What would the rationale for naming this an unnecessary redirect be?
I assume it is because it is not strictly necessary in the sense that one can search for the word and eventually find the article. But it is cumbersome to do so. Most people (and quite a few redirects) would rather search for the article by the most common name of the character, perhaps hoping for a disambiguation page.

Deleting the article outright and calling it "unnecessary" ends up creating a lot of inconvenience and confusion for the sake of saving a very small number of articles.

At first glance, that just doesn't seem to be a good idea. LuisDantas (talk) 03:46, April 13, 2016 (UTC)
