Merging the "Operational due diligence" and "Operational Due Diligence" articles

Well the difference in the titles only relates to the capitalization of the first letters of the second and third words. So that is an argument for merging.

However, ODD for fund management and alternative investments is a very different beast to ODD for other businesses. On that basis I would suggest that merging into one article would be misleading because the casual reader would assume that the article was only discussing one topic when in fact it was discussing two.

I suggest that a disambiguation is a better approach.

Hmmm... what we have is perhaps a merge or perhaps just a poor disambiguation to be fixed. Questions:

• One article or two?
• If two, is there a primary topic, and if not is there a case for a two-way DAB?
• If two, what to call the articles?
• If one, what to call it?

Answer to the last question I think is operational due diligence, uncapitalised. So the current (merge?) proposal at Talk:Operational Due Diligence#Requested move does have something to be said for it, it's just not a very helpful way of (re)raising the issue.

Here's a draft suggestion:

• Current article at Operational due diligence moves to Operational due diligence (alternative investments).
• Article from Operational Due Diligence then moves to Operational due diligence as proposed, and a main link is added to it to point to Operational due diligence (alternative investments).
• Resulting redirect remains at Operational Due Diligence pointing to Operational due diligence.
• See also section at Operational due diligence (alternative investments) points to Operational due diligence.

No other disambiguation should then be required.

I'm not 100% happy with the name Operational due diligence (alternative investments) and would particularly like other suggestions. Andrewa (talk) 01:15, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

In that nobody speaks I've done the move. The merge proposal is still open. Andrewa (talk) 23:18, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
