[edit] Nahanni

Duplicates Nahanni National Park article ~~

Improperly signed. Page history says 20:44, 2004 Dec 4 BrentS

Redirect. Oleg Alexandrov 00:49, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Seems like this page was never posted to VfD. I'm finishing the process. Merge with Nahanni National Park Reserve. —Mar·ka·ci:2005-02-16 15:50 Z

Redirect. I immediately recognized the name. Changing it to redirect was so obvious, I just changed it right now. Jok2000 16:59, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: And I just fixed the double redirect this created. What a mess. This redirect has significant edit history, as much of the text now in Nahanni National Park Reserve was originally contributed here. Deletion of a redirect looks a simple decision, but in fact owing to the way we implement GFDL compliance it's on average a little more complicated than deleting an article. That's one reason we have a separate redirects for deletion page. I'm not sure how to untangle this, so no vote for now. Andrewa 17:34, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Sounds like once the dust settles (ie this nom is moved to VFD:Old), an admin just needs to merge the page histories. Niteowlneils 22:11, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

It's not as simple as that either. Unfortunately, these histories now overlap, so merge won't work. Read down on the page you quoted to Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves#A troublesome case. Andrewa 23:38, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Keep as redirect to Nahanni National Park Reserve. Useless redirect but it's not worth sorting the histories out. Andrewa 02:02, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, useless redirect. Megan1967 07:32, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
