Repetition?

Question - doesn't this page simply reduplicate the content of this page? Seems like a candidate for a redirect to me, especially since it's an orphan. Akerbeltz (talk) 00:53, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In January 2012, it was requested that List of Scottish National Party MPs (2005–2010) be merged into this article. I support this merger, along with List of Scottish National Party MPs (2010–present), as both of these articles are not (and won't be) long enough to warrant this content fork - as it is this article doesn't require any splitting based on decades or any other time-space at the moment.

Oppose. The two lists mentioned can be viewed as splits of List of Scottish National Party MPs (2005–2010), but they are also lists of a split-by-party of:
List of MPs elected in the United Kingdom general election, 2005 (see other similar by-party lists at Category:Lists of UK MPs 2005–2010)

List of MPs elected in the United Kingdom general election, 2010 (see other similar by-party lists at Category:Lists of UK MPs 2010–)

These relatively small lists are part of a series, and should be retained as such. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:32, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
