[edit]As we have an article for each of them do we need a third? (Emperor (talk) 23:15, 16 September 2008 (UTC))
- It's a good question. I agree that three entries is redundant, but I didn't really have a precedent — are there other husband-and-wife writing teams? Obviously, Tom and Mary have slightly different biographies, but otherwise their writing career is identical. If anything, I think it makes more sense to keep a single Tom & Mary entry than have separate ones for both of them. — Stoshmaster (talk) 02:14, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
- Personally I like the "normalisation" and the reduction in replication but I have yet to see much precedence for it. I had a look at around and found Gilbert and Sullivan (which makes sense as the term itself is notable as is their collaboration) and I found another one where the individuals didn't have their own articles as well as collaborators whose names are commonly given together who don't have joint articles (like Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. I have yet to find anything similar to this though. (Emperor (talk) 03:41, 18 September 2008 (UTC))
- I could see a joint article or two individual articles, but having all three seems redundant to me as well, especially since there's no notable divergence in their published work (unlike, say, the partners Rodgers & Hammerstein). For now, I think it would be simpler to have one joint article à la The Brothers Hildebrandt. As far as I know there is no Wikipedia guideline for this, and there probably doesn't need to be. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 19:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I combined the bios and other details from their individual entries into this one. Who wants to take control of deleting the individual entries and creating the proper redirects? Stoshmaster (talk) 14:33, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
