Title
The title seems odd. There were many abbots named Baldwin. In fact, we already have a Baldwin (abbot and physician). —Srnec (talk) 01:01, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I picked the smallest disambiguator I could find... I used to do things like "Baldwin (Abbot of Bury St Edmunds)" but then someone would come along and move them to something like this title... so I gave up even trying, honestly. Seems no matter what I choose - someone's going to object. I like the fuller disambig myself but I keep getting told that's wrong. Ealdgyth - Talk 01:36, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I just realized that this Baldwin and the physician Baldwin are the same Baldwin... Srnec (talk) 04:07, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * And it's basically the old DNB with no citations. Make it a redirect to this? Or something else? Ealdgyth - Talk 13:28, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I like "Baldwin (abbot of Bury St Edmunds)" as a title. I think the two articles should be merged and histmerged, for which we need an admin. It doesn't matter if the old material is kept, although the new ODNB article may be useful. It says flatly that Baldwin died in January 1097. I've added it to the article for now.

 * I have to dig out a couple of packed books - there is enough to flesh this article out more (plus a detailed journal search, etc). The article still has a bit to go. If you think a history merge is best, that's fine. I do have it set for DYK right now.. if that impacts things. Ealdgyth - Talk 03:19, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Agreed that Baldwin (abbot) and Baldwin (abbot and physician) should be merged as they are the same person Hugo999 (talk) 02:52, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Well...
I had just got done with my work for the day and was going to address the issues brought up in the GA review in the last day, but I see it got closed. Whatever. Personally, the article is decent enough and I frankly don't really care that much to bother. (A hint, not everyone has traditional days off - Mondays and Tuesdays are my hubby's days off so we do other stuff and I edit less on these days.) Ealdgyth - Talk 22:52, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
