Combine article into Saint John (electoral district)

There's no reason that Saint John-Rothesay should have a page separate from the Saint John (electoral district) page. The district's boundaries are almost entirely unchanged from its previous incarnation, and a mere name change of an electoral district does not necessitate the starting of a new article. Note the extensive histories listed on the pages of most Canadian electoral districts, spanning changes to boundaries and district names over numerous redistributions, while remaining contained together on a single page. Only when districts are dismembered or radically altered (i.e. redistributed to contain little of the previous incarnation) should a new page be started. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.251.250.241 (talk) 17:17, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
