Proposed merge of P. L. Sharma into Payare Lal Sharma

Both articles discuss the same individual, Payare Lal Sharma, and nearly identical content. I suggest that P. L. Sharma be merged with Payare Lal Sharma. Dcotos (talk) 12:45, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Since it is the real name, the short name can be confusing. GrabUp - Talk 12:52, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's not really anything to merge. Just redirect the newer article to the older one. I don't see why this needed a discussion. C F A 💬 13:11, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CFA Both articles were reviewed by the same reviewer, causing confusion, and only one included a politician's image; I have now redirected it as necessary, thank you for your suggestion! Dcotos (talk) 16:54, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
