[edit] Merge proposal

  • Pruning fruit trees is not a proper article name (it should be fruit trees pruning)
  • Several techniques and basic concepts are common to most forms of pruning.
  • There is no need for an article specifically about fruit trees pruning when pruning can handle a merge just fine.

Agreed: Some information may need to go on to the fruit trees or fruit tree forms articles if it is too specific. - Shiftchange 21:29, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. Ditto to Shiftchange's thoughts - MPF 08:42, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Agree, but request a delay... there are several good wikibooks about gardening techniques, and this would transfer nicely (will try to do so over the weekend). SB Johnny 10:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Agree. Pruning is a subject for Wikipedia. A how-to article is not what this encyclopedia article aims at. --Wetman 09:46, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Disagree with merge, although name change is appropriate. Actually it would be even better with fruit trees pruning and training. Fruit tree pruning is a specialized craft that should have its own article (and this one is woefully inadequate). Most people who are not in the trade have little concept of the importance or of the techniques of building good leaders and scaffolds on young fruit trees. One of these days, when I get some spare time to take some good photos, I'd like to rewrite it to bring it up to modern standards. Pollinator 03:46, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Wouldn't this be making it into a how-to article? Seems to me that it would be, and so would be more appropriate for wikibooks (perhaps as a chapter on pomiculture in general). SB Johnny 13:13, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Oppose per Pollinator Reo ON | +++ 13:28, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Disagree Wikipedia has articles on topiary and bonsai which involve specialized uses of pruning, are those also going to get merged. I could see perhaps upmergeing the atricle into a fruit tree cultivation article, but not into this article. Caerwine Caer’s whines 00:04, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Oppose fruit tree pruning is a different art then pruning a normal tree. --Dan027 10:11, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
