You could both get him the info and also preserve the testcase. Don't purge
anything and give him an alternative URL like:

* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Clark_Warren?foo (I made this up)
*
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neil_Clark_Warren&oldid=523949993(permalink
in the sidebar toolbox)
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/?oldid=523949993 (variant of the last one)
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Warren (via what links here)

Or just tell him to log in/make an account. (logged in users bypass some
caches)

HTH.
