Like so much it needs updating. It is of historical interest, at the 
very least.  For  example I discovered the unusual "[[List of big-bust 
models and performers]]" which was deleted at the 6th AfD, partly on the 
basis that it was redundant to [[Category:Big-bust models and 
performers]].  This category was later deleted on the basis that if the 
list was deleted, the category was irredeemable.   A later redirect at 
"[[List of big bust performers]]" was speedily deleted with the summary 
"(R3<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD#R3>: Recently created, 
implausible redirect)" - the page was then getting 864 hits a month, 
down from the *2,182* per day of 2008.  This is a good example of where 
a piecemeal approach produces perverse results.
