Porter-2363 and Porter-2315 are not ready to be merged because: Not enough information is currently available to determine whether or not these two are indeed the same people.

Porter-2363 and Porter-2315 appear to represent the same person because: Hello, these profiles have been set as unmerged matches for almost three years. Could the PMs take a look and if they do not think these are the same person, reject the match or, alternatively, approve the merger if they are? Thanks very much for helping to prune the Wikitree!!!
