Merge of two lists

I am proposing to merge the content of List of World War II flying aces by country into this article and then create a redirect. The content of the other list seems redundant and is not well maintained. Let's discuss. Cheers MisterBee1966 (talk) 06:09, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the proposal. A redirect should be enough to discontinue a redundant list without losing information or misleading any readers who might look for the alternate title for the article. Donner60 (talk) 07:07, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With respect, I disagree with this proposal. See the above discussion about restoring the original global list of aces, which was far more usable and better matches the title of the article.

What if we took the country-specific lists currently on this article and had them replace the country-specific article?

That would leave this page as an overall list, that links to a list by country if people are interested in more detail. HugeUranium (talk) 06:30, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Same scope. NLeeuw (talk) 07:54, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting a move (21 October 2024)

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. The earlier discussion about page structure appears to have stalled out, so it seems time to adjudicate this discussion. The article's structure remains as it was since the RM was first opened, so the nominator's argument remains applicable and the one concern raised seems to have been addressed; this leads me to find a consensus to move the article as proposed. If further discussion leads to a change in the article scope, editors should feel free to propose a new move at that time.

List of World War II flying aces → Lists of World War II flying aces – This article is now a list of lists. The title should reflect that. RedDeadGuy (talk) 05:46, 21 October 2024 (UTC)— Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 18:34, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Postpone — I suggest to postpone this request until the overarching discussion about structure and size has been agreed to. Potentially no new name needs to be found. Cheers MisterBee1966 (talk) 06:13, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Should be plural. NLeeuw (talk) 07:54, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
