We have now the following articles:

• Polar (disambiguation)
• Polar regions of Earth
• Polar climate
• Arctic
• Arctic Circle
• Arctic Ocean
• Climate of the Arctic
• Antarctic
• Antarctic Circle

By their nature, these articles duplicate the same information. The result is eight articles that are not as good as, say, three, that cover the material better. The reader would be better served by fewer articles with less conflicting information, taking less time to read. Rhadow ( talk) 12:12, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply
