WP:SYNTHESIS, WP:OR. It's as if someone has written an essay for school. Any salvageable material can be incorporated at the main article at Laurel and Hardy#Style of comedy and characterizations, if not already. -- Rob Sinden (talk) 15:19, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Laurel and Hardy#Style of comedy and characterizations, rather as the nominator suggests. This article was split off from the main one in November 2009 and the topic has since been developed in both places. Since this article has scarcely a reference but contains nothing objectionable in its contents, I suggest redirecting back to the original but leaving the text in the history behind the redirect. Then any enthusiast can rejig things, hopefully with references. However, the present material is too much like an essay to attempt a formal merge.Thincat (talk) 21:31, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
