Merge to Malcolm X#Assassination

The articles Hayer affidavits, Talmadge Hayer, Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson are all stubs. If they aren't expanded, there's no reason why they shouldn't be replaced with a redirect to Malcolm X#Assassination, which could take in anything covered in these 4 articles but not there.The Monster 01:10, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

Similar to the above proposal, I propose that the four articles be merged. But instead of merging them into Malcolm X, which is already very long, I propose:

Merging the four articles here
Adding some context from Malcolm X#Assassination
Renaming this article Assassination of Malcolm X or Assassins of Malcolm X or something similar

We could also include, and expand, some of the material in Malcolm X#Conspiracy theories. What do others think? — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 03:43, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, I'd merge in Leon David and Wilbur McKinley, two of the men accused in the Hayer affidavits. — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 04:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good idea to merge the articles, including the two men above. Renaming it as you suggested would allow you to incorporate what you need.--Parkwells (talk) 16:24, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
