I believe Flook (application)/old history is unnecessary, and should not be used to retain history, but that it should be merged properly or otherwise taken care of using a better method. At this point, the practice of creating pages such as the one I am nominating for deletion is not customary and should generally be avoided. 69.155.128.40 (talk) 21:48, 15 June 2012 (UTC), last modified 22:00, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

History merge to Flook (application). Archives of old history should not be kept in separate pages. JIP | Talk 06:12, 16 June 2012 (UTC)- It's not old history. It's a parallel history. There were two parallel duplicate articles, one at Flook (Application) and one at Flook (application), and one has been redirected to the other after a content merger. Then someone else realized that the merger had been done in the wrong direction and attempted to swap the names to get the capitalization of the disambiguator right, but didn't quite manage it, leaving this redirect here instead of at Flook (Application).

- In that case, a history merge is out of the question. Doing a history merge would make the changes to the article switch between two different versions of the article. The options I propose are either to keep this article as a redirect to Flook (application), or delete it. JIP | Talk 19:28, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
