So, we have a page called JonTron about one of these video reviewers.

We also have The Middle Ground, which seems to be a page for exactly the same thing and named after...nothing that I can see.

Is there a reason not to merge them?

Same page quote and image give me the impression that they are the same work. Merge.

Looking at the histories, it looks like The Middle Ground is the original, as it hasn't seen a non-administrative update since the Jon Tron page was made. Just cut it.

Merge into Jon Tron. The Middle Ground has 30 inbounds, but even with that I'm loathe to make it a redirect.

Merged them. Given that it has 30 inbounds, I do not like cutting it; anyone disagrees?

I actually find a link count to be a more useful piece of information than how many people have visited. I count four actual links, three of which are from the work's forums, which are registered users only; the fourth came from Tumblr and is unconfirmable.

As far as I'm aware Jon Tron's never worked on anything called "The Middle Ground". This really confuses me. I agree with Willbyr a redirect isn't needed. Just cut it.

OK, what cut reason should I plug in?

[up] "Duplicate of WebVideo.Jon Tron, un-namespaced, and under a name that doesn't appear to be connected to the work or the creator. The proper page has far more inbounds, as well." If you want to say that I gave the go-ahead, that's fine.

The cut request was accepted, so I am requesting closure here.
