Talk:France in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest

Year article merges
Hi all- I've boldly merged the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 articles into this summary article. I don't think all year articles should be merged for all countries, but these specific ones consisted of internal selections with little public fanfare or widespread media coverage. The merge basically consisted of identifying who was selected, how, with what song, and how the entry fared at the contest. This level of detail is already the threshold for this article, so a separate article with the same exact information (alongside boilerplate background from this article and contest summaries copy-pasted from other articles) seems like overkill. Additionally, this article already was missing at least 2 years of information, so we were doing a disservice to the reader by scattering that information. More discussion would be necessary for articles with detailed national finals, which would likely not require merges and would remain as separate articles.

 * I understand your reasoning, but I wouldn't do that personally. I feel uncomfortable doing that for recent contests. I get it for earlier contests with less easily-available info on internal selections, but when there's detailed info that CAN be shared (like how the jury voted, and possibly more info on the internal selections if people are willing to do that research - I am not, but I leave the door open and encourage others to do so), it feels weird to have only the one exception be a country that's consistently done well and won twice.
