This is redirecting to "personal injury". Ought not it to redirect to attorney?

First, I deleted the redirect. I did not write the unsigned comment. Second, this is not vandalism - I checked. There is a good reason to delete the redirect because it is redirecting a derogatory term to a profession. And no, "prostitution" is not a profession, so redirecting "whore" to "prostitute" is very very different. At one point, there was a photo of John Edwards under "ambulance chaser" and that was removed for a similar reason. I also explained the reason in the discussion. For both of these reasons, deleting the redirect to "personal injury lawyer" is NOT vandalism. Please see WP:VANDAL. An Afd is not necessary under these circumstances, although it had already been once deleted. Thank you. Jance 21:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
This whole mess (which almost 5 years later was still little more than a [[WP:NOT|dictionary definiti) has now been replaced with a redirect to the much better article at the correct technical title, barratry. Rossami (talk) 12:52, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
I added a little more detail so that the article is at least a decent stub, rather than just a dicdef. I don't think this should be a redirect, as "ambulance chasing" is (unfortunately) a very real phenomenon within the legal profession. If anyone else can add to this, please do so. -- Eastlaw 05:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
I agree with the first paragraph. However, is there any evidence of the term being used in the ways described by the other definitions? thisisace ( talk) 21:14, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
