Requested move 20 December 2021

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved. There is also support for a merger here, but that's outside the scope of this discussion (non-admin closure) (t · c) buidhe 21:55, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hard progeny of the North → Hardy progeny of the North – As is now made clear in the article, "Hard" is a misquote, and should be "Hardy". I don't think it is a good idea for Wikipedia to perpetuate the misquoted form. This article could be merged into Gilbert Wakefield, from whose memoirs the quote is taken. It seems to me that there is some content to the topic, but it is rather specific in historical terms. If not, the article should be at the correct title.

Support merge/redirect - rename if not merged - I think this would likely require a separate Merge Discussion, but I agree this should very likely NOT be its own article. It is a forever-stub. And sure, we can have those. But why, when we can put this content with all the other content about the man who said it? Put it in context, as it were. — Shibbolethink ^(♔ ^♕) 13:39, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merging

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

There is no consensus on merging. Felix QW (talk) 18:42, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So there is some support for the merge, now. In terms of the Gilbert Wakefield article, there is currently no section about his Memoirs: but there could be. The context, as I understand it, is that by 1792 Wakefield had moved to some extreme positions on religion. He wrote the Memoirs partly for income, and partly to argue that all along he had been concerned primarily with theology (rather than mathematics and classical scholarship).

My intention would be to set up such a section, before a merge proposal. Charles Matthews (talk) 20:10, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose on the grounds that the page is a page to describe a group of people independent of Wakefield; these are listed in Hardy progeny of the North#The principal individuals. My view is that this is a sufficiently distinct topic that a merge is not warranted. Klbrain (talk) 17:32, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
