to have redlinks in the deletion debate while people may still be interested in it.
