The result was Merge. Since there are two users who appear to be actively working out the details that will save me the work of trying to do the merge myself, right? I'm okay with that... &mdash; Scientizzle 15:42, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

List of premiers of British Columbia by time in office

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Seems redundant to List of premiers of British Columbia - rather than outright deletion, I'd suggest merging the two together at one title or the other (probably List of premiers of British Columbia) and making the other a redirect. No sense in having two articles that basically list the same information. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 07:05, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: I do realize I could have simply placed a mergeto tag on the article, but I'd prefer this see some active discussion as I did consider nominating this for simple deletion. Merge tags tend to be ignored for a long while anyway. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 07:07, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge but work with Arctic Gnome. Next time use the merge tag.  If you are not opposed after a reasonable time, do the merge.  --SmokeyJoe 23:47, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's a bit redundant, but I separated the two because I'm trying to standardize the formats of the Canadian first ministers lists, and some of them have more extra information than others. If we were to merge all of the "lists of Xs by Y" into a big table for each of them, ones like List of Prime Ministers of Canada would get way too big; it has sixteen such lists!  --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 08:57, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not nominating the Prime Minister lists, this discussion is about the "Premiers of British Columbia" lists. Some topics, PM's of Canada probably included, could use multiple lists on the same topic due to their higher level of notability and breadth of information. This I do not believe is included in that category. It's a sub-national government level and wouldn't overwhelm readers if the information were to be combined into one list.

 * If you are going to be merging the articles, can I at least ask that you do so in a way that keeps the BC list in a consistent format with the other completed premier lists? --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 17:42, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
