Support. I'd have boldly redirected it, if it hadn't already been done & reverted. No reason to split it from the parent article. I generally like related topics being merged together into coherent comprehensive articles, rather than giving every single notable topic its own article.

This split was performed just two days ago. I've simply reverted the split, clearly the change is controversial and an editor wishing to split it would need to gain consensus before doing so again. —Locke Cole • t • c18:03, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
