A bit lazy, but the other desk was getting crowded, and rather than spend time clearing it, here is a brand-new, shiny, clean one! :-)

Lists of redlinks of scientists

CBD's references structure:

Verification of details about the stories/setting - Inline references to primary sources
Verification of interpretations and commentary - Inline references to secondary/tertiary sources
Establishing notability - Page footer references to texts providing significant coverage of the subject

Open edit window at stub (PAGENAME A)
Cut text from stub, leaving categories and inter-wikis behind
Open edit window at merge location (PAGENAME B)
Paste text into correct position at merge location
Add div-id tags or section header at merge location and format layout
Save with edit summary "merge from [[PAGENAME A]]"
Go back to stub and put "#REDIRECT [[PAGENAME B#PAGENAME A]]"
Add the right 'Middle-earth redirects' category (see Category:Middle-earth redirects)
Save with edit summary "merge to [[PAGENAME B]]"
Click the redirect link to make sure it works
If present, remove {{ME-project}} from the redirect talk page
Consider archiving talk page discussions to a more visible location
Check for redirects pointing at the new redirect, and fix these double redirects if any

These are effectively merge destinations.

Incomplete list and some notes on other merges.
