have been left alone after the copy vios were deleted if you simply
didn't know enough about the topic?
3) As a blank page or sub-stub at best, I guess. Doesn't sound appealing.
Blank pages are easier to edit for new contributors, who might be
knowledgeable about the subject, but not about wiki-formatting, than
redirects. If you suspected that the person might be notable, but that
the article was a copy-vio, a blank page would probably have been better.
(On the other hand: since anonymous page creation was switched off,
perhaps substubs are even more desirable.)
If the copyvio did not suggest that it would be desirable to have a page
on the subject, redirects are of course fine.
