proposed merge

The articles Open marriage, Open marriage relationship, Open marriage styles, Open marriage acceptance, Open marriage incidence, and Open marriage jealousy ought to be merged into Open relationship.

The destination article clearly encompasses the subject matter of all six articles. These are content forks, and these have in fact become interleaved and self-referential; for instance, sections have been added to Open marriage simply to justify the existence of other articles, and likewise sections have been put into the smaller articles to point back to each other.

When the merge is completed, the significant redundancies can be readily removed, leaving a single credible destination for the topic.

I'm merging the info to open relationship and the link to open marriage.Mangokeylime (talk) 19:26, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mangokeylime, since the Open marriage article still exists, why would you move this material to the Open relationship article instead of to the Open marriage article? Because it is specifically about marriages, I made this edit. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 06:15, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As for content forking regarding the above articles, I can see Wikipedia validly having both an Open relationship article and an Open marriage article as long as the open relationship research isn't mainly about marriages. There is no need for all of the other aforementioned spin-off articles. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 06:19, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
