Recently I have noticed some redirects like {{NYCS stub}} to {{NYCS-stub}} listed on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Stub_types_for_deletion . The stub sorters, typically the only people to frequent SFD, are voting for their deletion on the grounds that they are "incorrectly named". What? That is in fact NOT a reason to delete a redirect. I don't think template redirects even have the performance problem of nested templates; there is no reason to delete these redirects. If someone wants them deleted, they can be listed on [[WP:RFD]] like all other redirects.
Grutness now says I'm vandalizing SFD by removing the redirects and his change in the scop[e of the page to include redirects.
This is completely and utterly WRONG. Unless they are misleading or overly broad, we should NEVER delete redirects. Especially on templates, where it's often hard to remember the exact spelling, capitalisation and hyphenation involved.
