Merge Nicholas of Guildford with The Owl and the Nightingale

Nothing is known of Nicholas of Guildford apart from the mention of his name in The Owl and the Nightingale, which has led to the suggestion that he was the poem's author. A discussion of him is necessarily a discussion of the poem, so having an article on each seems redundant to me. --Antiquary (talk) 20:49, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree; I see no reason why the two articles should not be merged. As the merged article would primarily be about the poem, I think that it should be at The Owl and the Nightingale rather than here. Rje (talk) 16:17, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Agree also. All we know about Nicholas is derived from the poem. I second having the Owl and the Nightingale as the article title, with a section on Nicholas/authorial speculation within it. ANB (talk) 16:10, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Done

Per the discussion above, I have merged "Nicholas of Guildford" into "The Owl and the Nightingale". Accordingly, this talk page for "Nicholas of Guildford" has been archived under "The Owl and the Nightingale". Cavila (talk) 11:07, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
