Background: Page was initially split from Minister for Education (Victoria).

Because I believed that the content in Minister for Education (Victoria) wasn't sufficient for a stand alone article (see here), I undid the split and merged the pages together again. A PROD for this article was then contested.

Reason for deletion: This page is essentially a duplicate of Minister for Education (Victoria). ––– GMH MELBOURNE TALK 08:40, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy merge Really dumb move to split the list off, leaving just a rump sub-stub. It's perfectly fine (and preferable) to have both information about the position and a list of officeholders in the same article, even if you expect some expansion later.

Keep I don't mind a redirect, but the redirect page will become a massive stub. JASpencer (talk) 15:46, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea what that means, what is a "massive stub"? That's contradictory. We only need one page, not two, to describe the position and who has held it. Reywas92^Talk 17:15, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Retain a single page as before. Absolutely no need to two separate pages. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:24, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Merge - This meets WP:SPEEDY A10 as well as the analysis from Reywas92. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 18:00, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
