Merger proposal
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
To merge as proposed; short text, overlapping history, and context. Klbrain (talk) 15:56, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The information at Eskam's daughter page is mostly the same as at Eskam (to the point that until I remove it this page also repeated an etymology of Eskam's name). Eskam's daughter's name is not known and she performs no action besides being the daughter of Eskam whom Attila marries. The additional information (assuming it is kept - it's partially sourced to Voltaire) can simply be incorporated at Eskam's article.--Ermenrich (talk) 19:47, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, merge. Srnec (talk) 19:43, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. And material verified with references to more than hundred-year-old books should also be deleted. Borsoka (talk) 02:52, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support the idea of a merge, but disagree with the concept that material support only by old references should be deleted. If it hasn't been refuted by modern scholarship then it should be kept; to do otherwise is surely the vanity of recentism. There's also the question of the target: if Eskam is notable only because of the confusion over his daughter, then it would see that Eskam's daughter is the more notable topic. Klbrain (talk) 23:43, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The thing is the stuff from e.g. Voltaire is no longer a valid position in modern scholarship. I hardly think that not including it is recentism. If it remains it needs to be framed as reception or something.—-Ermenrich (talk) 00:28, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
