Is merge of two councils or the councils of two regions

[edit]
... and merged the regional councils of Auvergne and Rhône-Alpes, ...

When I wanted to find out where these regions were in France I found that the first link went (redirected) to the region Auvergne but the other link was to the now-defunct previous council Regional_council_of_Rhône-Alpes. And strangely, that second linked page didn't have a link to the region Rhône-Alpes!

I can see the need to have links to both kinds of things, regions and former councils. But given there is no page for the prior council of Auvergne, the only working pair would be the regions. What to do? Shenme (talk) 03:06, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My view is WP:NOTBROKEN; I want to have articles on both former councils, so I linked to both; since I'm saying "regional councils of X and Y", I'm linking to regional councils for those regions as opposed to region links themselves – but I see your point that it's weird. I'd rather have articles on both (updated, of course...) but I'm just one person and have shifting priorities on Wikipedia and frankly never enough time to clean up all of these articles.
