Is a matching title enough to merge rows?

No. Compare final URL, item identity, visible options, and evidence context.

What is an exact duplicate?

Two rows whose identity, selection, evidence source, and intended task are materially the same.

Preserve the redirect or replacement history before choosing the surviving row.

Only into a parent record that keeps each option distinct; otherwise retain separate rows.

They explain what was reviewed and prevent useful context from disappearing silently.

When source identity, option mapping, or evidence timing cannot yet be reconciled.

Decision record

The record is useful when it shows both the current decision and the evidence boundary that could reopen it.

Decision column 1: known now must remain explicit in the saved record.

Decision column 2: not observable must remain explicit in the saved record.

Decision column 3: conflict retained must remain explicit in the saved record.

Decision column 4: next evidence must remain explicit in the saved record.

A static answer should never disguise a changing platform detail.
