I don't think keeping the redirects is useful. As we've already said on the previous discussion that, as they all start with "Doctor Who" searching for anything isn't going to be useful until you hit the main part of the title. And it that's the cast when you hit return/enter you'll be taken to the big search page whose first result will no doubt include the page you're looking for.
Looking at the list the only one that I can see which wouldn't be correct is Doctor Who: The Last Time Lord as it's the name of a treatment, rather than a Doctor Who branding prefix. But as the source is from an audio production I'm not sure if we could actually tell if the "Doctor Who" prefix was actually there. So it can also be moved without issue I think.
Specifically 'what the bot got wrong':
- Redirects relating to Doctor Who (1996): Doctor Who: The Movie, Doctor Who: The TV Movie, Doctor Who: The TV movie. Although I suppose these can also be moved, but as they're already redirects it wouldn't be any more useful.
- Doctor Who: Weeping Angels: Stories activities and stickers, this just needs renaming to what's on the cover; The Weeping Angels (activity book). The "stickers and stories" seems just an attempt at dabbing the title, but on the cover it's not part of it.
In future we may need to have a discussion about what constitutes a "title" and the under-title, as there are books such as Doctor Who: Timeframe: The Illustrated History, which then becomes Timeframe: The Illustrated History, but the "The Illustrated History" portion isn't the title exactly. In a similar area The New Audio Adventures: The Inside Story, which doesn't have the DW prefix, but does include the under-title. But these questions aren't affected by the task at hand and can be dealt with at a later date.
