I would like to clear-out/erase my information on an older iPad to give to someone else. I already have another iPad that has retained most of its contents (contacts etc.). Both are linked to an iPhone and iCloud.
Am I correct- if I start erasing items individually from apps, photos, contacts, that I will lose them in the cloud but if I reset the device I will not lose photos and information?
Thanks.

yes, this article answers my question, thank you:
"You shouldn't manually delete your contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photos, or any other iCloud information while you're signed in to iCloud with your Apple ID. This would delete your content from the iCloud servers and any of your devices signed into iCloud."
