This article has the potential to be very successful. The lead section sets up the article for success, outlining what the article is going to be about. The article does a great job referencing historical events. It may help to further organize this section about the history of sustainability, as there is a lot of information to unpack. On the other hand, the section about careers in sustainability could be further developed. Jkierna6 (talk) 05:33, 11 September 2021 (UTC)Jkierna6[reply]

Proposed merge of Sustainability science with Sustainability studies

No consensus. (non-admin closure) ^Queen of _Hearts 05:46, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Articles cover same topic. Both emphasize academic course offerings. The "studies" article only cites a few sources and does not distinguish itself. Bluerasberry (talk) 18:55, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Totally agree; these articles should be merged. GnocchiFan (talk) 10:10, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The random copy editing suggestion box brought me here, but I'd rather not spend time copy editing a bunch of text that is about to be deleted in a merge anyway. Is there some way I can help with the merge? Aurodea108 (talk) 22:22, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Aurodea108, if this merge proposal was closed as merge, you could help by copying over content from Sustainability science to Sustainability studies. But I'm going to close this as no consensus. ^Queen of _Hearts 05:45, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No vote: Allow me to point out that there are many people out there on the postmodern side of the fence who may approach sustainability more from an emotional or quasi-religious foundation than from a rational foundation. We used to have trickle-down economics. Recently we seem to have replaced that with trickle-over sustainability. You sometimes see people behaving as if they believe that assembling enough IDE around the table will cause sustainability to magically happen, but this time a magical Marxist hand, rather than Adam Smith's much maligned paw; in both cases equally difficult to explicate directly. — MaxEnt 05:39, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The articles make no distinction, so this appears to be a straightforward case per WP:MULTIPLENAMES. No view on what the ultimate title should be, but that's less important than getting the merge done. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 16:15, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Studies and science are two different subjects, so let's leave it as is. Jusdafax (talk) 01:39, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. While clearly related, the emphases of Sustainability Studies and Sustainability Science programs and courses are sufficiently different to merit separate articles, in my opinion. It would be important to clearly define those distinctions for both articles. (In my view, the distinction would be between more humanistic, humanities, and philosophical studies, on the one hand; and more empirical, scientific, and natural science based emphases, on the other.)
