Talk:Mary Louise

Merger proposal

I propose that Marylou, Mary Lou, and Mary Louisa be merged into Mary Louise. I think that the names are all close diminutives and variants of Mary and for claity and ease of searching a single page would be beneficial. Currently each individual article is either in list form or a stub, and a single combined page may prompt someone to extend the content without having to duplicate their work.

Following this proposal with no comment after nearly 2 years, and the listing at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers, I have created a new page Mary Louise (name) and selectively merged Marylou, Mary Lou, Mary Lou (name) into either Mary Louise or Mary Louise (name) as appropriate. Mary Louisa was already merged. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:35, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As the creator of the dab page at Mary Lou, where no notification was made, I object to the merger. I have reverted and tidied up, so that we now have disambiguation pages at Mary Louise, Mary Lou and Marylou, all linking in "See also" to each other and to the name page at Mary Louise (name) which includes all variations. Given the number of books, ships, films, etc with titles "Mary Lou" etc, this seems to me to work best. Apologies to Shhhnotsoloud for undoing their work. I think I've cleared up all the incoming links which need fixing (some long-outstanding), and have added a couple more entries to this dab page as a result of researching them.
