When deciding whether to merge an article or not, answer the following questions:
- 1. Will a merge result in an article that violates article size guidelines?
- 2. Will a merge require the removal of encyclopedic content?
If you answered no to both questions, then a merge is acceptable.
If you answered yes to question 1 and/or 2, then a merge is not desirable.
