Content forks

The two articles List of first openly LGBT politicians in the United States and List of LGBT politicians in the United States have become contents forks of each other. Non-firsts have been creeping into the FIRSTS article, and the plain 'list of' article is woefully deficient in list entries compared to the FIRSTS article. The latter article, using tables (which is prettier and vastly more interesting for a reader to view) would quickly become unwieldy in size should it even attempt to include all the "firsts" in it.

Either the articles need to be merged, or drop one of them, or they need to be separated further — perhaps into one FIRSTS article and the other as people in CURRENT office positions (not to include past office holders). Platonk (talk) 22:22, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
