[edit] "Road safety"

Original research. I've looked at the Road safety article, and I don't think anything can be merged with it, really.--Shanel 22:46, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

• Emphatically not original research. See the citations listed at the foot of the article. - Just zis Guy, you know? 23:02, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment. Sorry, I should have said essay instead. It does sound like one.--Shanel 23:04, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Not that either. Dispute the title by all means, but this is a genuine article about a documented issue. - Just zis Guy, you know? 23:08, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

• Merge to road safety. Seems like one should be able to create a section describing this issue in the other article. --howcheng [ talk • contribs • web ] 23:22, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
• Perfectly valid POV, but I see no reason why it can't be merged into road safety. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 00:51, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete road safety already covers this and noone is going to search for this name. Capitalistroadster 02:16, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • IMO road safety is already too long and tending to ramble. But I will give the matter some thought. - Just zis Guy, you know? 18:16, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed solution

Road safety is already long and merging a consideration of this topic will make it longer than desirable, but there is a large section on road safety interventions which is getting quite detailed; it would be possible to split that out as Road safety (interventions). Alternatively I could keep this (which I'm still actively researching and have just got some more source papers) and retitle it Road safety (controversy) or some such. I don't much mind which. - Just zis Guy, you know? 16:54, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Road safety is an important subject, with numerous aspects, so I could see a number of detailed articles being summarised in the main road safety article. There is already management systems for road safety, so why not road safety interventions too? GeorgeStepanek\^talk 08:33, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merge completed

I have merged the content and redirected the page, per suggestions above. Can someone please close the AfD? Thanks. - Just zis Guy, you know? 14:42, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
