It might be quicker to export John Doe to a new file and edit him there to have the facts of just one of them - say John Doe 1. I think it's probably quicker to delete events rather than copy and paste them. Edit the John Doe in the main file to have the other facts - he becomes John Doe 2. Import John Doe 1 back to the main file and mark them as not duplicates.
