Category redirects should not be deleted if they are useful, as this breaks linkage for other projects and non-Wikimedia projects (that's distinct from creating them to cover synonyms pre-emptively).

In the case of this particular category, I believe that the redirect is useful as the category existed at that location for well over a year and may plausibly be linked to both inside or, outside Wikimedia. The harm to categorising users in this case would be minimal as all "Church interiors*" categories are being deprecated in favour of "Interiors of churches of*".--[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] ([[User talk:Nilfanion|talk]]) 11:46, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

:Note in this case I made a typo in the redirect - surely correct behaviour would be to fix it not delete it ;)
