Proposed merge of Foundation of the Premier League into Broadcasting and the foundation of the Premier League
editBoth topics are intertwined greatly. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 13:22, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- A merge seems fine, but Foundation of the Premier League is the broader topic and so should be the target. I note the difference in rated article quality, but don't feel that that should determine the merge direction. Klbrain (talk) 11:07, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- I agree with both Klbrain's points. jnestorius(talk) 17:39, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
