Talk:Byzantine North Africa

Redundancy
A lot of this article seems redundant to existing articles. I have removed the infoboxes and the table of exarchs. Srnec (talk) 22:51, 20 August 2023 (UTC)


 * The existing articles do not cover as much as this one. It may make more sense to delete them. 2A01:C23:69D0:4D00:74BC:8CE5:F8DF:86BE (talk) 23:01, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Lest I forget, the existing articles lack sufficient citation. 2A01:C23:69D0:4D00:74BC:8CE5:F8DF:86BE (talk) 23:05, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Merging of articles
As this article is overarching, I suggest merging of the articles Praetorian prefecture of Africa and Exarchate of Africa into this new article, along migrating any information from the two latter into the first. Antisyntagmatarchos (talk) 19:46, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * not sure this is necessary. My preference would be to keep all three, with this one as the overarching article on Byzantine rule in the Maghreb and its culture, religion, demography, etc, and the others covering the two specific political manifestations of that rule in more detail. The topic is certainly broad enough that it requires more than one article, or, put another way, if we crammed everything into one article it would be too large and almost unreadable. And certainly the Exarchate of Africa at least is a recognized topic on its own, part of the same phenomenon of decentralized rule as the Exarchate of Ravenna, and it would not be appropriate to subsume it here entirely.

 * I agree with Cplakidas. I think the articles on the praetorian prefecture of Africa and exarchate of Africa should be limited to administrative, political and military history, while this article can cover social, religious, economic etc. history. This probably requires some trimming or migrating of content in all three places. Srnec (talk) 14:14, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree that these are different topics, on the lines outlined by Cplakidas. Overlap is no problem for WP and already, this article is probably too long (see Splitting). Furius (talk) 18:03, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with all above, it is not necessary to merge the articles, and keeping them separate is better. --Glennznl (talk) 22:05, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
