Philanthropist

The definition is redundant per philanthropy and the list is redundant per Category: Philanthropists. Guy (Help!) 11:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So, like pessimism and pessimist and altruist and altruism, they are Wikipedia:Duplicate articles addressing a single subject that don't need to come to AFD to be merged? ☺ Uncle G 11:35, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Oooh, harsh :-) No, I don't see any need to merge - there's nothing here that needs merging. I guess I could just redirect, but since PROD was removed I anticipate resistance. No separate article is needed, the history is not needed for GFDL (IMO anyway). Delete and redirect is OK by me. Guy (Help!) 13:43, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's possibly because {{prod}} was the wrong tag for a merger, just as {{afd1}} is. {{mergeto}} is the tag, and probably wouldn't have been removed, in part because it points to the article's talk page where a merger discussion appears to be ongoing. ☺ Uncle G 23:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect per Uncle G. MER-C 11:42, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Category: Philanthropists only shows names. Many of them are best known (and maybe only got an article) for other reasons. Their philanthropic work may be mentioned in passing in their article but not be particularly notable. Philanthropist can pick more notable philanthropists and give summary information about the nature of their philanthropic work, giving an overview of information which would be time consuming to collect otherwise. Listings with only name were removed December 8. [1]. The subcategory Category:Founders of English schools and colleges and article Founders of English schools and colleges are closer to eachother but the latter still contains extra information. An article also gives other possibilities not in categories (discussed at Talk:Philanthropist). PrimeHunter 23:56, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect. It seems like it could cause problems, e.g. with redundancy, having two separate articles for philanthropist and philanthropy. PrimeHunter, maybe the idea of creating List of notable philanthropists or some such could be discussed to address your concerns. delldot | talk 00:16, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
