Jane023 added a comment. What you are describing is a Wikipedia merge action, which is indeed common on Wikipedia for various reasons. However, that does not indicate to me that there is any need for a corresponding merge action on Wikidata, as such a merge does not mean the Wikidata items need to be merged. In the case of a Wikipedia merge, the redirect is left "hanging" due to a bug, but in the normal course of things, this should be deleted from the associated Wikidata item. Oddly, what you are describing as an answer to my question is considered a feature by others. I call it a kludge to get what some here want, namely a Wikidata link to a redirect. My question still stands - why would you want to merge two distinct Wikidata items to each other, if one was a person and the other is a duo?
