This is exactly the same as Ibeji, except without the picture. Nominate it to be deleted, with a redirect towards Ibeji. Zeppomedio (talk) 09:41, 20 August 2008 (UTC) 
 * Comment don't know enough about this to take a side, but I'll note that the articles were rather different until a few days ago when an anon IP dumped the content of Ibeji into Yoruba twins. Have reverted back to the pre-existing version of the article. Gr1st (talk) 11:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge. The articles seem to have different foci; Yoruba twins is about twin births in Yoruba society, while Ibeji covers some of the religious aspects and the veneration of a deity of twins.  But the two subjects are very similar, in my impression.  My preference would be to keep Ibeji as the head article.  - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:15, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge, and can we speedy close this debate? This isn't exactly the right place to (essentially) propose a M&R. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 22:38, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge - An article that could easily merged. In an effort of full disclosure, I have long been actively pursuing a cleanup of Wikipedia's oldest articles marked for cleanup, and this article is one of the last three left for the month of June 2006. I am willing to merge this article if no one else wants the task.  Barkeep   Chat 04:07, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Close, not an AFD issue. (The pages only looked identical because of a text dump.) In any case, the page looks fine for a merge alongside a cleanup - the Yoruba twins article is the exact same subject as Sigma 7 (talk) 19:59, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge, I don't see the point in it's removal. It's containing some decent information so I think a merge would be the best choice. businessman332211 (talk) 02:15, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
