Merger proposal edit

@PalmerWolf, AMM Pittsburgh, and Ipigott: I propose to merge Anna Luboshutz into Anna Saulowna Lyuboshits. It seems they duplicate each other. (Generated using markasduplicate.js.) --Hwem (talk) 07:18, 17 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Yes, this is certainly the same person. Fully support the merger.--Ipigott (talk) 10:14, 17 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

I see a problem here. In English, Anna Luboshutz is the way historians refer to her. And she had two important siblings who had careers in America who went by Lea Luboshutz and Pierre Luboshutz. If someone is trying to track the family, they will have problems doing so using the transliteration of the Russian name. I see no problem with merging the content of the two entries. But the name Anna Luboshutz must appear in the entry so people can find it PalmerWolf (talk) 15:17, 17 March 2021 (UTC)PalmerWolfReply

That's not a problem, Palmer. If the "Lubo" spelling is the most commonly used transliteration in English, that's the one we'll end up using. And whichever spelling "wins", there will be a redirect created from the other spelling, and the lede paragraph of the merged article will reference the alternative transliteration. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:53, 17 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

PalmerWolf (talk) 14:39, 22 March 2021 (UTC)Thank you for explaining how Anna Luboshutz will be retained as a spelling for those who search. I am also concerned that the entry now under Anna Luboshutz is more complete so I assume that content will be retained. I noticed under external links someone put in a concert poster with a photograph purporting to be Anna Luboshutz. It is in fact her sister Lea and should be deleted. The Russian text makes that clear. Ana is mentioned as being part of the Luboshutz trio but it is not a photo of her.Reply

The name can be sorted out with an RM. We can't have two duplicate articles just sitting around; I've moved relevant info (with talk page attribution) from this article to Anna Luboshutz (as it's the older one) and redirected this there as well. Aza24 (talk) 20:43, 10 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
