George W. Bush's first term as President of the United States

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Proposing a merger and re-direct of George W. Bush's first term as President of the United States and George W. Bush's second term as President of the United States to presidency of George W. Bush. No other (U.S.) presidency article is similarly divided into terms, and Wikipedia's encyclopedic coverage of Bush's presidency would benefit from having one comprehensive Bush presidency article organized by topic rather than chronologically. Including pictures, the three articles are a combined 220k bytes, which is comparable to the Obama presidency article, so excessive length is not a concern. Finally, all three articles need re-writing and re-organization anyway and merging the three articles into one article would be a boon to that effort, which I would at least begin.

 * Procedural close AfD is not the place to discuss mergers. Use WP:Proposed mergers or start a section on the article you want to merge the others into (presidency of George W. Bush). -KAP03(Talk &bull;&#32;Contributions) 19:11, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
