Gutierrez, Carlos M.
His article already exists. Carlos Gutierrez. I am merging as I type. (Well, nearly) Smoddy (t) (e) (c) 22:27, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Since you are merging, I recommend redirect instead of delete. 1) Redirect does not require a VfD vote. You can be bold.  2) Redirect will keep some future contributor from making the same mistake.  3) Redirect will point the anonymous contributor to the correct place so he/she can learn from the mistake.  4) Redirect is easier than copy-pasting the edit history over to the main article (keeping attribution history is a requirement of GFDL).  5) Redirects are cheap.

 * Delete, duplicates existing article, no redirect - who is going to type in "Gutierrez, Carlos M." when Carlos Gutierrez in a search will get you there anyway? Megan1967 02:02, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Plenty of people, esp. those who grew up reading paper encyclopedias. Redir. Meelar (talk) 02:22, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect, per Rossami and Meelar Kappa 04:11, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
