 * Are the merge and delete !voters familiar with Merge and delete. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:51, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. Any material merged will need to be so drastically rewritten to address WP:OR, WP:COI, WP:NPOV, and WP:RS issues that the old article history will become irrelevant. -- Radagast 3 (talk) 04:19, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * If the material is really that bad (arguably so), then it should be deleted. If there is anything of use, including the compilation of the reference list, then redirecting is easier.  If the redirect is really not wanted, we must at least note the authorship of  should it get used at Ball lightning.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:02, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
