I propose merging Minister for Active Transport (New South Wales) into Minister for Transport (New South Wales). The former is essentially a subsidiary title of the latter. -DilatoryRevolution (talk) 08:11, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To not merge, given no support and uncontested opposition; distinct ministries warranting separate discussion. Klbrain (talk) 20:42, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging Minister for Railways (New South Wales) and Minister for Ports and Waterways (New South Wales) into Minister for Transport (New South Wales). The former two titles are essentially subsidiary titles of the latter. -DilatoryRevolution (talk) 01:08, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, The minstries were quite distinct, much like the departments under them, hence we have New South Wales Government Railways, Public Transport Commission, State Rail Authority etc for railways and Maritime Services Board, NSW Maritime etc for ports that all performed similar functions but were different enough to justify separate articles.

- Those are good examples of the overlap. All of those quite distinct departments (with the exception of Maritime) were all covered by the same ministerial office (Minister for Transport). The name wasn't changed as the scope evolved so they can be contained in the same article. In the same way, the similarly-scoped Minister for Railways can be contained within the Minister for Transport article, which is its successor title. Additionally, with Ports and Waterways now folded into Transport, this can also be contained within the Transport Ministry article. --DilatoryRevolution (talk) 11:37, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, clear and distinct ministries. Bagufleat (talk) 01:20, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging Minister for Railways (New South Wales) into Minister for Transport (New South Wales). Railways is a predecessor title to Transport. -DilatoryRevolution (talk) 00:28, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To not merge, given the uncontested objection and no support with discussion stale for 6 months. Klbrain (talk) 19:30, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging Minister for Ports and Waterways (New South Wales) into Minister for Transport (New South Wales). Ports and Waterways were merged into Transport in 2014. The former portfolio can be easily explained in a section of the current ministry article. -DilatoryRevolution (talk) 07:26, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, Clear and distinct ministry for 30 years, not seeing a convincing case to merge. Mumbialoy (talk) 22:12, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, given the uncontested objection and no support with stale discussion. Klbrain (talk) 15:04, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
