Splitting article section at article Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool

@Coldupnorth I have looked through the talk page of the article at Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool and have found that you have contributed to that particular article significant amount of improvements in its infancy, which is a great achievement for the page and to the history as well. I wanted ask you as a new editor about splitting one of the article’s main headings “Prime Minister” into a new article about events and policies that were happened or implemented during his tenure as prime minister. I have put out a discussion template for the article and no one seemed to have had responded or showed no interest whatsoever. I have talked about it with another editor, who said that he does not hold a position on the suggestion. So can you provide some sort of assistance or help in achieving this goal? Altonydean (talk) 17:12, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Altonydean Thanks for reaching out. I haven't worked on that article in a long term so thanks for a reminder to reread. I think your proposal has merit. My understanding is it is common for Prime Ministers to have more in-depth separate articles on their Premierships with a high-level overview of key items in their biography. His successor George Canning for example, has Canningite government, 1827–1828 indeed this seems also a convention to name the article after their government. A more recent example, David Cameron, has Premiership of David Cameron and Second Cameron ministry. So I think implementing this change would make sense. Unfortunately I am not able to help you with this but would endorse such a move if you wish to do it. Guidance is available at Wikipedia:Splitting and Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. I'll post a message on the article talk page too. Best of luck. Coldupnorth (talk) 08:25, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. @Coldupnorth. Your help and advice are greatly welcome. To perform the split, according to Wikipedia, I would need the support of multiple editors as well, like four or three (there is no specific number given). So, I think this might take a while for lift off and until then I have to wait for an established consensus to be issued. Again thank you. Altonydean (talk) 09:49, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
