There were 9 dated 'christening' events -- same name, same date, and 4 more without a date. There were also two 'immigrant' events (duplicate) with a date and two more without a date.

Merging of profiles ought to also look at the events for duplicates, not just "blindly merge" the events.

I'd have to agree that this is what "should" happen. It is a pain to have to manually delete all the duplicate events. Problem, though, I think, is that writing up an algorithm for that is a bit problematic, particularly since a variation of a word in the description of the event can still result in 13 different christenings and multiple immigration events.

true ... but of the few instances I've seen so far, *most* of the duplicates are identical - at least in name and date. For more "complex" events, sure there might not be an easy algorithmic way to say "these are the same", but even a few simple checks would be helpful.

I should mention here: I put in a "Feature Request" about this: http://help.geni.com/entries/20667003-when-merging-profiles-also-me...
