 *  History of Dedham, Massachusetts, 2000–present ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) has incomplete attribution because it contains text copied from the deleted article History of Dedham, Massachusetts, in television and film. See WP:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1135 for more context. Note that one revision is currently at User:Slugger O'Toole/History of Dedham, Massachusetts, in television and film.
 * One approach is to undelete and redirect, but that would alter the delete outcome of WP:Articles for deletion/History of Dedham, Massachusetts, in television and film.
 * WP:Merge and delete (essay) lists other options. Flatscan (talk) 04:22, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Needs admin attention; please view deleted history of History of Dedham, Massachusetts, in television and film and supply a list of all contributors to the article. It can be treated like an intra-wiki copy, where you supply attribution in the edit summary like "Content merged from now-deleted of History of Dedham, Massachusetts, in television and film; contributors of that page are [insert editors]". If there are a lot of contributors, a list on the talk page will suffice with a notice that it is not to be deleted. Sennecaster  ( Chat ) 03:49, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Alternatively, recreate as redirect, undelete the whole article history from creation to through when the content was copied over and IAR revdel the history with names and edit summaries showing. Alternatively, remove content that was merged into the article and RD5 it. Sennecaster  ( Chat ) 11:54, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Undeleted, redirected, I'm not doing revdels, it's a waste of time. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 14:06, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you both for your assistance! The one revision is still at User:Slugger O'Toole/History of Dedham, Massachusetts, in television and film, but the cross-page diff shows one sentence with limited creative content. Flatscan (talk) 04:24, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
