What to do with old doorway pages?

Hi,

I am taking over a website's search engine optimization. The site was done by a bad SEO firm that left a boat load of doorway pages on the site. Google has indexed these doorway pages. Should I just delete these doorway pages or I do a permanent redirect of these pages?

Even though this search engine spam technique has been so outdated, still a lot of companies use it. I have seen quite a bit. Have you SEO folks seen this often as a common practice or do you rarely see it at all?

Thanks in advance for your insight.

Hi, if you read the webmasters guidelines section at Google once more, you will easily figure out what to do...
