  Personally, I would like to see us going in a different direction - we should 
stop excluding namespaces. For the 'Draft' namespace in particular, I don't 
like it, but it's unlikely to go away any time soon. So if we want to encourage 
people to use Wikidata information in articles, without having to constantly 
define the QID, then we should allow sitelinks to the draft articles. They 
would only be temporary after all, since enwp seems to periodically delete 
drafts.
  
  But to answer @Lydia_Pintscher's specific question: I think it's fine to 
leave the sitelink to a redirect. If the draft gets deleted, then the redirect 
will also be deleted, and the sitelink removed. Probably the same will also 
apply to other excluded namespaces. The important thing is that sitelinks are 
removed if the page they are linking to no longer exists at all.
