List of ambassadors of the Maldives to the United States

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The content is redundant with Permanent Representative of the Maldives to the United Nations since the Permanent Representative is also accredited as ambassador to the US. According to the main source here, even though the Maldives had a separate embassy in Washington, D.C. from 1968 to 1970, the Ambassador was still the UN representative.

 * Redirect to Permanent Representative of the Maldives to the United Nations, per nom. In essence, a WP:CFORK. A small insertion in the lead or a text footnote can help the reader make sense that for a limited time, the Maldives had an embassy in Washington DC too. Pilaz (talk) 11:57, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment It seems customary to dual appoint both roles suggested in the merge. But I note that is not cited. Maybe the list being the same triggers WP:COMMONSENCE, but maybe it's original research. I lean towards common sense. But here's an issue, right now one is a list (this one) but the other is not. So when something interesting happens, and there is a notable event by the person in one of their roles, but not the other, things are going to get weird and we might regret merging them.  So this merge may only look sensible today, when there is no content beyond a list, as soon as some develops, we'll need two separate articles again. So I lean towards keep, but wonder what others think CT55555 (talk) 02:36, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to the UN list. Even if someone at some point gets a seperate appointment to one and not the other office that will not need a seperate list, one list can handle multiple offices especially if they have for most of time been related.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:00, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Merge seems a good end for now, until there's sufficient distinction between the sets (which might never happen). Hyperbolick (talk) 08:45, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
