Merge subcu INF and subcu INJ to subcu administration

The idea that subcu INF and subcu INJ should have separate articles is an artifactual distinction that is counterproductive in terms of article scope in view of real-world practice, such as the often-dynamic interplay of both subcu INF and subcu INJ in insulin therapy in present-day diabetes management. And you can tell, because the article on INJ tries to rope in some discussion of insulin pump INF. Which is natural, and logical, but it also simply means that the article's title should be "Subcutaneous administration" and not "Subcutaneous injection". The artificial separation began from people writing mere stubbish WP:DICTDEFs of subcu INJ and subcu INF in isolation without giving the matter (of article scope) sufficient thought. WP's coverage of both subcu INF and subcu INJ should logically exist in a single article titled "Subcutaneous administration". Subcu administration is logically hypernymic to both subcu INF and subcu INJ (obviously). Whenever anyone has time to do this, it would be an improvement.
