Any thoughts of putting in a disambiguation page for bones (organ) versus bones (tissue)? WLU 23:55, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?

Thoughts on merging compact and spongy bone into this article? All three are short, there's a fair bit of duplication, a couple of headings could easily be thrown in to assist with wikilinks in other articles. Seems like it would make sense. WLU 14:04, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Osseous tissue → Bone tissue – "Bone tissue" is the common name, and much more readily understandable by readers. Tom (LT) (talk) 00:38, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

Support – "Bone tissue" is used much more widely in contemporary publications than "osseous tissue", as shown here and further confirmed by Google Scholar searches: [1], [2].

Proposed merge with Bone cell

Bone tissue is formed from bone cells. No need to have separate articles when they have such a similar scope. Tom (LT) (talk) 00:40, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support – with reservations. There is such a thing as acellular bone, currently not mentioned in either of these articles. Acellular bone was important in the evolution of bone, and remains important in many extant teleost fish. I support merging the articles and adding further content which address these issues. --Epipelagic (talk) 19:00, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Both are relatively small pages that cover many overlapping topics Funkyman99 (talk) 01:01, 8 March 2016 (UTC) Done[reply]

Proposed merge with Cancellous bone

These two types of bone are related and should be displayed together. This will help readers and future editors by centralising information, and decrease needless confusion and fragmentation. Tom (LT) (talk) 00:39, 27 September 2015 (UTC) Done[reply]

Proposed merge with Cortical bone

As above Tom (LT) (talk) 00:40, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support all the above - but - is there any reason why the three articles cannot be merged with Bone. As it is there is duplication on all pages and the Bone page has plenty of room. It would make a much more comprehensive page.--Iztwoz (talk) 11:24, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I worry that we will be rolling some important topics into the main article here and think it would be better that we have a general overview for most readers at Bone, and a more technical coverage of these types of bone in greater detail here. --Tom (LT) (talk) 07:04, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Proposed merge

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to merge. Chhandama (talk) 03:43, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Much of page is duplicated on target page. Difficult to know what to include on this page or leave on target page particularly Clinical significance items. Individual bone cells would still have their own pages. A merge would not create a very large article. Iztwoz (talk) 17:25, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It does look like it might not need to be an article on its own. I support a merge. However, it may be difficult to incorporate the text in a coherent way.Andrew. Z. Colvin • Talk 07:09, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Most of the headings at bone tissue are reproduced to a marginally lesser extent at bone. PriceDL (talk) 17:33, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
