Merger discussion

As noted here, I think the French anti-Barnier government protests page should just be a redirect to this article. The protests did take place but they are not ongoing and just took place over one weekend or so (mostly one day, really). It's not like France is experiencing daily, or even weekly, protests against the government. The protests were not even that important by French standards and they had no effect except venting the (understandable) frustration of left-wing voters. The page looks like it wants to give these protests more importance than they actually had. There is already a paragraph here which could be enlarged (though not that much) with content from the other page, but I'd say a separate page is not useful.

It is telling that the French-language Wikipedia did not even see fit to create a page about this subject. As I noted on the other page, the anti-Le Pen protests during the 2002 election were much more spectacular and notable and as far as I can tell they do not have their own article.

What I think is telling is that the article exists in just these 4 other languages: Persian, Korean, Belarusian and Russian. These are the national languages of Iran, North Korea, Belarus and Russia. Truc Bizarre (talk) 09:44, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you intend to merge, you should probably actually include something (say, one sentence, for example) rather than just deleting 15K as you did here. This page is an unholy mess. There is a section titled "anti-Barnier government protests" allegedly taken from this very page, which says nothing about protests. -- SashiRolls ^{🌿 · 🍥} 17:08, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aha, I understand your confusion. There was an excerpt template on the page, which made you think there was text about the protests included here, but in fact it was just being swapped in from the page you redirected here. The result was that the excerpt template now was excerpting material from the lede of this page into a subsection of this page (how your edit left the page)... :) To help with clean-up I've removed the excerpt template, so that you can see more clearly what you're doing... -- SashiRolls ^{🌿 · 🍥} 17:31, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SashiRolls: I've done the merging. There isn't much more to merge about the protests themselves IMHO. Psychloppos (talk) 07:51, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
