Merged individuals remain
Have seen several merges where the merged individual remains with the original ID. The original has only lost all family connections etc.
In the changes, I can find the resulting person with the different ID and then I can use the Merge Analysis. All the family connections and family members show up for the final person .
Try ID # GNLN-PP4.

More about the above. The original father of the merged person is sent out to float independantly in the tree in this example which is the same as above. I love the merge analysis, but it has some glitches right now, it seems. Here is that example.
The URL will not share, but here is the ID# GNLV-6VC. When checking the Merge Analysis for this one, you can see his father has been cut off, rather that merged with the surviving father.0 -
@Carole McIntyre thank you for your feedback. It will be forwarded to the proper group :)

What you are seeing is not that "merged individuals remain" but rather that merged individuals (who are actually in a deleted state) are no longer being clearly shown as deleted. They are truly deleted, but because the usual banner that used to make that clear is missing, it's easy to get confused and think that they are still active profiles.
This is not a problem with the merge analysis tool, nor with the persons deleted in the merge mysteriously remaining, but simply the separate problem reported in the post Deleted Banner Missing.
Here are the examples listed above:
- GNLN-PP4 is the deleted profile for Joseph Bottomley.
- GNLV-6VC is the deleted profile for John Brookes.
If you examine either of those profiles, you'll see that they are truly in a deleted state, but the customary banner that used to make that very obvious is missing.

Thank you. You are right, the banner is missing. I suppose the problem is the same as Deleted Banner Missing. Not only is the banner missing, but the details for the original person is also showing, where before it was not. As you pointed out, it is not as clear that the person has been deleted.
On the previous banner page, the ID number for the remaining profile was also listed. It immediately showed you a merge had occurred and who was remaining. and with one click on that new ID you could access the remaining profile. Now you need to access the Changes log to find the new person. If that is the new normal, and will be the correct scenario, it is not as user friendly. Without instruction, direction or familiarity with the Changes log, most would not know why or how the person has lost all family and features, and where to go to access the remaining profile. Maybe this is only a step in the new development and will be clarified soon.

In addition, in the second of my examples, both of the profiles had his own father. In the merge, the father of the merged individual, showing toward the bottom of the merge analysis page, had now become a floating person, unattached to any relationship. He would also need to be merged with the remaining person's father, however, without accessing the merge analysis tool and scrolling down and checking that, you would not know he had been left behind.

The problem has been fixed and the Deleted Person banner is once again shown for deleted profiles.
