- Merge for the sake of deduplication. - excarnateSojourner (talk|contrib) 19:44, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
- But how? I've taken a run at it, using Google N-Grams search for a [gu], [gu]s for noun; very|too [gu] for adjective; had|have [gu] for verb. DCDuring (talk) 22:34, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
- I merged grownup#Noun into grown-up#Noun (since the latter ranked higher in the plural in Google Ngrams). - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 02:05, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Keep all. They are variant spellings, should all be kept.Mölli-Möllerö (talk) 12:37, 21 April 2022 (UTC)- @Mölli-Möllerö By saying "merge" I meant that two of the three should use
{{alt sp}}rather than paraphrasing the others' definitions. I don't think anyone here means to suggest that two should be replaced with hard redirects. - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 20:37, 21 April 2022 (UTC)- Ok, but don't the pages grown up and grownup already use them? Well, they say alternative form instead of alternative spelling, sure, but either one is fine for me. Mölli-Möllerö (talk) 20:42, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Mölli-Möllerö Some, but not all. It appears the only senses which are still duplicates are the noun senses at grown-up and grownup (which have translations that should be merged). - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 21:06, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- Ok, I've now discarded my vote. Mölli-Möllerö (talk) 07:44, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

- Abstain as only one of these has (the one with a hyphen) translations, I don't see much benefit or harm in merging. Of course, this is given that all pages remain as content pages and not redirects, as discussed above. Mölli-Möllerö (talk) 07:43, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
