Description John Mark Vandenberg 2014-11-06 15:44:52 UTC 
e.g. Elections_in_Dakota,_Maine is not a title that should have a redirect Elections_in_Dakota,_ME as that type of redirect isnt likely to be a direct data entry, and it clutters the search results / suggestions lists.

The script currently does create any article which has a state suffix, as that is what the compat us-states.py script did.

https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elections_in_Dakota,_ME&redirect=no

If the script used pagegenerators, it would probably be possible to filter out undesirable titles to be created, or maybe that depends on bug 54537.

It asks before creating them.
