What is going on?

I am surprised to find that there has been a move of some sort from Afternoon of a Faun (ballet) (AFB) to Afternoon of a Faun (Nijinsky) (AFN). Some questions:

Wasn't there considerable content at AFB? I seem to recall that there was; but the history comes up blank! Why is this? It looks as if most of the history has been deleted by an administrator. Did this happen? If so, why?
Where is the discussion that should precede any such action, and any such move? Where is the evidence that the appropriate tag for potentially controversial moves ({{move|NewName}}) was applied, and discussion allowed for? (see Wikipedia:Requested_moves).
Why has the talk from AFB been moved, and a redirect applied? This is highly irregular, and denies the opportunity for discussion of the article AFB, and of its status as a mere redirect. I shall now remove that redirect. Every article has its own talk page, even if the article is just a redirect.
An anonymous editor earlier removed content referring to other choreographies than Nijinsky's, saying in the edit summaries that the article was not about those choreographies, just Nijinsky's. If this is so, why is there not some "See also" mention of those others? If there is no article like AFB, where is it proposed that other choreographies of AF be treated in Wikipedia?

I'm posting these questions at the talk page of AFB and AFN. Please leave the talk page for AFN in place; and if you do want to put a redirect there, DISCUSS that action first. This is the correct procedure at Wikipedia.

Afternoon of a Faun (ballet) moved to Afternoon of a Faun (Nijinsky)

Afternoon of a Faun (ballet) was moved to Afternoon of a Faun (Nijinsky) to make space for pages about other choreographers' settings of Debussy's Afternoon of a Faun.
