... not because it was bad, but because the "circular" link is needed.
We have an unwritten policy of removing unused redirects, even if they're redirects of real life terms to tropey titles. Thus, we need to keep the redirect in use somewhere, and the place that's become the standard for such links is the page with the tropey title.
Whether any of this is a good way to handle things is debatable, of course. But it's what we've come up with, lacking a better way to handle this situation.
