The result was speedy merge to Mariology of the popes. As with the others articles in theis group, a speedy merge is the obvious and inevitable conclusion here. Nobody, including the nominator, has any arguments against doing that DGG ( talk ) 16:10, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Mariology of the popes. Why delete text that relates to an existing article? No clear reasons are given that the merger will not benefit more than an outright deletion. Merger will be suitable to preserve the material given that the main article Mariology of the popes clearly relates to it. History2007 (talk) 20:39, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge ~~Speedy redirect~~ with Mariology of the popes, since ~~the content has already been merged~~ and this is a likely search term. Article is a content fork, but not a POV fork, so I highly doubt anyone would contest a redirect. As WP:BEFORE mentions, "consider turning the page into a useful redirect to an existing article – something you can do yourself without opening an AfD case".--res Laozi speak 21:47, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There is content here that is not present in Mariology of the popes, so a merge would be more appropriate. What is the rush for speedy? These popes died years ago, a few days will not make s difference, and a merge can handle it in a smooth way without loss of content. I do think there is need for consolidation, but let us not lose content and do things in an orderly manner. History2007 (talk) 23:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is true. My comment was made before I realised the nom was mass nominating Mariology related articles, so I assumed in good faith that he was accurate that the article was content fork. You've made a good point, and I've switched to a merge accordingly.--res Laozi speak 00:19, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, these are "mass nominations" as you stated. There were several more, and an editor stated (correctly in my view) on another nominated page that they are cases of WP:POINT as a result of other events. History2007 (talk) 01:58, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
