Merge proposal[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was withdrawn, as the scope of Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act can include the separate provision in the National Security Act, 2024. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 19:23, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act has been superseded and holds no notability. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 16:10, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose All sources dicussing a proposed divestment are talking about the bill.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:06, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You once again rushed to create an unnecessary article about a current event that is already covered by multiple existing articles, and then now you want the older article to be merged into your newer and less comprehensive one, claiming that it has somehow been "superseded"? That is laughable and not how it works. If anything, this article should be immediately merged into Restrictions on TikTok in the United States, in whose direction this article seems to heading, or Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.

- Alternatively, reverse merge this article into Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act and move to 21st Century Peace through Strength Act. But the older article, with the longer page history, should be the primary "copy", not the newer one. InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:25, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support immediate merge of this article to Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act and/or Restrictions on TikTok in the United States, and/or TikTok, not the other way around, per InfiniteNexus. No need for this page yet. Let content grow in the main article, then WP:SPLIT when warranted. Reywas92^Talk 18:26, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is their much to merge here? A simple redirect might suffice and updating as it continues like how the article currently is? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 18:35, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect which article to where? InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:37, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There seems to be some confusion going on here; I've posted more information at Talk:Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. That act and the "21st Century" foreign aid package that was just signed into law are separate. Someone needs to go into the "Protecting" article and clean up the confusion, especially the infobox that conflates the two. InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:36, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
