Warning: complex argument incoming.

Lists of scientists whose names are used as SI units and non SI units is a list containing two other lists:

I propose Lists of scientists whose names are used as SI units and non SI units be renamed List of scientists whose names are used as units.

Then, merge the content from the two aforementioned sub-lists into List of scientists whose names are used as units and redirect them both to it.

I don't see the reason to fork the two lists out, quite frankly.

So, I guess a complex merge is my !vote.

Delete, followed either by merge of the two affected articles as suggested above, or interlinking them with hatnotes. While there is easily enough material to exist as two separate articles, it's not actually essential; one article with two subsections would do the job just fine. If two articles are wanted, they can reference each other clearly by a number of available means (including just a prominent WL in the lede). This somewhat awkward mini-dab is needed in neither case. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:37, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and then support merge. No reason to separate the two lists. Reywas92^Talk 05:46, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and merge the two lists into List of scientists whose names are used as units - much more useful to the reader. Perhaps even best to merge into one table, with a column for SI/non-SI (or SI-base, SI-derived, non-SI), so that the whole list can be sorted and searched in one go.

Delete - better addressed with hatnotes between lists (or just a merge). Agricolae (talk) 17:53, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
