Palmer-19283 and Palmer-8064 do not represent the same person because: This proposed merge appears to be a "galloping guess" based upon a presumed identity with a particular spouse. The actuarial dates bracketed by the two profiles do not support a merge. If anything, they should prompt a more probitive approach to profile building. If it turns out that the two are in fact representative of the same person then the profiles should be edited beforehand, then the merge re-proposed.
