I am not familiar with the actual details, but from this discussion it seems the two overlap geographically mostly, and therefore it reasonable to have just one article titled "Clifton Down (ward)" with a section or otherwise covering the previous, defunct "Clifton East (ward)". In general we should prefer to keep stuff that has been created and seek alternatives to deletion (

I'm not entirely convinced that you do have a conflict of interest. You certainly have an association with the subject, but that only becomes a conflict if your primary purpose is something other than writing an encyclopaedia. My opinion on merging is that it is unnecessary and at the moment it is

Thanks all for your input so far. If the conclusion is keep and merge, I am happy to do the work myself, using the draft I recently submitted for a new

Clifton East and Clifton Down, merging them will add to the already considerable confusion about wards in this city. The reason I think deleting would be good is that Knowledge generally doesn't have pages for other former electoral

but there are probably many wards that no longer exist but simply aren't in that category. An entity doesn't simply become non notable just because it no longer exists, however it could be merged if there's a significant overlap with the new ward but as noted you don't think that's a good idea

article and then rename it. Doing it the other way round, although possible, does not automatically retain the history and author attribution which is a requirement of the copyright license. But as I said, I don't think there is really a problem with having two separate articles.
