[edit] Merge Öchsle scale and Baumé scale into Brix

Oppose. Not under Brix. Could see merging all into Wine and brewing hydrometry. No. That doesn't work. How about Wine and beer hydrometry? No. Wine making and brewing hydrometry? No. Oppose awaiting better title. --Saintrain 11:56, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Brix and baume are not limited to wine making and brewing either. GraemeLeggett 12:59, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't mind working on a better title but could explain why Brix is unacceptable? Agne^Cheese/^Wine 18:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

They measure the same thing, but they're historicaly and geographicaly different. Similar to lumping tham all under Öchsle. Fahreheit and Rankine aren't (I hope; well shouldn't be, anyway) lumped under Celcius. How about Sugar hydrometry? Yuch! Sucro-hydrometry? Yuch!!! --Saintrain 21:59, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I can see that point. I do think there should be some type of merge because I really can't see any of the three articles becoming more then a stub-especially since they are all essentially about the same thing. Agne^Cheese/^Wine 06:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Oppose, also. Although they're all technically measuring the same thing, they have different histories and and are slightly different in their connotations. I can see merging the three in to a single article, just Brix isn't the right choice of title for it. Although, I'm kind of at a loss as to what would be the right name. --- The Bethling^(Talk) 06:34, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Brix doesn't look like a stub article. Its not a long article but I'd say it has most the elmeents of a proper article.GraemeLeggett 09:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Merge Destinations

How about Hydrometry? Agne^Cheese/^Wine 06:36, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

that is a redirect to hydrometer, at the moment. since I made it one anyhow. GraemeLeggett 09:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Well then how about a merge into hydrometer? Agne^Cheese/^Wine 09:09, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Hydrometer is only the device, and there are other ways of using the scales eg refractometry, trombone like sections of pipe in a continuous process stream.GraemeLeggett 09:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
