These two are a match and I re-proposed the merge with these comments:  

These two are duplicated profiles.  See Familysearch https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/family/LHZK-4QS .  Dates match.  Son on Wisdom-866 matches a son on the Familysearch.org profile.  Brothers and sisters on Wisdom-675 match the profile on Familysearch.org.  Please approve and merge or explain why this merge is rejected.

needs better sourcing on the profiles
What other type of sources do you suggest? I've looked for the most common ones. I believed his living with his Mother Sarah Wisdom and sister Sarah  in 1850 and 1860, would be enough to prove he was William Wisdom's (d 1842) son.
I didn't intend to offend you. My apology. It just occurred to my mind that a merge might be more agreeable to the other profile manager that instead of just stating for example 1850 census, one might provide the content of the census record. The other manager is new to wikitree and may not have the ability to seek the census record in familysearch or Ancestry.

Again, my apology.
I wasn't offended. i just wanted guidance as what other sources I might be looking for. I will post the 1850 census as you suggest.
