Keywords need merging and redirecting

There are four keywords for references to Franklin Delano Roosevelt:

reference-to-franklin-d.-roosevelt (234 titles)
reference-to-franklin-d-roosevelt (3 titles)
reference-to-franklin-delano-roosevelt (76 titles)
reference-to-franklin-delano--roosevelt (3 titles)

My vote would be to keep reference-to-franklin-delano-roosevelt but 
reference-to-franklin-d.-roosevelt seems more popular. Anyway, 76 is a lot of titles for me to change manually.

Adrian,  there's also the keyword reference-to-fdr (https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=reference-to-fdr, attached to two titles) which should be merged into either reference-to-franklink-delano-roosvelt or reference-to-franklin-d.-roosevelt.

Hi Adrian and Marco -

Thanks for reporting these keyword duplicates, they have now been combined to a single keyword (reference-to-franklin-d.-roosevelt).  Cheers!

It is four years later, and all of these "roosevelt" keywords noted by adrian (and others) are back in heavy usage. That fact illustrates the importance of setting up permanent auto-conversion for these keywords after they are merged, so that they can't be re-created and used again. 

As coincidence would have it, just a few days ago I noticed the heavy usage of all the "roosevelt" keywords (both for Teddy and FDR), and I added all of them to my internal list of keywords to be merged. I will include that in a future merger proposal on this board. Stay tuned...
