Past merge[edit]

The article (originally in Ermenegildo Zegna (executive) article title, and then moved to Ermenegildo Zegna (1955)) was boldly merged to Ermenegildo Zegna by Praxidicae on 2019-08-28T15:58:10‎, with the following edit summary not independently notable and a raging promotional piece.

The article creator restarted the article in Draft:Ermenegildo Zegna and accepted by DGG 2020-01-14T00:00:05. A historymerge was requested by me in the following day, to merge the page history that scattered in the two article titles.

Moreover, under Ermenegildo Zegna (executive) article title, the article had been deleted in 2017 by Doc James due to G5: Creation by a blocked or banned user in violation of block or ban: G5, G11, TOU violation

Thus, not sure it need a full Afd discussion or not . Matthew hk (talk) 11:31, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

yes, I knew I was reinstating an article deleted under G5, which any good-faith editor can do if they are willing to take responsibility for it. (for this particular set, I am saving about 1 in 50, and others are saving similarly--I think the net result will be to keep or rewrite 1 in 10. ) But I agree that this group of articles needs to be considered as a whole; I unfortunately lack the ability to properly perform history merges--the few I've tried have not worked properly.
