Proposed merge of Deborah N. Archer into Deborah Archer

Duplicate articles, merging into more complete version but will keep both search terms. Innisfree987 (talk) 20:41, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge complete; conversation pending on whether page should live at Deborah Archer or Deborah N. Archer. Innisfree987 (talk) 23:53, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deborah Archer. This search term is more likely to be searched. If necessary, create a redirect. AnotherEditor144^{talk contribs} 21:35, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason, there's no consensus yet. Consider keeping both search terms. AnotherEditor144^{talk contribs} 09:02, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree about leaving the page here but keeping Deborah N. Archer as a search term. So far it’s looking like that’s what we’ll do just by default. Don’t worry, it’s pretty common on Wikipedia for things not to get an official closure because everyone feels ok leaving it as is, so it doesn’t always need to be said formally. A formal close is mainly necessary as part of resolving disagreement. Innisfree987 (talk) 15:51, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Everything checks out, and the hook is interesting. The article is free of close paraphrasing on the basis of spot checks. The two hooks are basically the same, but I think that the first hook is more punchy. Nick-D (talk) 08:57, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification

Hi AnotherEditor144, I’m wondering if you wouldn’t mind, well, clarifying! what issue you were flagging here. I’d be happy to try to improve it, I’m just not sure what’s been asked. Thank you. Innisfree987 (talk) 21:18, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Most people does not know what "cum laude" means; i.e., jargon. AnotherEditor144^{talk contribs} 21:22, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I’ve rephrased and linked the term, hope that’s an improvement. Innisfree987 (talk) 22:37, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
