Yup, I think there's absolutely no need to repeat the Nobleman part :). About the "redundant" redirect, it's true that you can search them, but:


 * 1) If someone accidentally links Thurtson in some new or existing page without searching the actual page name, it's better to have it point to redirected page rather than a red link (and eventually they get fixed)
 * 2) If someone types "Thurtson" directly in the search bar, with the redirect he will be brought to the page directly, without the need to go through searches - that saves trouble, and, especially when someone uses a slow internet connection (like mobile), time and data transfer.
 * 3) If someone (like me) type the link directly to the browser, just replacing the part, with no redirect he will be brought to an empty/removed page.

Of course, there's no reason to go overboard and list every possible variation we can come up with, but the most common redirects are good to have nevertheless – after all, that's why the redirect functionality exist in MediaWiki in the first place!
