These two cemeteries need to be merged but not sure which one should be kept.

and

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Porter_Cemetery%2C_Sadieville%2C_Kentucky

These represent the same cemetery. Any help would be appreciated. It looks like the cemetery is located in a rural area close to Sadieville. Porter, Kentucky is an historical place name and according to old maps is located at or near the modern day cemetery location. The mailing address for the cemetery is 1238 Porter Road, Sadieville, Scott County, Kentucky 40370 and is located on the property of Porter Christian Church. Thanks for any assistance in this matter.

Honestly, using other than what Find a Grave has as the location often causes duplicates to be created. I use what is in the Find a Grave name lately just because of so many duplicates. THEN in the CIB, I use the correct location by Google maps. Click around the cemetery in Google maps and it will show you the township (if it's a cemetery in a state with townships) or the county or town.  In this case, the cemetery is "out there" in Scott County, Kentucky, so I'd keep Sadieville, but fill in location=Scott County, Kentucky.

I have renamed the Porter category and edited the Sadieville category to reflect this information.
