Remove Links to Redirects?

@BubbaJoe123456: I noticed your recent change on this page removing links to redirects. As a rule, should editors go through list pages (or any page more generally) and remove links to redirects? There are several more I have found on this page and I can unlink them, first I want to make sure I understand the Wikipedia editing policy on this?

List articles like this should only include notable people, hence, if the person isn't notable to have an article (just a redirect), then they shouldn't be included on a list like this. BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 20:20, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So then Matt Ragland (redirect has existed for 6+ years) and Reid Umstattd (redirect added by me to match Matt Ragland as it was previously unlinked) should be removed from the list as well? Editchecker123 (talk) 20:37, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yup. If they're not notable themselves (rather than just as part of their band), should be removed. BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 21:15, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Got it, thank you for explaining how this works: I have gone ahead and made that change to remove them, also the speedy delete on the address-only redirect I created makes sense given the context you left on that page. Editchecker123 (talk) 21:27, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
