Talk:Janine Thompson

Merge discussion

More recently (18 June 2013‎) than this article (22 December 2012‎) another article named Janine Tremelling was created, which (as I believe) actually refers to the same person, born 12 September 1967. I guess Thompson is her maiden name, with Tremelling being her married name. Sources: (1) fr:Janine Thompson and (2) Tennfit tennis profile.

Proposed: keep this (older) article 'Janine Thompson', merge the material from 'Janine Tremelling' into it, and convert 'Janine Tremelling' into a redirect page.

• Support merge, but resulting article should be at Tremelling, as the name she used for most of her tennis career. PamD 20:50, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

• Here are four arguments for the Thompson name:

1. the WTA names her as Thompson; see Janine Thompson at the Women's Tennis Association
2. the Australian Open (her own countrymen!) name her as Thompson; see Janine Thompson at the Australian Open
3. the French wikipedia (a very reliable source on the subject of women's tennis) names her as Thompson; see fr:Janine Thompson
4. Internet items relating to her coaching activities refer to Thompson as much as Tremelling; examples: Mays Tennis Academy, , Tennis Australia Newsletter and more

• Support merge Per nom. All her main professional results from 1985 to 1990 were achieved as 'Janine Thompson' per World of Tennis annuals. Her biography articles in WoT are also under that name,--Wolbo (talk) 16:58, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Per weight of the available sources and WP:BOLD I copied the content from the 'Janine Tremelling' article to 'Janine Thompson' and converted 'Janine Tremelling' into a redirect.--Wolbo (talk) 01:21, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
