Proposed merge with Robb Cullen

This article should be merged with the other article. Both look almost similar. Also, the brothers aren't separately notable, so notability is based on brothers duo writing team. George Ho (talk) 23:28, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge. If all the notable achievements is achieved as a pair, this should be a joint article until the point when there is enough noteworthy independent content (above and beyond trivial personal differences). Precedent exists for the much more famous duo Coen brothers, and all the articles in Category:Sibling filmmakers, as well as articles like Tom and Ray Magliozzi (the Car Talk guys). --Animalparty!

Further evidence needed.
1. Mark's YoB not known to IMDb, but Robb's June 22, 1970 in Phila; unless they're twins, chances are the elder is dominant in which case we probably need evidence against the plausible scenario that the elder made a place that's, as it were, within the elder's own career, in order to be sure the younger found a secure niche.
2. (AFAIK, i.e. iMI&uFO, the Cohens are indistinguishable and interchangable; is it clear whether our putative joint article for them does or not reflect some reality to that appearance?)
3. Robb Cullen was born on June 22, 1970, and thus was 14± when Mark's writing for ep 1.1 of the Smith & Jones (UK TV series) (?) passed its main milestone (green light, start or end of production, airing?).
4. Mark acquired 3 more writing credits for two episodes in 1996-97, before Robb got his first writing credits, secondary to Mark, (16± as of 2000) for an internet video that seems to have been voiced by Robb, secondary to Kelsey Grammer.
5. Robb and Mark seem to share credit, in one order or the other, from then on; my impression is that the order is stable within a project (which IMO probably reflects the practices media lawyers have worked out over the decades, more directly than the actual division of labor).
6. (IMO, if they were twins, the history would make it bizarre to suppose they functioned symmetrically or interchangably; if they are going to share an article, one of its "headlines" should probably be how little is known about their working relationship.)
