Overlap between this and National data protection authority
The scope of this article seems to be quite similar to National data protection authority. That one has a better national list, and this one has better text.

Any interest among editors to try to harmonize these two pages? Not necessarily a merge, but perhaps turning the NDPA article into a "list of" and the other one into a more narrative article? Or merging the two articles (it's a LONG list).

One issue would be nomenclature - "Information Commissioner" seems like it's a title that's taken up by specific countries, whereas "Data Protection Authority" seems to be a more global title.

Cross-posting this to the NDPA page to see if there's any interest there. Oblivy (talk) 14:15, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
