So, yesterday these two questions got posted, one on English Language Learners and one on English Language and Usage:
Someone who looks for problems and is not interested in solving an issue pragmatically - (ELL)
- ~1000 views, 10 answers
Someone who looks for problems and is not interested in solving an issue pragmatically - (ELU)
- ~1800 views, 21 answers
Both of them are (for their respective sites) very high in views, likely due to at least one or both of them making it onto Hot Network Questions.
They also both have many answers, many of which overlap but not all.
I'm not sure how it took this long for them to be noticed to be duplicates as they're really obviously dupes... But I can't imagine one site deciding to just delete the question, particularly as the answers aren't always duplicated on the two sites.
Is there a way for these two questions to be merged somehow on one site?
I know that there are already questions about merging and whether it's generally something that can be made possible... that is not what I'm asking.
I'm asking if, in this specific case, some admin can merge them.
In the edge case where the question is appropriate on more than one site, leave it on both sites and let the users of each community benefit from the information.
