Because then we have to decide what to name the actual page and which names will be just redirects, and it has become abundantly clear that there is no general consensus as to what name we should use. Sure, we could keep voting and eventually an option will get more votes than the others, but the number of people who will be unhappy is significantly large. This way no name is more important than the other. Except that one page would be the real page and the others link it like a template. It's even worse than redirects because when someone finds something to edit, and they find that they aren't on the real page, they have to go to the real page to edit. This system would be a major hassle when editing. Redirects take you directly to the page that you can edit easily. You would also have to decide on which page is the real page and which ones are templated. You said they would be the original counterparts? That would mean The Evil Queen would be Regina's real page, and considering she's more of a hero at this point than evil, people would have a problem with that. Honestly, I don't see how it's any better than redirects. In fact redirects are much better. I don't think you understand what Killian had done.
