I'm not trying to game the system the WP:RFD states: "To delete a redirect without replacing it with a new article, list it here."  (That's where we had it listed... which isn't realy appropriate because we where trying to create "a new article", that didn't have all the law citations.)  Furthermore it states that "It isn't necessary to delete a redirect if you just want to replace the redirect with an article, or change where it points: see How do I change a redirect? for instructions on how to do that."
