Nothing about children, his or that of other people: Merge into where that's covered

The lead of M. Moran Weston has:

He opposed a school boycott "by arguing that it did no good to keep children out of school." The article also has a section about his children.

The older article's benefits will enhance those sections where it can improve the newer one, and respect how others knew him. Not to let Google research be given too strong a voice, but a search for Milton Weston has #2 as his NYTimes Obit "M. Moran Weston, 91, Priest and Banker of Harlem, Dies." Children, his own and those he cared about, seem important enough to make M. Moran Weston the article into which to merge Milton Moran Weston II.

P.S. The TalkPage at the older article had no comments, just:

Time awaits nobody

Even as I was doing the above, M. Milton Weston was deleted. Plan B: improve this article, then deal with getting how he was known as the main article, with redirect(s) as needed. Pi314m (talk) 16:54, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly M. rather than Milton

@John B123: I've incorported the details of both articles into the older one's shell, correcting some details of the latter. Yes, at some point "Milton" was used, but that is not how his name is recorded in the institution that is the source of his religious ordination, which says "The Reversand M. Morgan Weston, Jr." "Milton" is not part records for National Negro Congress; they have "M." (and no ' II').

"II" is unusual, since the standard sequence is Sr, Jr, III, IV, etc. You asked that I reply to the note you left on my TalkPage. Are you able to make the proper move/redirect(s)? Most of his life and legacy refers to M. Milton Weston, not II, not even Jr. Milton is not part of that. II is questionable. The pattern of wiki articles is to name after how the person is best known. Pi314m (talk) 10:51, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The identifiers in the "authority control" section of the page (Library of Congress etc) use "Weston, M Moran" so I agree "M. Moran Weston" is the WP:COMMONNAME. I'll make the necessary moves. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 11:13, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
