Talk:Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

NEED LIST.
Article needs estimated net worth of the twins. Heard they were up and above the billion dollar mark already, info like this should be added by a resourceful wikipedian in my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

Nowhere near a billion. Forbes say $100 million - don't know if that is combined or each though. http://www.forbes.com/2007/01/17/richest-women-entertainment-tech-media-cz_lg_richwomen07_0118womenstars_lander.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.113.10 (talk) 20:57, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Crediting on Full House
the use of 'Mary Kate Ashley Olsen' was supposed to give the illusion of them being one person? The way it came off to me (with a line break after Kate) was that they were two people with different last names.. >.> —Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

They were credited as "Mary Kate Ashley Olsen" for the first 3 seasons of the show, to avoid confusion. Afterwards it became "Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. To help differentiate, MK did most of the comedic scenes, whereas Ashley did more of the somber and/or emotional scenes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Malsk (talk • contribs) 09:32, 17 July 2007 Also on the page it says Ashley would cry more than Mary-Kate when she was brought on set in the first year of the show and that is true. The Olsen twins themselves admitted to this is a interview.

Merge individual articles into the twins article
I'm proposing to merge Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen into Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen per WP:OVERLAP. I'm not exaggerating when I say the articles are word-for-word duplicative across much of the articles.

Example 1:

Ashley's article:

Mary-Kate's article:

Example 2:

Ashley's article:

Mary-Kate's article:

These are just samples. Sources overwhelmingly discuss the pair together, and that is justified. The twins have done just about everything together, even the awards they received. It serves the readers better to consolidate this information into one (1) article than keep separated as three (3) separate articles with massive overlap. The instances where they did things separately is an exception, and we can still accomodate for that in a combined article when its needed (e.g. Personal Life subsections, Mary-Kate's equestrian career). There is no guideline or policy that states we need separate articles just because they are separate people. TarkusAB talk / contrib 19:51, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree that there is extreme overlap in the articles, but that was probably done by editors copying sections to the multiple articles unnecessarily. I feel they are both notable on their own and if some trimming adjusting needs to be done that's another discussion. Either way I'm opposed the merger or removal of the individual articles.

 * Oppose, while there is a lot of overlap they have separate acting credits, relationships, roles on the Row, etc. --Shivertimbers433 (talk) 23:27, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * OK I have withdrawn the proposal. TarkusAB talk / contrib 22:20, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
