Otherwise, a manual merge can be performed leaving the merged page as a redirect. A clear edit summary on both articles, clearly indicating where the content was merged from/to, is sufficient. If necessary a message on the respective talk pages can document the merge.
Sufficient for satisfying people on Wikipedia perhaps! But what about sufficient for the licence we are using? I don't see how it even comes close to providing copyright/attribution information on the content. Having such information available by viewing the page history is one thing - it's another entirely to suggest that it's acceptable to have to go hunting for the old page history on what is now a redirect.
