The result was Redirect to David H. M. Brooks the correct spelling of the article name. The correct thing to do in the first place would have been just to move the article to the correct title instead of creating a new duplicate article. There was no need for this to come to AFD.

This should be deleted because it was created as an accidental duplicate of David H.M.Brooks by the accidental addition of a space between the '.' and 'Brooks'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Archnoid process (talk • contribs) 2008/03/14 02:45:13
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete this page and then move the other page, David H.M.Brooks, to this name (which is propely spaced). JJL (talk) 14:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge info from the two pages onto this one, and turn the other into redirect as various pages link to it. And, take care when adding AfD templates not to break infoboxes! Have mended this one. PamD (talk) 16:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Neither article name meets the WP:NCP guideline. It should be David H. M. Brooks. --Dhartung | Talk 17:54, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Or should it be David Brooks (philosopher)? In any case, merge to one and create redirects from umpteen variations! PamD (talk) 18:44, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * On his books, he's primarily credited as D.H.M. Brooks. --Dhartung | Talk 19:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * But see http://psyche.cs.monash.edu.au/v6/psyche-6-04-brooks.html, cited in the article, which calls him "David Brooks" in heading, copyright statement, and also in editorial note at end! PamD (talk) 08:41, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Couldn;t this simply have been done as housekeeping? DGG (talk) 15:31, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I'd be happy to perform a history merge and rename, but first I'd like to see some evidence that he is actually notable. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:52, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

David H.M.Brooks has been moved to the more appropriate David H. M. Brooks. I'd redirect this article to the new name if this AfD weren't still going on. B.Wind (talk) 18:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
