There is a major difference between merging all the projects related to Christianity in one WikiProject which I am a member of incidentally and merging all the projects related to any type of political ideology into one WikiProject I would really hope you realize that because what you are suggesting is essentially akin to taking all the religion WikiProjects and merging them into one mega project There are a number of issues with doing that as there are with politics projects And yes merging makes a project makes it subservient to the main project Why else would you merge it if nothing changes Incidentally WP OWN applies only to articles WikiProjects are not articles I ve been very vocal about being willing to talk about discuss and implement changes and have been taken up on that offer a total of once the proposal discouraging POV requests for comment got my support incidentally The main issue here is that there has not been any sort of concrete example of issues or ideas we get radical ideas like your merging proposal and an RfC but no practical ideas on how to solve any issues
