Hi, I changed the importance of North and South Aral Sea articles to high importance, given the importance of the parent Aral Sea article. However, due how advanced that article is, should these pages exist or be merged with Aral Sea? Thoughts? Cheers, Uninspired Username (talk) 21:15, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Uninspired Username: I agree with the assessment, but the rational is not clear as it is a circular statement. High importance because importance is high. It would be more clear if stated as number of citations in publications for topical coverage, internationally discussed, size of the body of water or other feature, etc.Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who?
