The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Polyphenol#Potential health effects to Polyphenol#Potential_health_effects. There was agreement that the content should be preserved at the target, and this incorporation has occurred. I did not delete the page history so attribution can be maintained. The redirect is the normal type that any editor can change, but it does reflect the consensus reached during this discussion.

• The article is WP:REDUNDANTFORK. Polyphenols#Potential health effects is very similar.

The page Health effects of phenols and polyphenols duplicates the entry Polyphenol#Potential_health_effects. There has been some divergence in the past and both pages had very different information. In order to maintain consistency, one would have to make sure that both pages are at least similar.

There is however no need to have to pages dedicated to potential health effects of polyphenols.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ggux (talk • contribs)

• It may be better for the general readership to redirect this article rather than deleting it, WP:R. The redirect would go to here among wider topic coverage. Although this article has only 31 editors following it, there have been more than 500 page views in the past month, indicating sufficient public interest to justify redirecting from a web search. Deferring to admin on the outcome. Zefr (talk) 18:22, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  This sounds like a sensible solution if that is feasible, Ggux (talk) 19:21, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• WP:BLAR – I've saved the text. Will conduct a BLAR (IAW Zefr's recommendation) when my WikiGnome brain is rested and can sort out the info – S. Rich (talk) 02:50, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per nom (one page with unified content on a topic) and redirect per Zefr (redirects are cheap and readers seem to find it). But BLAR rather than delete, so that the pre-merged content and attribution-history is preserved. DMacks (talk) 03:01, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I just wanted to clarify, since both WP:BLAR and WP:MERGE have been used in the discussion in potentially confusing ways- these are distinct things. Both result in the source page being blanked and turned into a redirect, but only a MERGE results in content from the redirected page being copied to the target. I assume the target is Polyphenol#Potential_health_effects? It would help for us to identify what content from this article should be copied into the target section.

It's a good point. Sometimes a "merge" consensus involves deleting the original after merging the content, and occasionally not even leaving a redirect. I'm merely agreeing that to the extent others think there is worthy content, it should be unified, and the other page should be converted to a redirect without "deletion" in the admin-special-button sense. DMacks (talk) 22:04, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

With this edit, Ggux apparently copied from the raw content, and pasted the content into the Polyphenols Research section here. The section has been edited since the import, and appears to be accurate. The article that remains now here is outdated. Should the content be deleted, with the title remaining alone?

My comment above to redirect came from assumption that general searches for the 'health effects of polyphenols' would be redirected from this page to the Polyphenols Research section. Zefr (talk) 23:02, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Merge Just merge and redirect the content on "Health effects of phenols and polyphenols" to the Polyphenol#Potential_health_effects article (after merging the content can be cleaned up and/or expanded or trimmed). I don't see any point in having a stand alone article when some of the content is already duplicated on the main article. Psychologist Guy (talk) 16:45, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment This article would just be merged to Polyphenol as there isn't currently a "Potential health effects" section on this article. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:36, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Reiterating from my comment a few lines above: 1) the merge already was done by Ggux on 27 Aug. The entire "Health effects of phenols and polyphenols" article was copied from the edit function (therefore, no history is shown) and pasted into the Polyphenol article under a section called "Potential health effects". 2) Ggux replaced the content of "Health effects of phenols and polyphenols" with an older version that had been under revision and debate, which were discontinued here because the merge was already completed, and this article was nominated for deletion on 28 Aug. 3) the "Polyphenol#Potential_health_effects" section has been subsequently edited, including a change of its subhead to "Research"; the Research section existing there is the entire, edited content of the "Health effects of phenols and polyphenols" article. 4) if editors agree, the entire content of the existing "Health effects of phenols and polyphenols" article can be deleted, with the title remaining and being redirected to the "Polyphenol#Research" section. Zefr (talk) 15:55, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the content has already been merged so this article should be deleted and redirected to Polyphenol#Research. Psychologist Guy (talk) 17:34, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
