Why is a blank page better than a revert?

It's not, it's supposed to be a redirect to the proper name, which I just restored. Bloodshedder 21:34, 21 Mar 2005 (EST)

But it’s NOT his name? Why we should keep a false name? Why not Boris Iawanksi, Boris Iwamsky and so on? Ducon 23:57, 21 Mar 2005 (EST)

Yup but the history is transferred in the new page, so if we erase the wrong article we won’t loose anything. Ducon 11:05, 22 Mar 2005 (EST)
Leaving the redirect here (redirects are automatically made when a page is moved) makes more sense than deleting it. Even on Wikipedia, common misspellings are made into redirects to the proper articles. Bloodshedder 13:52, 22 Mar 2005 (EST)
yeah and poor Tarin but, that must be a fairly frequent character swap Jon 16:04, 22 Mar 2005 (EST)
