Talk:Gerard Baker

Merge
The Gerry Baker page should be the one retained, as it is far more complete/detailed, and also Gerry Baker is the name he was known by during his career (per WP:COMMONNAME). If there's any info on the Gerard Baker page (although at a quick glance I couldn't see any) it should be merged into the Gerry Baker page and then the Gerard Baker page should be made a redirect ChrisTheDude 20:36, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. But there is also an English Gerry Baker born in 1938, the same year as this one. And also there is one born in 1939. So, what should the naming conventions be. Considering this one is American, it could get complicated. Mattythewhite 13:06, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Views section
The Views section consists entirely of critics of Baker characterizing or paraphrasing his political views. Why not move such opinions into a Criticism section and quote Baker himself in the Views section? 2603:8001:BC43:9200:ADB2:FD4F:54D:9DBA (talk) 18:13, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
