Draft:Mary Patten[edit]

There is already an article on Mary Patten in the mainspace. I incorporated the relevant information from this article which wasn't in the article on mainspace. There is no need for this draft any longer. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 15:58, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question - In general practice, what procedure is there (if any) for when a page is created for which there already exists a draft. (This draft was created before the mainspace article). If the nominator has already incorporated material into the existing article, there's not really a reason to keep this draft, but if we have a draft that has content used in a later-created mainspace article, is a history merge possible? — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 20:48, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to mainspace version. The addition with this edit is fine and all but it doesn't give the full attribution to the original creators to the content which can only be done if the link in the edit summary goes to a valid article. We need to keep this draft but since it's not in use, we may as well redirect. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:42, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
