Talk:First-mover advantage

Merger proposal
This page contains the section First-mover advantage. First-mover disadvantage redirects to this section.

However, there exists also the (somewhat awkwardly-named) page Law of the handicap of a head start, which also discusses a disadvantage of being a first mover.

I propose merging both First-mover advantage and Law of the handicap of a head start into First-mover disadvantage.

 * It looks like First-mover disadvantage is a long-standing redirect to the relevant section on First-mover advantage. I agree that that section, First-mover advantage has some good content that would be better placed on the dedicated page Law of the handicap of a head start. That would also help the rather unbalanced structure on First-mover advantage, where the disadvantage section is large. The move would be consistent with WP:SUMMARY, assuming that we left behind a simple summary with a template:main. Procedurally, I think that this could be done with template:copied.
