The discussion about items without sitelinks is off topic. The topic is items 
with sitelinks to redirects.

Here is an other example which demonstrates that sitelinks to redirects can 
solve linking problems:
Wikidata has Q182098 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q182098> and Q12874593 
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12874593>, //enwiki// has kilowatt hour 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilowatt_hour> and //itwiki// has wattora 
<https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wattora>. //itwiki// wants to have a interwiki 
link to //enwiki// and vise versa. The two items can not merged, because they 
describe different items. This problem can solved by linking the redirect watt 
hour <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt_hour> from Q12874593 and the redirect 
chilowattora <https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilowattora> from Q182098. The 
alternative is to add in wattora <https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wattora> an 
traditional interwikilink `[[en:Kilowatt_hour]]` and vice versa. But this are 
crosslinks and generate much more problems than sitelinks to redirects.
