To merge all 3 topics to National Council of Women (Romania), on the grounds of short text and context. Klbrain (talk) 11:24, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

I recently added National Council of Women (Romania), which Super Dromaeosaurus noticed was already covered by this page. I'm not sure myself whether it would be clearest to have one WP page (with a bunch of relevant redirects from the different names) or to have three.

I don't read Romanian, but it seems (e.g. from this English thesis and this French thesis) as if the PCR had three successive women's organizations - the Union of Anti-Fascist Women of Romania (1944-47), the Union of Democratic Women of Romania (1948-53) and the National Council of Women (1954-89). As well as having different names, they had some difference in structure. On the other hand, each succeeded the previous one as the Party's official women's organization. What do people think?

Dsp13 Were it up to me (and it isn't), I'd merge all 3 into the article on the National Council of Women to eliminate fragmenting the history and because the "Consiliu Național al Femeilor Române" was its last manifestation. These organizations as far as I can tell were all successive affiliates of the Women's International Democratic Federation, see p 126 and p 436. SusunW (talk) 19:36, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

I would be inclined to merge and have a single article. The English thesis is fairly clear that the AntiFascist org was 'absorbed' into the Union of Democratic Women of Romania (p.57) and the French thesis seems to be saying around pages 59-61 that there was a decision by the Political Bureau to change the Union of Democratic Women of Romania into the National Council of Women. There seem to be some disagreements about dates. I don't think right now we have enough text on any of the three to justify separating them & I think the reader is probably better served by a single article. --Tagishsimon (talk) 02:07, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Agree with consolidation, but think that the better target would be National Council of Women (Romania), as it was the longest-running and most recent of the 3 names Dsp13 notes. Klbrain (talk) 09:44, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
