Merge for the sake of deduplication. - excarnateSojourner (talk|contrib) 19:44, 29 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
But how? I've taken a run at it, using Google N-Grams search for a , s for noun; very|too for adjective; had|have for verb. DCDuring (talk) 22:34, 29 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
I merged grownup#Noun into grown-up#Noun (since the latter ranked higher in the plural in Google Ngrams). - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 02:05, 22 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Keep all. They are variant spellings, should all be kept. Mölli-Möllerö (talk) 12:37, 21 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Mölli-Möllerö By saying "merge" I meant that two of the three should use {{alt sp}} rather than paraphrasing the others' definitions. I don't think anyone here means to suggest that two should be replaced with hard redirects. - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 20:37, 21 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ok, but don't the pages grown up and grownup already use them? Well, they say alternative form instead of alternative spelling, sure, but either one is fine for me. Mölli-Möllerö (talk) 20:42, 21 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Mölli-Möllerö Some, but not all. It appears the only senses which are still duplicates are the noun senses at grown-up and grownup (which have translations that should be merged). - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 21:06, 21 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ok, I've now discarded my vote. Mölli-Möllerö (talk) 07:44, 22 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Abstain as only one of these has (the one with a hyphen) translations, I don't see much benefit or harm in merging. Of course, this is given that all pages remain as content pages and not redirects, as discussed above. Mölli-Möllerö (talk) 07:43, 22 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
