When I remove a redirect from the deletion queue, I put the reason why in the notes. If you see one you think has popped up a second time, I'd take a look there. Generally the only reason I do that is if the redirect is useful in some way, even if nothing links to it--i.e. "The Torturer," since visitors will probably try to look him up by that name if they're not obsessive like we are.

(You're doing a great job catching all the bad redirects, by the way. I see a lot of people left redirects behind when they changed the names of typoed pages, and I appreciate you helping clean them out.)

Images are a little trickier, yeah. What I've been doing is trying to determine if the image is redundant. If it's been superseded by a better image, that's definitely a criterion for deletion, and if it's just sort of a generic image where other pictures get the point across better, that's a good reason too. It's probably going to be a case-by-case basis thing, but that's a good place to start.
