The result was Redirect to Long Island Sound link. Articles look very similar so any merging can happen from history - Peripitus (Talk) 11:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Long Island Crossing
A virtual clone of this article was created at Long Island Sound link due to a minor process snafu. The new article looks better written, and probably has a better name too. I suggest the best way to fix this would be to have this article be deleted and turned into a redirect to the new one. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:26, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- I never knew about the article until today. I still say if there's going to be a change, relocate this one to the other. ----DanTD (talk) 19:26, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Redirect this to the other article. No deletion needed to do that. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 20:08, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Merge. I've screwed up a few times this way, for example accidentally creating an Andrew Haskell Green article due to misspelling, or found where others made similar mistakes. Such a minor error is a non controversial matter and normally solved by merger. Deletion is supposed to kill the article without trace, a drastic action not needed here. And darn it, I worked a little on this article, and now the new one created by mistake turns out to be better written. So, what the heck, I don't see that one name is better than the other. Cancel the Afd and use the article talk pages to discusss the details of the merger. Jim.henderson (talk) 01:12, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Redirect The other article provides a better view on the subject. Dough4872 (talk) 22:07, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Redirect per Morven. Had I known that this article existed, I would have edited it, then proposed a move. At any rate the page history should be preserved. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 23:56, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- What's the procedure to cancel a deletion notice? Clearly the consensus is, merge, not delete. Jim.henderson (talk) 03:50, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
