Proposed merge into Anglican Province of Lagos[edit]

As part of a project I'm undertaking to make sure we have basic information on the many dicoeses of the Church of Nigeria, I have been merging Anglican Diocese of X articles such as this into Anglican Province of Y articles. My reasoning is that we do not usually have enough content for each diocese to warrant its own separate article; so gathering this information into Province articles seems more viable to me. I made an exception for Anglican Diocese on the Niger because that article was quite substantial. In Lagos' case, the substance of the prose (History) for Diocese and Province was not entirely distinct (and the Province article is older). What do comrades think about the project, principles and particulars of this case (Lagos)? DBD 18:57, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose merge. Generally I think we should keep separate diocesan and provincial articles, with the list of bishops going in the diocese article: e.g. Anglican Diocese of Brisbane/Province of Queensland). It doesn't matter for our purposes which article was first, as long as material is copied across with attribution. Certainly as far as websites go, the diocese is regarded as the main thing: the province doesn't even have a website, but the diocese does. StAnselm (talk) 14:10, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
