Merge

Merge suggested because article lacks enough content to work as a stand-alone. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 00:43, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would oppose It has more content than most of the tarot articles on indiviual cardsSmiloid (talk) 07:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also oppose merger. The chief article on tarot is quite long already. I would like to see some standardization between this page and some of the much better pages, such as Suit of Cups (tarot), a standard terminology would be a beginning. There's been enough written about Tarot to easily justify full articles on each of the seventy=eight cards. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, valid stub now. Removed the tag. Consensus doesn't support it either way. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 13:35, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Restored Content

The restored content appears to consist of unencyclopedic fancruft and should be removed.99.225.92.127 (talk) 20:45, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Source?

Where do these definitions come from? A lot of the titles and descriptions don't match up with what's on each individual card's page (e.g. "The Spy"). --taras (talk) 00:32, 9 February 2011 (UTC) Agree, I can't seem to find anything else but this articles which refers to the card with these attributes/characters. And there are many which will only talk about this in reference to the wiki article.[reply]

Merge from

I am suggesting that the information on the individual card pages for the swors suit would be better placed in Suit of swortds pageTetron76 (talk) 17:15, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization

I would like to change the capitalization to Suit of Swords. This matches the usage within the article, in the namesake category, and seems to be common usage on the web. Chapters of books and songs in an album are both capitalized as formal nouns and I think this section of the deck of cards is equivalent. There is already some verbiage at that redirect so I'll need a WP:RM to make this change. Any concerns before I do that? RevelationDirect (talk) 08:36, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I propose a merger of this page with [[Swords (suit)]. These articles both cover the same playing card suit. One is simply focusing more on the esoteric use of tarot cards that bear this suit. Tarot cards are actual playing cards, regardless of their subsequent use in cartomancy. — ★Parsa ☞ talk 19:48, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly oppose. The only connexion is that they use the same name for the suit. Most cartomancy packs are tailor-made for fortune telling, the designs are not the same and their usage is completely different. Furthermore cartomancers give a whole raft of meanings to the cards that have nothing to do with gaming and are meaningless to card players. Furthermore many playing card packs with a suit of swords are not even tarot packs - they are ordinary 40 or 48-card Spanish or Italian playing card packs used solely for playing card games. What this article needs is expanding, not conflating with an article on fortune telling which will simply generate confusion. Bermicourt (talk) 21:05, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Bermicourt. Perhaps a renaming of "Suit of swords" to "Swords (Tarot suite)" or something is in order? –♠Vami _IV†♠ 06:58, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
