| Each bill put to a referendum has its own article. We also have pages for dates on which there is more than one referendum. See, for example, ], with the ] (marriage equality) and the ] (age of eligibility for president). | |||

| Should we be following that approach with the ] (month included in the title because of the scheduled, if not finalised, referendum on the patent court in June)? In that way, keeping detail on the wording and campaigns on the separate pages of ] and ]. On the other hand, given how much the campaigns will have in common, it might make sense to give more of the details on the campaign and support for or opposition to the two proposals on the referendums article, rather than the separate amendment articles. Previous cases where there were two or more on related topics, such as ] or ] give guidance, although needn't determine the approach. | |||

| :My initial instinct is to cover the referendums in one article, with suitable redirects pointing to it, because they both deal with related questions: What is a family, and what is a woman's role at home and at work? | |||
| :For that matter, the three articles ], ], and ] should also be merged (with suitable redirects) since those three referendums, held on the same day, were about the same topic of abortion. | |||

| ::Also agreed, a single article makes sense. ]<sup>]</sup> 00:33, 26 January 2024 (UTC) | |||
| Great to see a consensus, and though I had started moving in the other direction with my edits, it makes a lot of sense. Even if there is any divergence in the result or if there are some organisations calling for a split vote, it will be useful to show this together on one page. Similarly, the same with the 1992 votes, that there was a No/Yes/Yes from many groups, as well as No/No/No from others, is a useful comparison, in a way that a divergence between marriage equality and the presidential age is only trivial. ] (]) 06:45, 26 January 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :I would agree with the single article approach for the campaign. To date all the parties and civil society groups that have declared a position on the referendums are supporting both and there could be a lot of repetition if we have two separate articles.

| {{u|Spideog}}, {{u|Bogger}}, {{u|Scolaire}}, {{u|SeoR}}, {{u|Bastun}}, {{u|Ccferrie}} or {{u|Spleodrach}}, any thoughts on the two proposals above (corrected after I’d accidentally mixed them up!) ] (]) 15:03, 7 February 2024 (UTC) | |||
| : Thanks. I've thought about it further, and for these two cases, firmly support mergers. ] (]) 00:19, 8 February 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ::FWIW, the discussion has continued on ], and I think it is converging towards no consensus. ] (]) 13:45, 17 February 2024 (UTC) | |||
| '''Support merges''': The dispersal of merger discussions across multiple article talk pages and here in WikiProject Ireland is exasperating. I suggest we centralise the discussions in one location (I prefer this location) and place notices in any relevant talk pages directing interested parties here. | |||
| It only struck me yesterday that Misplaced Pages treatment of Irish constitutional amendments is illogically split over two or more articles, for example, we have (Article 1) ] and then we have three more articles: (Article 2) ], (Article 3) ], and (Article 4) ]. This scattered treatment is offensive. The four articles should be merged into one, with redirects pointing to that one article. | |||
| If I was dictator for a day like Donald Trump's fantasy for next January, I would go on a wholesale merging binge to impose order and consistency on the mess collected in ]. I don't know why it became a pattern to have, for example, ] plus ] and ]. The three articles should be one because atomising the discussion is both disorderly and illogical which either sends the reader to three different places for one event or risks the reader missing part of the treatment of the occasion. There is also the problem of repetition between articles. | |||
| I have read a few of these articles in the past without realising until yesterday that by reading ] I could easily not recognise that there are two related articles: ] and ]. | |||
| Even if two amendments voted on, on the same day, are not related in content they are nevertheless contemporaneous events and there is obvious logic in combining them to tidy this unnecessary mess which risks making related material invisible to an unwary reader. | |||
| Merge, baby, merge. Merge the discussions we're having, then merge the articles. ] (]) 16:26, 18 February 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :By "merge the discussions we're having" I mean place notices on all relevant {{tq|constitutional amendment}} and {{tq|referendum}} Talk pages saying that centralised discussion is taking place (here) at ]. ] (]) 16:35, 18 February 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ::I can understand your exasperation at the duplication! Even in the meantime, I had crafted a separate response over on ] within the next half hour! My apologies for this dispersal. | |||
| ::The way I see it, it makes sense to have a separate article for ], with an overview of the ] and the ] as marriage equality and the age of eligibility for election to the office of president were entirely separate subjects; someone who wants to know the background to the relatively obscure proposal to amend the age of eligibility would get lost in the material on marriage equality. Or a reader studying the abolition of the death penalty by country could get lost in the ] in the debate on the Nice Treaty if they were all combined. It's different for the 1968, November 1992, and March 2024 referendums, as in each case, these were proposals on related questions, proposed together, debated together. I had opened separate merger discussions even there though, someone might have a subtle case of Yes for merger in 1968 for No in 1992. ] (]) 17:03, 18 February 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :::I recognise your argument about two different topics being voted on in one day but that is easily dealt with in one article such as {{tq|2029 Irish constitutional referendums}} within which are two sections: {{tq|Amendment to permit strangling of babies at birth}} and {{tq|Amendment to prohibit fake tans}}. The results of each vote would appear in the appropriate sections within the article. | |||
| :::Even if there is only one amendment being voted on, it makes no sense to have two articles: {{tq|2029 Irish constitutional referendum}} and {{tq|Amendment to permit strangling}}. The lead paragraph would say two (or more) issues were voted on in the 2029 referendum then the reader could browse whichever section is of interest. This would tame the messy subject atomisation/fragmentation and sprawl and cure the problem of repetition between articles. ] (]) 17:25, 18 February 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ::::We have enough examples that we don't need to consider such hypothetical referendums. Where there's one referendum held on the day, e.g. ], there's only one article. Although a short article, we don't and shouldn't merge that with ] held on the same day. The same should go for other polls held on the same day on quite distinct topics. I've considered quite a few ] and ] on different topics of Irish politics, and the question for me is primarily what would be clearer for the readers. I can't see what benefit there would be to any reader of a single article on the referendums on the ] and the ]. There is a small benefit, partly from disambiguating, of ], with a very short summary of them. However, I do think that in the three specific cases of 1968, November 1992, and the current ones, it's clearer and more informative to the readers for the distinct referendums on the same broad subject debated in the public sphere together to be treated on a single page. ] (]) 06:29, 29 February 2024 (UTC) | |||

| I found this when working on ] the February drive to eliminate/reduce the backlog of unreferenced articles. I've added a single source, ''PeakVisor'', not 100% sure of its reliability, which has a list of 41 summits.

| :You’re being a bit oversensitive and maybe ignoring the power dynamics here. There is no suggestion that a folk group can deny anyone their human rights. The context of Irish/English relations renders the Anglophobia of the latter an acceptable response to repression. That Irish people dislike (on the whole - clearly there will be the odd exception) England and the English is hardly unsurprising or news.

| :::I agree very much with both of these comments from {{u|Spleodrach}}. There can be a rush sometimes to create new articles because of a similar article elsewhere on the project; there’s certainly no need for a resignation article. But we can also forget the extent to which Misplaced Pages is used as a resource for up to date information. So even as ] stands, in practice we should be up to date, and provide this referenced coverage of the leadership contest, however brief it ends up being. We don’t need a link to every tweet with an endorsement, but general updates are useful.
