Seeing as the article might lose its featured status sooner than later, I'd like to bring up the possibility of what we've done with other retired articles, which is merging all of the various sub-articles. The content is largely duplicated between the main Dean article and each sub-article. The Dean article is under 6,000 words at the moment, so it could certainly be expanded. I was curious, so I made a temporary page where I merged everything in without changing anything. And the word count is under 9,000, which is reasonable, especially since that could probably be trimmed down a bit with some copyediting. It doesn't change the fact that the article might be a bit out of date, but merging the sub-articles would at least remove the redundancy between articles, and would helpfully expand the soon to be de-featured article. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:09, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, since Dean is a former featured article. And the other articles are also smaller than the main article of Dean. Bronco3706 (talk) 22:06, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge the articles on the Lesser and Greater Antilles but hold on merging the Mexico article. The main article is 5300 words, the Antilles articles combine for 4500 words and the Mexico article is 1850 words (though likely needs a bit of expansion.) I know that their is duplicate text, but I want to see if it exceeds 8,000 words on the first two merges before supporting a third, since it seems like a merge will have it be close to 10,000 words.2600:387:15:5118:0:0:0:4 (talk) 20:53, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you look in the section above this, you can see what the version looks like with all three sub-articles merged in, and it's less than 9,000 words. That's without doing any changes. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:02, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Charliehdb (talk) 13:47, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
