Proposed merge of Lawn ornament into Garden ornament
[edit]- 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.
- To merge Lawn ornament into Garden ornament on the grounds of short text, overlap and context; merge to the broader topic; some interest in a page move, that could follow the merge. Klbrain (talk) 14:52, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
These two list articles are practically synonyms, and several items from one are missing from the other. {{Lawn and garden ornaments}} more strictly splits the list into two, but there are only a few items listed (like birdboxes and hanging baskets) which are suspended in the air and couldn't be considered a "lawn ornament". The majority of them could be placed on a lawn, or in a lawnless garden. Belbury (talk) 08:21, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose But they aren't synonyms, are they! Lawn ornament seems to be a purely American term, and perhaps largely an American concept, with so many American "yards" not containing flowerbeds etc. Both articles are pretty crap, but I see no benefit in combining them.

- As currently written, one article is a subset of the other. Everything on both lists is a garden ornament, and those features that can be placed on a small area of grass can also, it seems, be considered lawn ornaments.
- Combining two crap articles into one crap article would be easier for readers to navigate, and easier for editors to do something encyclopedic with. If anyone wants to write about the cultural history of modern suburban lawn ornaments, that could also usefully expand the history of garden ornaments, which currently tails off around the 18th century.

- I support the merge. Well, merging both into Lawn and garden ornaments could be more suitable option if we want dispute resolution. However, I think merging per nom is most appropriate because lawn is just a type of garden and/or garden has a wider scope if they are very similar. MrAnmol (talk) 12:41, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
