Ironwood and Torchwick still need doing, I think. And the robots, as you said. Ironwood we were thinking of doing, but Roman isn't REALLY needed, as he's been referred to, by name multiple times.

Anyhow, I do understand where you come from, but with all due respect, I'll simply put this here:

... there isn't a need to have redirects for each character, given that they're A.) on the navbar in certain cases, and B.) It's not really THAT laborious to have to type out names, if need be.

Also, to your "dead ends" point, I'll assume that was referring to my deletion of them all. If so, there's no such thing as a "dead page" in that sense. It's either gone, or it's not. And for now, it's gone.

I'm not trying to come off as rude, but again, it's not a big thing to have to type out a full name. People have been able to find these pages without difficulty so far in that sense. I mean, currently, I'm literally typing "Ruby" and getting the same result as if a redirect was there. There's not really much more of a convenience, as Wikia's search bar not only autofills it for you, but goes the small extra mile to give you the full name.

I can understand a case of convenience if everything wasn't laid out for you, but in this case, it's one where necessity also crosses over, and makes this moot.
