Requested merge

User:Qwyrxian beleives that this article should be merged into Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration. —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 22:15, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I beleive that it's better if we have a clean and concise list on the main article with a separated and detailed list on this article. The Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration is similar to a foreign affairs ministry and it's important to detail its Directors, but not on its main article. The main article already has a clean and concise list of its former Directors while this article has a detailed view. This is accepted on Wikipedia and is not a violation of any rules. —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 22:16, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, that is not at all what I believe. I believe that this article should never have been split in the first place. Is there a difference? Yes, because in the split, the burden is on you to gain consensus for the new article; in merge, it would be on me to gain consensus to put it into the other article. In other words, the default change. Since this was a split, the default must be to remain with the original article (i.e., separating out the list).

That's not how WP:BEBOLD and WP:SPLIT works bro. Sorry. —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 17:49, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Wikipedia is not paper. Lists of office holders with bells and whistles is a common practice; heck, a huge category is for them. - Altenmann >t 12:19, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
