Merge proposal

There's a new article on Responsibilities of the Scottish Government, but its content overlap heavily with content scattered throughout the Scottish Government page, not just in the existing Scottish Government#Responsibilities section. It's therefore redundant and best merged, or simiply redirected, to here on the grounds of overlap. Give the duplication already present, the combined size wouldn't be excessive. Note that an alternative target would be Scotland Act 1998, which defines the responsibilities, but this one is probably better. Klbrain (talk) 12:04, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

:Opposed: I created the said article on the basis that the text included was far too vast for the Scottish Government article and added undue weight and length. Goodreg3 (talk) 14:00, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

::Further comment: You added the entire article back into the Scottish Government whilst leaving the responsibilities section active further down the article. By doing so, you did exactly what you claim you are setting out to rectify, and that is you overlapped information already included in the article or summarised in the preexisting responsibilities section. You cannot go ahead and merge an article without a consensus from other contributors during a live merge proposal. Goodreg3 (talk) 14:08, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
