Delete dummy person page
Can someone help me delete the following dummy person page XX XX (GC9F-G53)? The child Charles François André (GC9F-J13) has no known father. One relation, with only just the mother, is correct.
How can we represent, in general, that one or both parents are unknown without creating dummy profiles? Just by leaving a note with an alert? Is there also a way to represent it in the tree?

Good morning @Loïc Baert
We users cannot delete profiles. We can edit, or we can correct/remove a relationship, but we cannot delete.
I will sometimes create a placeholder father with just a surname when there are known siblings, but the father's given name is unknown.
If the father's name is unknown and undeclared on the birth registration, a placeholder or dummy profile should not have been created.
I would detach the father's profile GC9F-G53 from the child GC9F-J13. And, then, also detach the second connection between the mother 9937-GLC and the child. That double connection resulted from the merge of the parent.
Hope this helps.
