Talk:Jack Dwyer

Conversion of Dab back to bio article

   We had in the main namespace

1. Jack Dwyer (a bio)

Then an editor of 4 minutes and 5 edits (2 of those speedy deleted by a 3rd party) did a cut&paste move of the bio to a Dab-suffixed title (as usual, without making note of the preceding author(s)), and overwrote the bio with a non-compliant Dab:

1. Jack Dwyer (a bad Dab of 3 lks, namely the two listed immediately below, and one to John Dwyer in a See-also section )
2. Jack Dwyer (defensive back) (the cut&paste target)
3. Jack Dwyer (musician) (existing only as the red-lk from the Dab)

As to the musician, no info beyond the title is provided, and Google offers no hint of notability.
   A second bio could exist before the Dab that would be needed if the bio were created, but the corresponding Dab entry cannot precede it; pending a clearer need (evidence of the musician's notability) it is hard to imagine anything but primary-topic Dabn with the footballer as primary topic, and a HatNote Dab tag linking to John Dwyer on the bio Jack Dwyer, until then.
   My remedy is

1. merging all revisions of Jack Dwyer (defensive back) into Jack Dwyer, which reunites his bio's text's history,
2. deleting the Dab revisions (lest they disrupt the readability of the bio-purposed revisions' history),
3. adding the HatNote, with an edit summary that acknowledges User:Boleyn's accurate 10:39, 16 December 2011 recognition (in a subsequently deleted edit) that a link to John Dwyer is called for, and
4. making Jack Dwyer (defensive back) a Rdr to the bio.

   I failed to mention that {{db-disambig}} applies to the Dab-purposed revisions of Jack Dwyer; i haven't thot thru or read up on exactly what cut&paste handling would otherwise mandate.
