Proposed merge of demographic analysis to this page[edit]

The article has been tagged for a few months; anyone have thoughts on this? Demographic statistics may be another merge to consider. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 21:18, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see any formidable obstacle to merging either or both. With redirects to the sections, of course. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 12:14, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - I agree with merging both articles into Demography, they are smaller and would contribute to exploring demography further in one article. Jamzze (talk) 10:50, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - Agree with merging, alot of overlap between the three topics that it makes sense to merge it within the wider Demography page. Tweedledumb2 (talk) 23:50, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - would create a better overall article instead of information arbitrarily split between two DecafPotato (talk) 18:46, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 08:29, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
