== Proposed merge of [[Hannah Natanson FBI raid]] into [[United States v. Aurelio Luis Perez-Lugones]] ==

The content of these two articles overlaps a lot, which is a maintenance burden. Would be good to have one central location to talk about the FBI raid. I think the broader article is the better merge target. –[[User:Novem Linguae|<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Novem Linguae|talk]])</small> 20:30, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

:<s>Don't have the bandwidth to do the merge myself, but as long as you ensure no information in this article is lost during the merge I support it. Since I'm the page's creator saying it's okay to perform the merge I think that should be enough to close this merge discussion, but if you'd like to play it safe I understand either way.

If we merged, the article would be best described as [[United States v. Aurelio Luis Perez-Lugones and FBI raid on Hannah Natanson's home]], which is pretty verbose. It's also very convenient to have the FBI raid separate from the lawsuit template if you're working with templates and articles that rely on excerpts/hyperlinks to one topic but not the other, e.g., [[Government attacks on journalists during the Trump presidencies]], [[Template:Democratic backsliding during the second Trump administration sidebar]], and others that benefit from excerpting/linking the raid and the lawsuit separately. I think a fix in duplicativeness would be moving the FBI raid section in this article to the FBI raid article and excerpting the FBI raid article here. We could also excerpt this article in the FBI raid one. That way, we have no more duplicativeness while keeping these related but distinct topics separate.
