Not necessarily; the province was not coterminous with the entire period of Roman rule over the region, and where one article has a narrow administrative focus, the other is more general. However I would not object in principle to merging the two articles, in which case the broader one should be the article merged to, i.e. "Phoenicia under Roman rule", perhaps coupled with a move to Roman Phoenicia, per most other similar articles.

Given the content at hand, I think a merge is the best way to go forward. The province can be dealt with in an administrative history section, as is the case with other similar articles. If and when enough someone has time and material to introduce material that goes beyond the scope of an overview article (e.g. governors, detailed administrative history, etc), the province article can be recreated. Let's wait a few days however in case other users have other ideas. Constantine ✍ 11:00, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I totally disagree with the merge. The Roman province of Phoenice is related to a limited period of time, while the article "Phoenice under Roman rule" is related to the many centuries of Roman control of the region and is more complete, dealing with the full history of Rome in this region. It is like merge History of Roman Britain with the article End of Roman rule in Britain or the article Roman client kingdoms in Britain, that are related to a limited period Roman Britain.--Nemetope (talk) 00:45, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
