Yeah, redlinks are supposed to be there for works and creators that might get pages of their own at some point.

Have corresponded with NFSF1McLaren via PM, and per that exchange, many of the removed redlinks will be restored. Have fixed most of them as of now.

Removing redlinks issue?
Troper NFSF1McLaren went into the page for The La's and removed several redlinks I had inserted into the page back several months ago. In some cases, it's okay to do, such as for the pothole I had created for the group's self-titled album. I had reverted some of these examples after ill-advisedly putting them in under circumstances like this one, but didn't catch them all.
But they also did so for a pop group name and ones I had done for three band members names and the album's producer, which I'm less sure about — especially given that they gave the edit reason as "Removed unused links." My understanding is that it's not okay to systematically strip out redlinks just because they're redlinks. Then again, I could be too fussy here on these specific examples.
Edit history
Would appreciate some feedback on this. Thanks!
