Contested deletion

edit

This article should be merged with the existing one, as i have not intentionally created duplicate page. This was an "accident". Two hours ago, i have already posted a request at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/964251592 for the same. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 14:32, 24 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

TheBirdsShedTears, I've declined the speedy deletion request and replaced it with a {{merge}} tag, as even if there was nothing at this article worth merging it would still be better to keep this page as a redirect rather than deleting it. At this point, all that there's left to do is to identify content worth merging and do it, which you may be able to do yourself. signed, Rosguill talk 17:36, 24 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Rosguill:, I tried a lot to read and find the technical guide of "merging", however i failed to do so. My "merging knowledge" is very poor and don't know how things work on Wikipedia when it comes to technical issues. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 17:46, 24 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
TheBirdsShedTears, did you look at WP:Merging#How to merge? signed, Rosguill talk 17:50, 24 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Rosguill:, Thank you. Which one do i need to merge? Should i redirect old page to new one or new to old page? TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 17:55, 24 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
You should merge to whichever article seems like the WP:COMMONNAME based on coverage in English-language reliable sources. Scanning the titles of references in both articles, it looks like Muhammad is the more common spelling, but you should examine it a bit more carefully. signed, Rosguill talk 18:09, 24 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Rosguill:, Please fix remaining issues. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 18:48, 24 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
