Edward Galland, David Kellman and Robert Shafran
Should there be an article about Edward Galland, David Kellman and Robert Shafran? What happen to them is really incredible and they had a documentary filmed about their life (and plenty of newspaper articles too). Check Three Identical Strangers. Ericdec85 (talk) 02:26, 31 October 2018 (UTC)


 * What would you include in such an article that isn't already covered by the article about the film? HiLo48 (talk) 02:44, 31 October 2018 (UTC)


 * The obvious thing to do is create all three names as redirects to the film article. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 03:08, 31 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Seems reasonable - done (but only for the individual names, not the amalgamated list that Ericdec85 linked to). Matt Deres (talk) 15:48, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I think any useful information about the individuals could be added to the film article itself, I see no impending benefit from separate articles at this time. The information is fine to add to the film article.  -- Jayron 32 16:21, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Mostly agree. The situation itself possibly needs to be a distinct article from the film interpretation, but it usually comes down to amount of verifiable/noteworthy material to be added. For now, I think it's fine; it could always be split if there's a lot of development down the road. Matt Deres (talk) 18:22, 31 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Redirects from Edward Galland, David Kellman and Robert Shafran would work sufficiently once they are created. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 16:52, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Don't let us stop you. -- Jayron 32 17:39, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Done for the other versions of their names now as well (the ones I made earlier were under variations of their names; I never even noticed). Matt Deres (talk) 18:09, 31 October 2018 (UTC)


 * For two of the three, MD had their nicknames instead of their formal names. All should be well now. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:11, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
