Walter Hartwell-James[edit]
This page is a dup of article Walter James. The title incorrectly conjoins James' middle name and surname. Article Walter James is a high quality article, and it pretty much covers everything in the dup. Hesperian 01:56, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, someone may have been trying some sort of vanity tie-in or whatever... dupe. Wyss 02:09, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- The contributor is a well-behaved wikicitizen. I think this is an innocent mistake. Hesperian 02:38, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- The contributor is an anon IP with less than 50 edits to his name. I think maybe you thought I contributed the article. I didn't; I only added cleanup and category tags to it after it was created. My apologies anyway, though -- I'd actually have speedied it instead of tagging if I'd known it was a duplicate. Bearcat 03:40, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I was speaking of the anon IP. The contributer seems to be focussed on making Hale School a great article, and making sure every famous person who ever went to Hale School is recognised as such. Despite the single-minded focus, previous edits have been valid contributions. Hesperian 23:34, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- delete, with the reservation that if information is present in the deleted article but not the "original", that it be preserved. Avriette Thu Feb 10 02:43:30 GMT 2005
- Merge and redirect to Walter James. Megan1967 06:29, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Merge. This is not a case for VfD. Be bold! Mikkalai 07:00, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Thankyou Mikkalai - I have been bold. Walter Hartwell-James has been merged into Walter James. Walter Hartwell-James is now a redirect (which doesn't work because it still has subst:vfd in it). You may wish to consider the matter closed, and remove this VFD. Or you might wish to continue this VFD, in which case you will be voting for/against the deletion of a redirect.

- There's a separate discussion area at Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion, if you want to continue the debate on this as it now stands. Bearcat 03:12, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
