The result of the move request was: Moved. There is also support for a merger here, but that's outside the scope of this discussion ( non-admin closure) ( t · c) buidhe 21:55, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Hardy progeny of the North – As is now made clear in the article, "Hard" is a misquote, and should be "Hardy". I don't think it is a good idea for Wikipedia to perpetuate the misquoted form. This article could be merged into
Gilbert Wakefield, from whose memoirs the quote is taken. It seems to me that there is some content to the topic, but it is rather specific in historical terms. If not, the article should be at the correct title.

So there is some support for the merge, now. In terms of the Gilbert Wakefield article, there is currently no section about his Memoirs: but there could be. The context, as I understand it, is that by 1792 Wakefield had moved to some extreme positions on religion. He wrote the Memoirs partly for income, and partly to argue that all along he had been concerned primarily with theology (rather than mathematics and classical scholarship).
My intention would be to set up such a section, before a merge proposal. Charles Matthews ( talk) 20:10, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
