[edit] proposed merger

self-explantory, they're almost duplicates, Chofetz Chaim had been a confusion of Chofetz Chaim (disambiguation) and Yisrael Meir Kagan (have copied material from here that wasn't there). alternatively Chofetz Chaim could redirect to Yisrael Meir Kagan and Chafetz Chaim (book) stay as it is. need feedback on this no idea which usage wld be more common. (NB: different spellings of cho/afetz, it took me a while...)  ⇒ bsnowball  09:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

• agree i was intending to clean up that area some time ago, never got arround to it. frummer 19:46, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

How do you go about doing this?

• while using redirection may be a good idea so as not to have content in three places, I recommend Chofetz Chaim as the primary location for content, because this is the common usage. Chafetz Chaim(alternate spelling) and Yisrael Meir Kagan(real name) and Israel Meir HaCohen Kagan(longer alternate spelling of real name) are secondary usages and should redirect. His book might be referenced as a link, so that from the Chofetz Chaim page one can drill down to discussion of the book.

Gabriel: I agree with the previous post on how to divide, but i suggest creating a book section under the Chofetz Chaim's main page, with the link to the Sefer Chofetz Chaim book page (if it will be created, or not). The page could be called Sefer Chofetz Chaim, to avoid confusion.

Can you please clarify what you are proposing? Are you suggesting one joint page for the person and sefer Chofetz Chaim (makes sense to me)? or a separate page for each?--Redaktor 18:06, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
