The result was move Chel to this name leaving a redirect. This effectively deletes this page. However, the entire content of this page has been copied and pasted from Chel, that is the earlier version, so no history merge is required. I am not adding the alternative name to the lead as I can't find a reliable source but this can be done, later, as a normal editorial action.

• Delete clearly duplicates Chel. Lorstaking (talk) 04:39, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, then rename Chel to Chelrood. Clear duplicate. The other one is better sourced and earlier - but on the wrong name. Icewhiz (talk) 15:09, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "Delete then rename" sounds like acknowledgement that the name is valid, and then that the correct decision here should be "redirect" with possibly Move to follow. User:Icewhiz does not provide any argument why "delete" would be appropriate. --Doncram (talk) 08:43, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• This is a duplication of Chel. There is nothing worth merging from this stub into the other stub (which is better developed) - with a single exception - that this stub (Chelrood) has the correct title. Had there been mergable content - I would be advocating a merge.Icewhiz (talk) 09:48, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect. If it is a duplicate article, then no AFD is necessary. Simply redirect from one valid alternative name to the other name, and note both valid names in the lede of the article in bold. If you think there could be disagreement about such a redirect/merger, then set up a wp:RM merger request at the Talk page of the intended target, but here I doubt that it is controversial. Since it is known by two names, as far as I can tell, then "Delete" is invalid as an outcome here. A redirect is needed. --Doncram (talk) 06:56, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and rename per Icewhiz. SportingFlyer talk 07:24, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• I don't see how "delete and rename" could be sensible. I just inserted comment below Icewhiz's !vote. I see no justification provided by Icewhiz or User:SportingFlyer why deletion is necessary. Why not simply redirect (and also possibly move)? --Doncram (talk) 08:43, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
