Proposed merge
[edit]- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
I placed a tag suggesting a merge between Himawari 8 <> Himawari (satellite). Each page has something that could contribute to the other, and they would come together to form a longer, more centralized and substantial article than the two pages alone. — VoxLuna ☾ orbitland 16:37, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
- Strongly oppose There are so many differences between the various satellites in the family that merging their descriptions would lead to disastrous results. I guess you aren't really familiar with Wikipedia articles on satellites, where even more "trivial" spacecraft got their own articles..... Galactic Penguin SST (talk) 17:01, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
- Weak oppose I am not totally against merging, however, I think Himawari-8 is rather noticeable for being the first of the "next generation" weather satellites. Both articles could benefit from a revamping. Supportstorm (talk) 17:42, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose If a page could contribute to another, perhaps briefly mentioning then linking the page to the other article may be a more viable alternative. However I see where you are coming from, as Himawari 9 is to be mechanically identical to 8. NeoGeneric 💬 09:35, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- How about “Himawari 8/9” for the title? -- Meow 16:55, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- Until there is more information about 9, I don't think there is enough information to make a decision if the articles need to be merged. NeoGeneric 💬 22:31, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- How about “Himawari 8/9” for the title? -- Meow 16:55, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
Result: Opposed. The opinions expressed during the last 6 months are clear, and the proposal is squashed. (Someone please correct my formatting if needed; this is the first vote I've presided over.) — VoxLuna ☾ orbitland 10:09, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
