Nominator closing and merging after a month with no discussion. Yeoutie (talk) 11:29, 5 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead are a filmmaking duo and should be merged into one article entitled Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. Each article is essentially a copy of the other with only minor exceptions: each has one sentence devoted to their respective early lives and of course the inboxes reflect their different ages, etc; the other difference is their differing roles on their projects - they have worked on the exact same films and tv shows as each other, with both serving as the directors, producers and editors, but Benson additionally works as a writer while Moorhead additionally works as a cinematographer. I don't think this should pose an issue for a merge as many pages in Category:Filmmaking duos have solutions for this and I think the new proposed article would fit well with those examples; I am specifically thinking of how the articles on the Safdie brothers or The Wachowskis handle when only one person works in a role rather than both. And while both examples are of siblings, the fact they are a recognized "package" should be enough: I was going to list sources to back up their status of being a duo but almost every citation on their pages refers to them as a filming team, duo, or uses similar language. They even have their own template together. Yeoutie (talk) 03:54, 6 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
