Radio Demerara > Guyana Broadcasting Corporation > NCN

I propose to merge (redirect) the predecessor radio article pages to this one. All three have overlapping sources. Sources are sparse, and information is getting duplicated because of how tight-knit the subjects are. While each has a name in it's own right, 3 separate weak stubs are not serving readers. It's not likely someone looking at one article can get proper context without the others.

Merging would benefit readers who are studying Guyana and want an easy-to-understand context of radio. I also think merging would benefit radio-enthusiasts that want to understand how different countries operate in the broadest sense.

Feedback is welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Estheim (talk • contribs) 10:08, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Support - This looks justified. Just because a subject (like Radio Demerara) qualifies for a stand-alone article doesn't mean that is the best way to cover it. I'd start by doing the easy merge of Guyana Broadcasting Corporation into this article (National Communications Network, Guyana) and step back and gauge your next step from there. ~Kvng (talk) 16:20, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Kvng:, that seems like a fair approach. I will proceed with a small bold merge, then make the proper merge discussions for Radio Demerara/NCN. Cheers, Estheim (talk) 15:54, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
