There's some areas mentioned on [[WP:LAP]] where merging is probably a good idea, e.g. I really don't see the need for both [[Wikipedia:Libel]] and [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons]]
However in this case I think it's better to keep policy in tasty bitesize chunks. If I'm a new user picking a name, I don't want to read a load of nonsense about so called "sock puppets".
