Ideally, it would be both visible when visiting an item and looking at the list of sitelinks and via SPARQL. Then a normal Wikidata bot could clean up. > > It's worth noting that not every Wikipedia admin who deletes a page necessarily has the right to edit the respective Wikidata item as he might not be autoconfirmed on Wikidata and the page is protected. As such the user account can't remove links in all cases when a bot on Wikidata could. Yeah agreed. That's an issue but my understanding is that that's unrelated to the issue of suppressing the redirect when moving to an unsupported namespace.
