When profiles are merged, what is the expected routine for Profile Managers?

Question

Are multiple Profile Managers expected to remain, or does one have the right to remove the rest?

I would consider it poor form to remove another PM. Much better to approach them and ask if they would like to remove themselves. Alternatively, if you believe there are too many PMs and you are not closely connected, then you might consider removing yourself.

I'm a bit surprised,  but the remaining profile managers have these rights:

Any profile manager can remove another profile manager in these cases, but it should be discussed first. Remember that managers don't own profiles. When discussing who should manage a profile or family line, think of yourselves as volunteers who are dividing up responsibility so that you can get more done.

While I have never removed a  "co manager".... apparently you can.  But consider why you would want to remove another  descendant, etc.,     WikiTree is about collaboration.    If there are 4 or 5 profile managers,  its seems unwieldy,  but who are the best profile managers... it gets complicated.

My approach,  if there are fewer then 4 profile managers.... leave it at that.  And if there  4 or more managers that seem responsible,  I've removed myself as a PM.     (Unless, perhaps it was a profile that I had spent hours and hours and hours and hours  creating the biography)
