Propose merging into Individual Neutral Athletes at the 2024 Summer Olympics: It contains almost the same content. -- Sangjinhwa (talk) 16:03, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  • Support – I'm not exactly sure what's happened here, whether this is an attempted cut & paste page move, or the other page was created accidentally due to misspelled title or not knowing that redirects exist. But they definitely contain the same info more or less, "Individual Neutral Athlete at the 2024 Summer Olympics" should be redirected to "Individual Neutral Athletes at the 2024 Summer Olympics". (The difference here is the letter 's' after 'Athlete'.) — AP 499D25 (talk) 02:26, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Support - it looks like the same user created both articles 9 months apart, then is trying to manually merge them in a good faith edit, while most people make changes to the plural title because that's the natural title and the one linked in the Paris 2024 article.
I'm also going to guess that someone's going to ask why the flag says "Individual Neutral Athlete" (singular) while the proposed merge destination is "Individual Neutral Athletes" (plural). My answer is that (1) This discussion already came up with "Olympic Athlete[s] from Russia" in 2018, where the delegation's emblem was singular but the article title was plural, resolved in favor of the plural version, and (2) The IOC themselves use the plural version in prose where it sounds natural.
