Merge

[edit]
Merging these articles would be incredibly misleading to everyone, especially Americans Ώ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Genesis3750 (talkcontribs) 19:50, 27 January 2007
Assuming that you're referring to Manasseh versus Manasses, I agree that they should be merged. Both are effectively disambiguation pages, and they even describe one character in common. Robin S 23:22, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do not merge them. Retain the links and references but to merge would be to confuse people that are searching specifically for the tribe of Manasseh. Todd 18:22, Sep 17 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.236.247.25 (talk) 19:21 & :23, 17 September 2007
  • The merging of Dab pages is seldom a matter worthy of controversy, but this one elicited views spanning 11 months. This one has never been a conforming Dab page, despite quickly attracting a {{hndis}} tag, but i am about to split it into a Dab page and a given-name page. There may be merit to including material from Manasseh on Manasses (given name) (but Manasseh, being a Dab page, cannot be merged with Manasses (given name), nor vice versa).

Merged articles

[edit]

Because of the growing confusion among the various pages, I WP:BOLDly merged content from Manasses and Manasseh into this page (Manasses (given name)). There was a large amount of duplication. Manasses is now a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to this page, and Manasses (disambiguation) will hold all the entries that are not given names. Menashe (surname) has not been changed or moved.

I removed the content that was not about people's names and took it to the appropriate article talk pages: Tribe of Manasseh and Prayer of Manasseh. I have also updated the list of people with the given name; I was not certain if some of the variations belonged here, but put them in anyway. Please {{ping}} me if you need to know more. — Gorthian (talk) 08:10, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
