We talked about this a month or so ago.  I'm not a fan of deleting redirects, unless they're defamatory or harmful to the project (like my spam one).  I really, really hate the case-sensitivity of Media Wiki and re-directs are one way to make that less of a problem.  I humbly request that you save us both some time by not deleting them, or of course, I'm open to more conversation if you like.

:I agree with Ted there. I know they appear in the "all pages" list, but that's not something most people ever need to look at. Redirects definitely avoid the likely duplication of pages by well-meaning people who just haven't searched far enough to find what they are duplicating (and don't know they haven't), or haven't even tried.
