Robin Bush (historian) → Robin Bush – Robin Bush was created in 2005 about the deceased daughter of former President GHW Bush. It's currently a dab page, which only disambiguates this historian, who is clearly the primary article of the two, and Pauline Robinson Bush, which is currently a redirect to George H.W. Bush#Marriage and college years, where she's only given a passing mention. "Robin" appears to have been her family nickname. Requesting a history merge of Robin Bush to Pauline Robinson Bush, and a move of this article to Robin Bush. This is a complex request, I know, so if I've left anything out or need to request something different (e.g. histmerge templates) I'm happy to do what's necessary. Thanks.

• Support, clear primary topic. The Pauline Robinson Bush redirect gets ~4% of the traffic to the dab page. It can be linked via a hatnote if necessary. —Xezbeth (talk) 07:36, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
• Support per nom and comment. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:18, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Does this page really need to be indefinitely protected?

It's been 14 years. Does a minor presenter on Time Team really needed to be afforded eternal protection from IP edits? In the article history, there was one edit that could be construed as vandalism. Seriously was that was the straw that apparently broke the "Admin's back" and patience!? Something odd was going on back then for this article on a deceased person (who no longer was subject to BLP} to be given permanent protection. Talk about (pardon the pun)....overkill!! 146.199.128.141 (talk) 20:34, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
