Contested deletion

[edit]

This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because... (your reason here) --Melchior2006 (talk) 05:34, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Shellwood and I have proposed a disambiguation page for George Avery (details on Shellwood's talk page), therefore this new page has become a necessity. --Melchior2006 (talk) 05:34, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Melchior2006 and Shellwood: This page appears to be copied and pasted from an old version of George Avery. This is a bad way to rename a page, because it loses the attribution details. An admin now needs to mend the pages per WP:CUTPASTE, so the old article appears here with its history but without the recent edits that made it a dab, and the dab appears as a new page at George Avery.

thanks for the tip! What other way is there to do it? Willing to learn... --Melchior2006 (talk) 15:33, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Please see WP:MOVE. It's not as complicated as it looks. Sometimes you can move the page easily. If it won't go (usually because there's already a page at the new title) then ask an admin to help at WP:RMTM. There is more useful information in {{Uw-c&pmove}}.

Histmerge request

[edit]

This page is a copy and paste of a recent version of George Avery. Please can an admin do the necessary repairs, leaving Gordon George Avery as an article about the athlete and George Avery as a dab? Incoming links have been fixed. Thanks, Certes (talk) 15:53, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
