I don't think it would be appropriate to merge them as, although they are at the same geographic location, they represent very different time periods in nuclear development, use different technologies and are at very different stages in their lifecycle.—

Yes, they do cover different periods of nuclear technology, and are at different stages in their existence, but merging into one article would help to simplify finding information on the stations, and through having them gathered in one place could possibly help compare the different types of technology. Hinkley Point is one of only two power stations on Wikipedia that I know have been written about in this way, the others being the Hunterston
A and
B power stations. All others are written about in one article per site. Take
Littlebrook Power Station for example. Not two, but four stations have been built on that site over the past 70 years, using not one, but two types of fuel over that period. You may argue that the A, B and C stations have little written about them on this particular article, but that is clearly because no one has taken the time to write about them. With Hinkley Point A, B and C each having been written about separately, a fair bit of information has built up, and a merge would create a substancial, definitive article on the past, present and future of the Hinkley Point site.

There doesn't seem to be agreement about this so can we remove the merge tags - unless anyone else wants to contribute to the debate?—
