I already explained why the discussion was closed as "no consensus", but if you insist, I'll rephrase it in more blunt terms: You did not make a reasonable effort to inform interested editors of the proposal, neglecting even the most basic step of tagging both the relevant articles, so a consensus to merge based on there being no response is obviously invalid. Speaking of unconstructive editing though, I can't help but notice that you've

Based on the edit history, it looks like you made all of the needed changes. After a quick skim, it seems to be correct. I removed the nag note, and added one more sentence again reminding that vier=four in German, that viel=many (much). It would be nice if examples were given for some common GR

Bleecker, Gauge Theory and Variational Principles was rather direct and nice (for the classical, non-quantum case.)

I would support a merge under the name Cartan formalism as the more general case, but I don't think that the dominant special case (tetrad formalism) warrants a separate article of its own. —

How do you get 'no consensus' if 100% of the contributors shared a single view? Isn't it unconstructive to close a discussion thread for no other reason than lack of response?
