Merger proposal

[edit]

It seems like most, if not all of this information could be presented in the Dog bite article. PearlSt82 (talk) 19:47, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Some of this content certainly could be added to Dog bite but not all of it is worth keeping. I don't think this current article is encyclopaedic. It reads like a public information leaflet and the majority of the content is unsourced. Naturenet | Talk 07:35, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Allow me time to add more content and references. I will edit to eliminate the tone to be less like a leaflet. Dog bites cause more fatalities than lightening There are about 20 more references to add to this article. BTW, I typically create an article and continue to improve it over the course of a week or two. Sometimes it is disheartening to have an article moved or deleted before it is finished.

Additional content to be added

[edit]

Here are the references to be added to the article that support additional content and the need for a stand-alone article:

WIkipedia is not advice

[edit]

I'm concerned that this article is still not encyclopaedic. There is a lot of advice and possibly some original research here. At present the article does not comply with WP:NOTADVICE as it includes a lot of instruction and guidance on how to avoid dog bites. This could be removed, making the article considerably shorter and more suitable for Wikipedia. I'll do this in a while if nobody objects. Naturenet | Talk 11:01, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite done. This article has little now to set it apart from the [Dog bite] page, so I would support a proposal for merger if anybody wants to have a go. Naturenet | Talk 22:28, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Second Merger proposal

[edit]

There still seems little after two years to distinguish this from the Dog bite. I propose all content should be merged under the "Prevention" section.PearlSt82 (talk) 14:52, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing no further discussion or any objections, I've merged the two. PearlSt82 (talk) 19:27, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
