- I think some cleanup is still needed. I keep coming across duplicates. Supposedly beyond the identified ones, there are plenty more. Given that @Epìdosis: wants to work with them, we might as well keep them. It seems that most other users don't care or filter them out as well. --- Jura 18:57, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- Duplicates still need to be merged in big numbers (thousands), but this needs human check, as discussed. I cannot provide much more help, but I wouldn't delete anything, as the items are well sourced and, despite duplication, contain valuable information. In fact, it's not the sole import of items being well sourced but also having a high percentage of duplicates, and unfortunately the only way to act in these cases is trying to merge (mostly manually) duplicates. --Epìdosis 21:00, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- If you want to keep them and clean them up, let's close this. Just bear in mind that what you might consider well sourced can be a wiki or tertiary source, with eventually similar problems as Wikipedia in general. --- Jura 21:22, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
