Merger proposal

I'm proposing to merge Mosaic theory of intelligence gathering and Mosaic theory (Fourth Amendment) into this page. Mosaic theory (litigation) was the longest and seemed most comprehensive of the three and there is significant overlap in what the articles cover. I've left out Mosaic theory (investments) because I assumed this was complex enough as is, although it might be a WP:CONTENTFORK that could be merged later. Please discuss below. (This is my first merger proposal, so please let me know if I've made/make any procedural errors.)

Pinging @Olivmalone, Eamaker, Geo Swan, BrightSource, and Rarewiki7:, since they've contributed non-minor edits to the pages.

Note: This article was started two years after Mosaic_theory_of_intelligence_gathering. Is this then the fork? Mosaic_theory_(litigation)#Mosaic_Theory's_national_security_origins implies this is the fork. Geo Swan (talk) 21:13, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mosaic_theory_(investments) was started on 2008 August 5‎ Mosaic_theory_of_intelligence_gathering was started on 2012 April 7 Mosaic theory (litigation) was started on 2014 June 25‎ Mosaic_theory_(Fourth_Amendment) was started on 2020 February 13‎

@Geo Swan: Given that the litigation article is (comparatively) longer and more sourced, I thought it made sense for that to be the article to be merged into. —Wingedserif (talk) 22:02, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
