Deborah Archer. This search term is more likely to be searched. If necessary, create a redirect.

For some reason, there's no consensus yet. Consider keeping both search terms.

I agree about leaving the page here but keeping
Deborah N. Archer as a search term. So far it’s looking like that’s what we’ll do just by default. Don’t worry, it’s pretty common on Wikipedia for things not to get an official closure because everyone feels ok leaving it as is, so it doesn’t always need to be said formally. A formal close is mainly necessary as part of resolving disagreement.

Everything checks out, and the hook is interesting. The article is free of close paraphrasing on the basis of spot checks. The two hooks are basically the same, but I think that the first hook is more punchy.

Hi
AnotherEditor144, I’m wondering if you wouldn’t mind, well, clarifying! what issue you were flagging
here. I’d be happy to try to improve it, I’m just not sure what’s been asked. Thank you.
