Proposed merge of Salami tactics into Salami slicing

Both articles cover the same topic. Merging them into one article will make them more comprehensive. Separate articles not needed here as now considering the limited content. DTM (talk) 08:59, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Salami tactics, we can be sure, were invented by a child […] Tell a child not to go in the water and he’ll sit on the bank and submerge his bare feet; he is not yet ‘in’ the water. Acquiesce, and he’ll stand up; no more of him is in the water than before. Think it over, and he’ll start wading, not going any deeper; take a moment to decide whether this is different and he’ll go a little deeper, arguing that since he goes back and forth it all averages out. Pretty soon we are calling to him not to swim put of sight, wondering whatever happened to all our discipline.

If you see, the Washington Post article uses salami tactics interchangeably with salami slicing. It defines salami tactics using the word 'slices' — "A state gradually grabs small slices until others realize that the entire sausage is gone." DTM (talk) 12:21, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Support; similar concepts; if Salami tactics refers only to politics then it will fit very nicely into the currently-rather-bare Salami slicing#In politics. Klbrain (talk) 17:05, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
