[edit] Roy Gardner

The three pages on the two people named Roy Gardner had got very confused. The text on Roy Gardner was quite extensive and referred to the 1930s mail train robber; the text on Roy Gardner (bank robber) was very short (a single paragraph) with a 'merge' tag dating from June 2005; there is also Roy Gardner (football chairman). I suggest one of two actions; EITHER, delete Roy Gardner, and put an 'about' tag on Roy Gardner (football chairman) OR Move the text on Roy Gardner (bank robber) to Roy Gardner and change Roy Gardner (bank robber) to a redirect. I've insufficient experience to know which of these would be best. JGF Wilks 14:37, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

• Put the info in Roy Gardner into Roy Gardner (bank robber) and make Roy Gardner a disambiguation page. However, I'm not sure why you've just deleted all the info in the Roy Gardner page and replaced it with a disambig page. We don't want to lose this info. -- Necrothesp 14:41, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I think the only thing that happened was that you responded while I was still in the midst of putting things in the intended place. JGF Wilks 14:51, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• SPEEDY STRONG KEEP ALL: comment: Silly rabit, content disputes are not for afd! You may want to creat a dissambiguation page. --CyclePat 14:43, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep --Terence Ong 15:47, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep current disambig works just fine.--Isotope23 18:24, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep. There is no reason why this should be here at all.--み使い Mitsukai 21:41, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep. Hopefully, the nominator can withdraw his nomination so that it can be speedy kept and the problems, if they still exist, be sorted out by other means. Capitalistroadster 23:19, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• More than happy to withdraw nomination since I was essentially asking if a two item disambiguation page was needed. JGF Wilks 17:28, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep, as the nominator wasn't actually looking for deletion. Use WP:RFC or some other venue for content disputes. Stifle 16:37, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
