Purser redirect to this page

I have redirected the article on Atkinson's associate Thomas Walton to this page because it was an exact duplicate of this article other than Atkinson's death notice. There seemed little point in maintaining two identical pages, especially as each is barely two paragraphs long.

The list of sources suggests more information might be available on Walton, so there's no reason why that page cannot be revived in the future. I can't find anything on him in the sources I haveto hand, but perhaps someone with access to the Jowitt works might.

Happy to discuss the redirect if there is disagreement. Euryalus (talk) 13:10, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see that this redirect is helpful, two stand alone articles would seem to me fine and am not sure of what you mean "maintaining two pages". I was hoping for more info on them at some time but.... Anyway I think before doing this one might have discussed it and perhaps even prepared a new page on both of them. Best wishes anyway (Msrasnw (talk) 17:08, 19 July 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Happy to do either of those things - just didn't see the point of two identical pages. If you think it possible there might believes to establish Purser's notability on his own, then two pages is the way to go. Otherwise a joint page is viable too if you prefer it over a redirect.
