Merge with Irish constitutional plebiscite, 1937

Both articles are relatively short as far as text, with a small amount of duplication between them. I don't see a benefit of having them as separate articles, whereas if they're the same, a reader can easily going from the discussion and background to reading the actual results. —Iveagh Gardens (talk) 15:27, 25 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Support. Probably an unintentional fork.
The title of this article should persist since "plebicite" really only means referendum. I'm not altogether sure that "enacted" is technically correct since it is not a conventional Act of Parliament but then again it is an Act of the People (without intervention of TDs) and so is an equally valid use of the word, surely. --Red King (talk) 12:55, 30 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Caution. The Republic of Ireland article has a sentence that reads Following a national referendum, on 29 December 1937 the new Constitution of Ireland (Bunreacht na hÉireann) came into force. So if the articles are merged, the plebiscite article needs to redirect to a section on the referendum specifically rather than redirect to the whole article. It would be wise to check every usage to make sure that the links still make sense. --Red King (talk) 13:24, 30 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Re "enactment", would "adoption" be a better name for the article? —Iveagh Gardens (talk) 15:14, 31 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
