Merger proposal
I propose to merge Value-based pricing into Price discrimination. As far as I understand the topics are equivalent, but the former article is written like a how to guide for bussinesses and reads like it was written by marketers (maybe to promote books?) instead of by encyclopedists.

- Notrium, I think this makes sense. "Value-based pricing" seems to just be a rebranding of Price discrimination. As I'm the first comment in over half a year, I'd say be bold and do it without waiting for more input. HLHJ (talk) 23:39, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose. These are different topics. Value-based pricing is a way of setting a price for all purchasers, based on value (how much is having the product worth to a person) rather than the cost of production. Price discrimination is about selling the same product at different prices to different purchasers, and there are a set of different reasons why businesses might want to do this. So, oppose, on the grounds that there is no duplication, and these are independently notable and distinct topics. Klbrain (talk) 10:01, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
- Closing, somewhat boldly, given my uncontested (over more than 2 months) objection. Klbrain (talk) 12:20, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
