I have to ask... which "Mel testing page" were you referring to – this  
one? :-)

	http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tests/Activity/Analyze

I'm fairly sure this was the one specifically being worked on as a  
test case (perhaps ~2 other activities were picked as well but I can't  
remember which ones).

But back to your point, absolutely! A clean-up (try to merge, and/or  
delete) of the old efforts would be a big help. Perhaps marking pages  
for merging could be a fair first pass:

	http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Template:Merge

Also noticed a template for deprecated if data is just plain out of  
date but needs to be kept for historical purposes:

	http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Template:Deprecated

If we get to a stage of 'deleting' I think the usual process (after  
merging useful stuff) is to follow the "what links here" and correct  
those pages so they point to the new authoritative page, modify the  
old page and turn it into a redirect to the new (in case someone has  
an old book-mark, google searchs, or perhaps that page name is what  
people try to type when guessing).
