Its already in the policy (first bullet), and is common practice for literary templates (I have created a ton of these, but also have seen other people creating them as well). The redlinks link to clearly notable topics that deserve articles and have considerable scholarship; thus they are likely to be created. Redlinking, in general, is a good think: and encourages continued article creation. This has happened with the JFCooper articles, and I am sure it will happen with the Trollope articles. Moreover, a redlink is a useful navigational tool, in that it shows people where we cannot help them yet. If you don't remember 4-5 years ago, one of the biggest growth tools to encourage new editors was read links (read Wikipedia:Red link). But precisely this kind of overreach on policy, to make Wikipedia look complete and not a WP:Work in Progress prevents new people from finding ways to contribute - and discourages people from making good faith attempts at contributing. Please don't let this kind of legalism perpetuate the decline in editorship,
