• Comment, AfD isn't for merging articles. If you intent is to merge the two articles, then withdraw the nomination and merge the articles. --TheFarix (Talk) 12:35, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• I did not check this thoroughly enough. I did a search for FriendsReunited without the space and wrongly assumed that as it wasn't forwarded to friends reunited that the articlke didn't exist. It's not anything I'm particularly interested in. Thought there was no article so I wrote it. There is differerent bits of info in both so I assume they need a merge... I am still a fairly new editor. Once I figure out how to create REDIRECTS and learn to be a bit more thorough with different spellings etc, I will be a bit more productuve! haha!! My article substance came from the ABOUT US page at friendsreunited.co.uk and also the Dec 2005 BBC article about the sale of the company. So... incorporate the missing facts? --TheLedHead 12:40, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Looks like this may be speedied, then? Fiddle Faddle 12:42, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

You want to see it speedied? I thought you wanted to see the info merged? --TheLedHead 12:43, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

• • Actually the process form here to deletion takes enough time for a merge to happen. I should have been more specific. Merge ahead, turn it into a redirect, say here you have done so and this will wither on the vine Fiddle Faddle 12:46, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
    • If the goal was to merge, then this nomination should be withdrawn. AfD is not for the merging of articles, but to delete them. --TheFarix (Talk) 12:55, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
      • AfD has the purpose of improving wikipedia. Results may be merges, redirects, deletions or retentions. All such outcomes are valid. What it does is forces clarity of thought over an article. Fiddle Faddle 13:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Ok. all done. I merged the relevant bits. fixed the many random commas and some other poor grammar. so delete THIS one.. whoever does that... ha! As the creator.. can I delete it? --TheLedHead 12:53, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Withdrawn Page is now a redirect and merged into parent article. OK, I'm bound to have done something wrong here, but no action necessary except Speedy Close Fiddle Faddle 12:58, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

• • Hi TheFarix. I've done my best. I did not put the article up for deletion, but I havce merged the relevant info and the original article is much better than it was factually and gramatically. If you are admin then delete away. I am new... doing my best! The article is definitely improved anyway. Thanks - --TheLedHead 13:00, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

• • Thanks Fiddle Faddle... very helpful!--TheLedHead 13:02, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
