Talk:Lockers

The page "Lockers" appears to duplicate the page "Locker" - that is, until I added a couple of entries to the "Surname" section of "Locker", which have appeared only in "Locker" but not "Lockers" - thus showing that the two pages are independent, even if they began with identical content.

I understand that titles of Wikipedia pages that are nouns should usually be in the singular, not the plural, or that, if a plural entry is considered worth including, it should be merely a redirection to the main entry under the singular title.

So I would propose that this page should be deleted, although I don't feel sure enough of this to do it myself. My editing of the singular version shows that there is a danger of two essentially identical pages (one superfluous) diverging from each other as a result of edits, and maybe ending up quite different from each other.

(Should I add my surname entries to the other article too, or delete the superfluous one, or just let the two diverge from each other?)

Since I wrote the previous entry in this talk page, I've done a bit more reading about how candidate articles for possible deletion should be handled, and it now seems that the best thing to do with this article is simply to convert it to a redirection to the singular version of the title (that is, "Locker"); so I have just done this. In deleting the content to replace with the redirection code, I verified that all this deleted content is identical to the content in the article being redirected to.
