[edit] Adding merge suggestion
I've added the merge suggestion bar to the top of both pages. I might be able to help with the merge later. TheKain 18:23, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] No Merge
As the creator of Sports Trainer i am stronly against a merge as there are several differences between the two articles. Yes they are similar but the position of sports trainer is very different to that of athletic trainer Including but not limited to; salary, working condirions, qualification required and also the role of the sports trainer in most australian rules sports is very different to that of an athletic trainer, in fact AFL football does not use athletic trainers. I know this because i am sports trainer for AFL football. thanks for the suggestion but it should not be allowed to happen. bradles_01
[edit] Re-adding merge suggestion
There's been a lot of discussion here and on ""Sports Trainer" and the general view has been in favour of a merge. The only dissenting voice is that of the original author of Sports Trainer.
Reading the articles dispassionately two things stand out: 1. The similarities between them are greater than the differences. 2. Each is parochial - this article is US-centric and Sports Trainer is Australia-centric.
Clearly what's needed is a wider article which brings together common strands but also explains different local practices. So I've added merge suggestions to both articles.

- Bradles01 was blocked for sockpuppetry and disruption once, and has done it again, so we are back to square one. If you want the deleted history of sports trainer to expand this article then you're welcome, but I suspect you could do a better job from other sources. Guy (Help!) 15:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
