This is too strong in my oppinion. Suppose that you are trying to merge the 
following items:

- Bonnie (Q1) with sitelink [[en:Bonnie]], which is redirect to [[Bonnie and 
Clyde]]
- Clyde (Q2) with sitelink [[en:Clyde]], which is also a redirect to [[Bonnie 
and Clyde]]

Although the final targets are identical, neither of the redirect chains passes 
through the other sitelink. This indicates that Bonnie (Q1) and Clyde (Q2) may 
be different concepts and they should not be merged.
