[edit] Major Revert (04:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC))

I have just made a revert to this page covering several versions, back to Irishguy's version of June 11. I reverted the change of the page into a redirect , and while I was at it, removed two non-notable (red-linked) individuals.

The change to a redirect (by anonymous IP 65.122.45.112) was not discussed here, and no rationale has been given for why Tyler, Texas is any better for this article title than other cities of that name, a notable person (like U.S. President Tyler), or anything else named Tyler. The anon editor has edited several articles relating to Tyler, Texas, and that may be a factor.

Regardless of motivation, I think a dab page makes much more sense here. Please discuss future major changes of this nature before destroying large amounts of work for a redirect. --SuperNova |T|C| 04:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
