We need to come up with a checklist. If all steps in the checklist are true, then it is OK to merge the "names".
Checklist
- The name is a homonym with parent name string matching another parent name string
- The name has author matching target author, if present
- The name has year matching target year, if present
- The name has UCD specific attributes
- A HOST identifier, not a TaxonNameID identifier
... others
Merge steps
- Identify the set of names to be merged
- Ensure no child names exist for the target to be merged
- Identify valid taxon name id, and invalid names
- Rename all OTUs to the valid taxon name
- Move HOST identifiers from "invalid" taxon names to valid taxon names (or, should these be moved to the OTU?!)
- ...
- Destroy duplicate name
