It looks like the description starting at row 17 was written before the first two rows were inserted.
If you want to obtain the desired result without manual editing, you must first have exact rules for what prevails, i.e. about correct formatting and which additions to a cell are useful.
Once you have these rules, you need a lot of comparing: if cells are equal, if one cell's content is a part of another cell's content, and you need case sensitive comparisons.
What might help is using conditional formatting to indicate which cells are equal to the cell in the above row:
select A4:D12 with the mouse starting at D12. Click Format > Conditional formatting.
Under Condition 1, select Formula is instead of Cell value is, use AND(A4=A3;MOD(ROW(A4);3)<>1) as formula, click New Style, choose a name, and select a background colour.
Now it's easy to see which cells don't need to be considered.
