It has been suggested that The Wall Street Journal Asia and The Wall Street Journal Europe be merged into The Wall Street Journal. I agree per WP:CFORK and WP:DICDEF, as they are essentially duplicates. These are three on essentially the same subject, with the same scope. Describing the working, format, circulation and readership. Farooqahmadbhat (talk) 14:10, 8 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm in agreement | MK17b | (talk) 03:08, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge as proposed. Timur9008 (talk) 12:56, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge it makes sense as the other two articles are stubish. Springee (talk) 19:20, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose on the grounds that The Wall Street Journal is already large enough, at 86k, and the Asia and European editions had a large circulation in their respective areas over several decades (suggesting that independently notability is likely). Klbrain (talk) 19:35, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose The US, Europe and Asia divisions of the WSJ are all separate entities and should be treated as such, just as we have separate pages for News Corp and News UK. While the print and web editions may include shared editorial content, they have different staffs, budgets and legal requirements, especially when it comes to legal issues surrounding defamation. Moreover, it's true that The Wall Street Journal is already substantially long and adding the Europe and Asia content would make reading difficult and cumbersome.
