Merges edit

Based on your edit summary here, it looks like you want to WP:MERGE multiple articles here. That can be done boldly, and the pages that have been merged here then redirected and tagged with Template:R from Merge. However, if for some reason there is opposition, you can always follow the process at WP:MERGEPROP. That may be worth doing even for subjects that are independently notable if that is the best arrangement for readers. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:D892:7BE0:247A:EB41 (talk) 18:44, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

This is a reasonable suggestion. Thanks. I see I'm not the first person to tackle this kind of thing, e.g. the work at Archdeacon of Raphoe and Archdeacon of Lismore. And given that, and the decisive outcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arthur Gill (priest), perhaps the approach is to replace the individual archdeacon's pages with a #REDIRECT. What do you reckon? Chumpih t 07:09, 3 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
User:Chumpih yes, that is how WP:MERGEs are conducted, the detailed instructions are at WP:MERGETEXT. I don't think anyone will object to bold merges even if the topics are notable as most of these are pretty short and so the content is likely best presented on one page, though there may be individual exceptions. If any are objected to, formal requests can be opened either individually or in batches. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:6C18:E506:2DA2:2A75 (talk) 15:43, 3 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
