    Your question has been forwarded to a specialty team for review. This specialty team may contact you should they need further information.

    I notice that this person only died a few days ago, so his profiles have only just become available for viewing by the general public, the respective IDs being hidden in private spaces until now.

    It appears only an administrator will be able to make the merge (hence @CJTobler's action), although the result of this might be that the surviving Orrin Grant Hatch ID might retain its read-only status, due to his position in public life. I say this after reading the comments under his Life Sketch, on LJTF-VRV.
