Merger from Sutton Hoo Helmet (sculpture)

It appeared from the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sutton Hoo Helmet (sculpture) that there was some sentiment for merging Sutton Hoo Helmet (sculpture) into the Rick Kirby article, especially among those who felt that this particular sculpture was not independently notable. I am reproposing that merger on that basis, and opening discussion. I have notified the participants in the Afd of this discussion. As I see it much of the material contained in the scupture article is not actually about the sculpture, and would not be necessary to keep (although it will remain in the redirects history after merger.) --Bejnar (talk) 15:55, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Far more notable than many subjects of such articles. Johnbod (talk) 16:12, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
