Merge Children's Past Lives in Carol Bowman[edit]

I propose merging Children's Past Lives in this article, Carol Bowman. Thanks, —Paleo Neonate – 07:47, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Looking at available sources, book is more notable than the individual. - LuckyLouie (talk) 20:27, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Do you think merging Carol Bowman in the book's article would be a better idea? I can't say I really evaluated the author's notability, but the AFD results for the book article were not that convincing. —Paleo Neonate – 06:23, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree there is so little independent sourcing about the author and the book, that only one article is needed. A quick search shows Publishers Weekly, Robert Todd Carroll, and this, and perhaps one other I missed. FWIW, I noticed they all focused on the book, rather than the author. - LuckyLouie (talk) 14:35, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree with the dog. A BLP article with a section on the book is more useful/readable than a book article with a BLP section shoehorned into it. - LuckyLouie (talk) 18:45, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge for better coverage of a single topic. GPinkerton (talk) 02:40, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge, either way, but nicer to have a BLP I think. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 18:41, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support. What Dog said. Springnuts (talk) 07:19, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have redirected the book to this page. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 12:52, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
