[edit] Mieris

As I was proofreading some 1911 articles, I came across this (which I had imported a few weeks back); I then followed some of the links and discovered that each member of the family mentioned in the 1911 article has a separate article in Wikipedia (usually with an image as well). I think we should delete this article since its the same information as in the separate articles (Frans van Mieris, Sr., Willem van Mieris, and Frans van Mieris jr.. I imported it without searching deep enough; my bad. --FeanorStar7 01:00, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge any useful information into the individual articles and turn it into a disambiguation page. --Aim Here 01:44, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Aim Here took the words out of my mouth: merge anything of value and then {{disambig}}. --Kinu t/c 01:51, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Since this is a self-nom, would it be out of line for FeanorStar7 to just do the merge then ask for a speedy close? Thatcher131 02:31, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Nope, it would be the best way. Uncontroversial manouvers don't need AFD. In fact as a user in good standing, if there's no delete votes at the time he can close the debate himself. --kingboyk 06:38, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Disambiguate, taking whatever info isn't duplicated already and adding it to the articles. Don't need AFD for this. ProhibitOnions 10:33, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Disambig and merge Straightforward here. --Larsinio 19:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Hi all, thanks for your input; I agree about the disambig and merge; how long do I have to wait until I can go ahead and do it; I seem to remember there is a time frame of 5 days before a final decision is made? --FeanorStar7 23:44, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
You can do it now. The 5 days timeframe is for actual deletions, not for edits, which are allowed throughout. If the unexpected happens and we're inundated with a late flood of votes saying 'DELETE THIS MOST BOGUS ARTICLE NOW!!!!', the article can still be deleted. --Aim Here 00:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Disambiguation complete; hope I did it right; feel free to correct or add info. --FeanorStar7 01:11, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep Could use a merge. --Masssiveego 05:10, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
