Well Naginii, as Cormac pointed out the current founder has cease to exist before, and in that short time the region got tag raided. Considering the region's history and founder's inactivity it does make a good safeguard.
Furthermore I think most would disagree that the founder and region's natives' wishes shouldn't be considered.
I believe leaving this piece of Ns in place is the right thing to do, and it seems the World Assembly body agrees.
