Currently there is a huge diverging content fork between the two text on the same subject. These must be rearranged according to WP:Summary style. Staszek Lem (talk) 05:47, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What is the purpose, as you propose, of cutting out the "Positivism" section of the "History of philosophy in Poland" article, to "merge" it into the "Positivism in Poland" article?
If you need some additional information for the "Positivism in Poland" article, then by all means help yourself – but don't mutilate a useful article by "merging" the "History of philosophy in Poland" article's "Positivism" section, cutting out one of that article's most important sections.
Positivism in Poland was not only a philosophical movement (which is treated in "History of philosophy in Poland") but a sociopolitical and artistic movement, which is not the subject of the "Positivism" section of "History of philosophy in Poland".

You are talking nonsense. Yes, Positivism in Poland was a broad movement, not only philosophy, and the current article Positivism in Poland sucks miserably, hence my suggestion. I also strongly recommend you to read the policy I cited: WP:Summary style: I am not suggesting "cutting" I am suggesting "rearranging". ... which is not the subject of the "Positivism" section - I am not suggestng merging to section.

By the way, this mess propagates across various wikipedias. For example, this article, Positivism in Poland, interwikilinks to Polish pl:Literatura polska – pozytywizm, while the latter one interwikis to fr:Positivisme varsovien, while the Polish original pl:Pozytywizm warszawski of the French term interwiks to Positivism in Poland! How this can happen in wikidata, beats me. Whatever it is, Polsih wikipedia covers the subject in 2 pages as ell, but split differently: the general one and specifically for its flow in literature. And the two articles chaotically mix and match, just like in enwiki, but in a different way:-) Staszek Lem (talk) 06:58, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
