The result was histmerge to Williams Sassine (completed). We need to maintain the page history for GFDL compliance, and it's clear this all was created as an "accident," so there's not much point debating it. ;) – Luna Santin (talk) 07:43, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think Sandeep Deshpande has nothing to do with Williams Sassine. There was a redirect which I corrected. Williams Sassine now has his own page. I think somehow a prankster put Sandeep Deshpande's name at the top of the Wikipedia page for Williams Sassine. Mr Frosty 19:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Actually, what we have here, from a look at the page history, is Sanjeev dhir (talk · contribs) moving Williams Sassine to this ___location, leaving a redirect that I see the nominator has replaced. I think to preserve the edit history, the existent Williams Sassine article should be deleted, and this one renamed into its place. I think. Tony Fox (arf!) review? 20:40, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I think it's obvious that we need to get rid of this article. The question is how to do that without losing the edit history. Moreover, the text that should be retained is the text currently at Williams Sassine, since that's clearly better. I, however, don't know the best way to do this. Could we move this article to William Sassine (which is a plausible misspelling of the author's name), change that to a redirect, and get the redirect created at Sandeep Deshpande deleted via RfD?
