Well,

1. People are going to misspell regardless. The unnecessary redirect is there to help with searching. 2. If the page already exists, they'll get redirected to the right place. Whether they then learn the correct spelling or not is on them. 3. For some reason, I am not seeing it unless Thermoman or a couple of other editors are making them for the purpose of assisting with searching. We could delete them, but again people will just misspell regardless. Some people just can't be bothered to learn to spell the names correctly and deleting the redirects won't fix that.

I already can see misspellings right away, and while we could make it a rule we will soon find ourselves with a lot fewer editors. I don't feel shooting ourselves in the foot is a good idea.
