User:Chris the speller

I moved the talkpage because "Chris the speller" was too lazy to when he crudely and clumsily split the article. Chris 07:09, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

merge

I propose to merge the two articles, which were unnecessarily split from each other without discussion. Chris (クリス) (talk) 02:12, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with your proposal. I see no reason why the articles were suddenly split like that. --Cpkondas (talk) 17:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Move encyclopaedic material

Seems the merge was discussed already. Continue discussing, not edit warring. — Rlevse • Talk • 20:10, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Following a revert dispute, I suggest we now discuss the issues here [written before previous comment].

This article, currently named Fitch, is a disambiguation page. It has a redirect to it from Fitch (surname). It appears that there has been previous discussion about merging two articles (see above), but it is not apparent from the discussion what was being merged or why, nor even what this article was called at the time (the identical discussion occurs at Talk:Fitch (surname)).

The article as it stands includes encyclopaedic information about the name Fitch, including a template and external links. Essentially it is trying to be both a dab and a stub article. MOS:DAB makes it clear that a dab is a way of deciding which similarly named article to choose, and should therefore contain only enough information to distinguish between them. It is not a place for encyclopaedic information.

I propose moving the surname information into Fitch (surname), where it can be a stub encyclopaedic article. That would leave Fitch as a pure disambiguation page. Essentially I can see no reason for an article with both dab and encyclopaedic information. I am not suggesting moving people named Fitch to the Fitch (surname) article, as distinguishing between them is also a disambiguation task (was that perhaps the previous proposal?).

I would be interested to hear contrary arguments, but it seems to me that it will take jolly good ones to justify going against MOS:DAB.

Meanwhile I have tidied up the page a bit in line with MOS:DAB (without removing the encyclopaedic information for the moment), and added a good few items. Richard New Forest (talk) 21:29, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

No contrary arguments...? Nearly a month now – if none appears soon, I'll change as proposed. Richard New Forest (talk) 19:27, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Still no contrary arguments, so changed as proposed. Richard New Forest (talk) 20:09, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
