The wikipedia article on deism has grown overly large and very messy.
Today I refactored the article on deism so that it now has 4 basic sections on: overview, features, classical deism, and contemporary deism.
In the process, I discovered that there is a relatively new article, Deism in England and France in the 18th century, that has a considerable overlap with the first 3 sections of discussion of the article on deism. I could find no comparable wikipedia article on contemporary deism or modern deism.
I propose that the current wikipedia articles on deism should be rationalized and refactored so that they have this structure:
I think the mechanics of this change could be done this way.
If people think this would be a good idea, or at least have no objections, I would be willing to do this work.
If I were to do this, my goal in step 4 would be to merge text from the deism and Deism in England and France in the 18th century articles into the new classical deism in a way that preserves most of the text of both sources. Then we could let the normal wikipedia evolutionary/editorial process take over and smooth out the merged text until it becomes one focussed text.
So, I have a request for comment:

Does the article exclude anybody born in or with parents from Wales, Scotland or Ireland? Belle Fast ( talk) 17:09, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
