Proposing a merger between the Bryan Woods and Scott Beck articles. The two seem to work together exclusively save for Woods' first credits on Her Summer, and coverage in both articles reflects that exclusive relationship. Both articles are already mostly verbatim copies of each other anyway; it looks like the only big change would be the title (I'm thinking Scott Beck and Bryan Woods since sources consistently order their names that way), lead, and having multiple infoboxes or a combined one.

- AfD is not how you normally propose a merger. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 22:28, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- After the number of times I've proposed a merger on an article's talk page and seen it go nowhere for months, it just doesn't seem like a viable option. And since this technically would involved redirecting both articles to a new one it maybe kinda counts a little? I know that's a stretch, I'm just tired of seeing discussions languish simply because of the venue they're held in. QuietHere (talk) 03:30, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- I would recommend withdrawing this nomination...and then being BOLD and proceeding with the merge. Yes, redirecting to the newly merged page would naturally be a part of that BOLD move. Cielquiparle (talk) 15:11, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- To be completely honest with you, I had assumed the merger process would involve more than just copy-pasting and didn't want to try and learn a whole new procedure, but now that I'm looking at WP:MERGETEXT it looks much more doable than I had figured. Gonna give it a try now and if it works out then I'll withdraw. QuietHere (talk) 15:55, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- Alright, article is now live at Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. Came together nicely methinks. Guess that means this is withdrawn now. @Emir of Wikipedia @Cielquiparle thanks for showing up! QuietHere (talk) 16:59, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
