[edit] Merger proposal

Merge - duplicated information; John Cura is exclusively known for tele-snaps. Rapido (talk) 14:27, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Merge but under the title of John Cura with a section devoted to Tele-snaps within it, and redirects from both Tele-snaps & Telesnaps - it should be remembered that he was also an inventor (perfecting his camera) and author too...Zir (talk) 11:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Would support the merge proposal overall but oppose strongly proposition, by User:Zir above, that Tele-snaps should be absorbed in John Cura. Cura isn't really notable for anything other than Tele-snaps, at least these days (40-odd years ago I suppose he would have been better known for his books on tuning televisions but that is not the case today). A quick check shows that 23 articles link to Tele-snaps and only 10 to John Cura, a 2-1 majority. It makes more sense to me that people writing articles would want to directly wiki-link to Tele-snaps than Cura since the meaning of the term is obscure to most people bar those with a particular interest in nineteen-fifties and sixties British television. - Joe King (talk) 18:36, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
