Talk:Ricky Ponting

Merger
I propose to merge Ricky Ponting with the Australian cricket team in India in 2008–09 and Early life of Ricky Ponting into this article. Pharaoh496 (talk) 11:43, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Ricky Ponting with the Australian cricket team in India in 2008–09 is designed as a duplicate and focuses on a single player during a tour.
 * Early life of Ricky Ponting because someone's early life can be fit into the same page.


 * Keep: his article is already long, having two separate articles for significant parts of his biography makes sense recentlyryan RecentlyRyan 11:43, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Tell me, whats the first article even relevant about? Its a duplicate Pharaoh496 (talk) 14:56, 16 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge Ricky Ponting with the Australian cricket team in India in 2008–09 selectively, as an unnecessary WP:CFORK. Early life of Ricky Ponting seems like an okay WP:SPLIT considering the main article is long. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:14, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Most of the 2008–09 is general information on the tour, rather than about Ponting himself. Only content that's about Ponting and relevant should be considered for a merge. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:43, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * There is already a tour page as well. That page is entirely WP:CFORK. When should this discussion be closed? Pharaoh496 (talk) 08:08, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Might I add that there is similar consensus for the merging of Early life of Keith Miller into Keith Miller in a similar situation, with the latter being a FA at the time of the merge? Pharaoh496 (talk) 15:17, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge redundant pages. X (talk) 00:42, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
