These should be merged, not deleted. An important aspect of the web is stable and persistent URLs. If someone has saved a reference to these URLs, they should be able to follow the redirect to the current location of the information. Two cases where things should not be merged are: - a conflated author record which has works from multiple author records mixed together. This is just garbage that will never be useful to anyone, so can be deleted. - an author record with too little information to reliably merged Tom _______________________________________________ Ol-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-discuss To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
