Talk:James Charles Critchell-Bullock

Proposed merge of James C. Critchell-Bullock with James Charles Critchell-Bullock
Pages cover the same topic, but are not identical. Content should be merged and one title should be turned into a redirect Ost (talk) 15:47, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ost316. When I removed the content and replaced it with the message "Please remove - its an exact duplicate of the James Charles Critchell-Bullock entry" the text they contained had been exactly the same. However, if you view the history of that latter page, you see that I subsequently substantially improved the details on that page, which then made them non-identical. I personally feel that the page James C. Critchell-Bullock should be deleted all together. NWFrontier (talk) 16:16, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation and for your improvements. Your expanded version appears more comprehensive. I will note that the information may be the same in the edits you noted were duplicates, but the formatting is different between https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_Charles_Critchell-Bullock&oldid=1023075007 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_C._Critchell-Bullock&oldid=1003319560. Since the information is the same, there does not appear to be any information to merge, but I wasn't sure that that it one could just be replaced with a redirect or if a WP:HISTMERGE were needed; however, after further reading, I think that their WP:Parallel histories make it unsuitable for a HistMerge, so I will change the less-complete page to a redirect. If anyone objects to this or has concerns about history, they are welcome to revert me or address them subsequently, since neither page will be deleted in this process. —Ost (talk) 18:03, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
