The redlinks were removed "as per WP:NAV". I have re-added the redlinks, as per what WP:NAV actually says: "Red links should be avoided unless they are very likely to be developed into articles" (my bolding). These are very likely to be developed into articles. If you're going to follow the advice of an essay, at least read what it actually tells you. It is further worth noting that WP:NAV is just an essay, not a guideline, and far less than a policy. Standard practice is to leave redlinks as encouragement to editors to create the articles, and therefore to improve Wikipedia. As far as I know, essays which suggest procedures which make an improvement of Wikipedia less likely never normally get to the point of being regarded as guidelines (though some recent changes to Wikipedia may suggest otherwise).
