Talk:Frances McLaughlin-Gill

Abandoned user draft
Please would SusunW or another interested editor assess the earlier abandoned draft at User:Conchubair/Frances McLaughlin-Gill, incorporate whatever is useful, blank that page as WP:COPYARTICLE, and leave a note here when done? – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:53, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I didn't even know that draft existed until you just notified me. I am extremely busy working on other projects, but have stopped what I am doing because of your ping here. Comparing the draft to the article, the only thing in the draft, but not in the article is the statement about the 2000 documentary, "Twin Lenses", but both sources linking to that are dead or don't link to anything about the documentary. There are sources about the film, but none show the documentary being created in 2000. Based on what I can find it was created in 2009. Merging the two would duplicate material that is already sourced and would require someone to come along and clean-up afterwards. Thus, that seems like a very bad idea and a waste of someone's time. I'm not sure why you are asking me to clean up a problem you found? Policing other people's work is not something I am comfortable doing. Why would I blank a page someone else created? I am not an admin and I avoid AfD like the plague. I'll add the bit about the documentary to this article, but blanking the draft and marking it with some template to be deleted is not something I am comfortable doing.

 * Hi SusunW, thanks for doing the merge. WP:COPYARTICLE says what to do with abandoned versions, and why – I have done that now.
 * When I stumble across such drafts I usually just leave a note on the current article's talk page with no ping, but in this case it was clear that one editor had been most interested in the subject and was still active, hence my ping inviting you to help. There was no hurry, but I'm grateful for you making the time to resolve the matter. Best wishes – Fayenatic  L ondon 07:08, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
