I added Deciduous Trees again to this article because the entire purpose of the last AfD for Deciduous Tree was for the information to be merged into this article. As far as I could tell that information had been deleted without any reference to the aspect or mythology surrrounding the definition of deciduous tree - therefore I have added it again as a sub-text to the main article. Please could you place your argument here for deleting before deleting any aspect of an article - otherwise discuss here. Thank you. Piecraft 12:40, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- My interpreation of the decision was that any relevant information should be merged here. All of the relevant and specific information from the deciduous trees article was already in this article, so there wasn't really anything to merge. The fact that some of these trees happen to be deciduous is generally irrelevant to the myths in question, so it's not appropriate to put them into their own section.

- Ok I see your point I guess I'll revert it to it's former version, however it would be good to perhaps have a reference to the aspect that such trees are considered deciduous. Piecraft 15:39, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- What do you mean by "considered to be deciduous"? Trees are either deciduous or not; I don't think it's a subject of much debate in the scientific community. However, is there any indication that these trees being deciduous is important to the myths they appear in? Pburka 03:53, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yes bu the fact that these are mythical or magical trees could imply something else. The fact that they are deciduous helps imply that whatever item falls from that tree was of equal importance to the fable, myth or legend linked to that particular tree - whereas most trees depicted i.e. The World Tree in Norse Mythology are not as important in defining any particular elements that falls from it. 82.155.1.151 01:31, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
