Merge proposal
I’d like to merge Imran Chaudhri into Humane Inc. Chaudhri is perhaps solely notable in the context of Humane.
For background, Chaudhri’s own page was created in 2018 around the time Humane was founded, by a Wikipedia editor who was paid to create it, I suspect in service of boosting his public profile or raising money for Humane as it read like an advertisement or personal résumé. Some of what still exists is still arguably read this way. I don’t know how important it is that anyone knows he co-created the rearrangement functionality for the iPhone Home Screen, for example.
In any case, most of his article as it stands today is either redundant with that of Humane’s article or is content only relevant within that context. So, I think Chaudhri’s page should be merged into Humane’s.
I’m pinging some people who have edited either of these pages: @Mk17b, IamMisplaced, TheOneCleanHippy, .galenIgh, DividedFrame, WhyIsNameSoHardOmg- -, Flicky1984, and Editchecker123: Louie Mantia (talk) 00:46, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep, Humane is now a past entity and should remain separate. Brad (talk) 02:16, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- RFD; the biographic entry serves no useful purpose that can't be covered by a paragraph on Humane and a sentence on iOS, with relevant citations. —Flicky1984 (talk) 02:40, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- RFD: Chaudhri's page reads like a PR piece. The Humane pin is relevant as a cultural phenomenon, but I think the articles can be safely merged. Lovelac7 18:46, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- No strong opinion on whether he passes WP:BIO.
- As an aside: How can you tell the article was paid for? It very well might be, though it's not on the editor's own list of declared paid-for pages. galenIgh 06:18, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- On the desktop site, the Talk page has a disclosure. On mobile, if you select “learn more about this page” on the Talk page, you’ll see the notice that the original editor “has been paid by Imran Chaudhri on their behalf.” Louie Mantia (talk) 18:07, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
