Generally, people do not gain "historic" significance just by changing their names or using nicknames. Was this redirection related to a past misuse of the word "historic" to mean any former name? --SoledadKabocha (talk) 21:05, 11 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps the creator, SMcCandlish, could shed some light on this? Happy holidays! Paine 01:14, 12 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
