for encyclopaedic content, whether here or elsewhere, which people searching the encyclopaedia will not want to see. All these redirects have the same WP: shortcut, which is the standard for pages in the Knowledge namespace, and therefore cancel out the benefit that that work provided. In this case, the redundancy is harmful.
229:
The WP: shortcuts were moved out of the article namespace to reduce the number of cross-namespace redirects. As the encyclopaedia can be reused by anyone, CNRs create broken links if the encyclopaedia is separated from the project to create the encyclopaedia. These will also clutter up search results

per nom. Most of the redirects have no useful/permanent incoming links (most are generated by this RfD), and the handful of links that exist can easily be replaced (I'll do it if the discussions closes as "delete"), so there's no need to keep these redirects when the same "WP:" shortcuts exist.

as an R2 before I found this discussion, since as MBisanz said it technically is article space unless U: gets promoted to a pseudo namespace. --

Redirect to userspace. Currently the U: prefix places a page in the article space, this should be deleted as a guestbook is not an article.

I have added three more that meet the criteria for the nomination. The others are different cases and should be considered separately.

as a cross-namespace redirect, though I think it might be a good idea to eventually change the U: prefix to userspace. –

there's quite a bit more. Most of those redirect to WikiProjects, some to a portal. None of them are articles. --
