Basically the same scope with actual Talaud Islands Regency, same area, same everything. The regency article will benefit from the merger especially on demographic section and geography. Nyanardsan (talk) 11:29, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support There is a full overlap of the areas of the geographical concept and the administrative unit. While administrative units are potentially more volatile than geographical concepts (both are man-made though, which is often overlooked for the latter), I don't see that Talaud Islands Regency will become subject to another administrative any time in the near future.
Theoretically, one could neatly divide geographical and administrative topics about the area over the two articles, but some topics belong to both aspects (o.g. population, economy), so it makes little sense to fork all this in two articles.

@Austronesier Nope, but I have seen it now. Checking it a bit, it seems like we now have three articles of similar scope and usage; that one, Malay Archipelago, and Maritime Southeast Asia. Nyanardsan (talk) 11:12, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No-one has opposed this sensible merger suggestion, so I think you should go ahead now. Rif Winfield (talk) 09:09, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 08:48, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
