Merger proposal

• Closing as merged as uninvolved non-admin (FYI @UCO2009bluejay:) SFB 16:09, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

I propose merging David C. Hall into David Hall (athlete). I think that these are the same individuals. I really have no preference on which article should be the main identifier or which should be merged into which.-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 21:16, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

What evidence is there that these are the same individual? Alvaldi (talk) 22:14, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

• Support merge. Jweiss11 (talk) 05:50, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
• Support Upon doing some minor research, really looks like both articles are about the same person.--Dcheagle • talk • contribs 08:01, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
• Support I agree, evidence points to this being the same person. Alvaldi (talk) 08:06, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
• Support Definitely the same guy. SportsGuy789 (talk) 22:02, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Regarding the direction of the merge, I suggest that this might best be to David C. Hall, on the grounds that Hall is notable for more than just being an athlete. That page is also better-referenced, although it is the newer article. Klbrain (talk) 10:00, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
