Talk:List of Scottish council areas by area

Data from OpenStreetMap
Here's some figures I just calculated from OSM today: These agree reasonably well, apart from Na h-Eileanan Siar, which isn't correctly mapped (Lewis is shown instead) and West Dunbartonshire turns out a bit bigger than claimed here. I don't know whether that's a mapping error, a Wikipedia error (where's the citations for this page?) or a genuine change. Coastal boundaries tend to be a problem, as OSM uses the high-tide line instead of the low-tide line for many of the counties.

Why does this article exist?
Why does this article exist? It contains only one table, which (along with List of Scottish council areas by population and List of Scottish council areas by population density) can easily be combined into one - and guess what, they have been, at Subdivisions of Scotland. I propose that all three of these articles either be redirected to the Subdivisions article under WP:OVERLAP or at least merged into one article. Having three for these basic statistics is nonsense.
