Merge Proposal

I propose Merging Ministry of Long-Term Care (Ontario) (MLTC) into Ministry of Health (Ontario)(MOH). The MLTC is a really minor Ministry, only responsible for Long-term care homes in Ontario. Much of the article is exactly the same, including the History sections. The list of Ministers are also very similar, only diverging after 2019. It would much easier to add New columns for other Ministers including Minister of Long-Term Care and Health Promotion (which is currently in the Notes column of MOH) to the MOH list of Ministers, like is done on Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services. I can't find any sources primarily about the MLTC outside the Government of Ontario, which is not an independent source, so the MLTC article does not meet WP:ORG. This merge would not create any article size or weight problems in my opinion. Legend of 14 (talk) 19:15, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
