[edit] Disentanglement puzzle

Sorry about this, but Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/MoreKarlScherer ended with no consensus, due to many people voting to keep simply because they didn't want to vote on all the articles listed at once, so now they are listed seperately. This is the VfD for

• Disentanglement puzzle

For the reason to delete this article, see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/MoreKarlScherer

• Keep, lots of google hits. Not a merge, since pictures would be lost. The pictures provide immediate explanation of what it is, where words would not be able to. Slike2 01:23, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't see any reason that a merged article would have to eliminate the pictures. In fact, I think any acceptable merge (as I've voted) would surely include the pictures. Would you be amenable to merging if the photos were kept? —HorsePunchKid→龜 20:19, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
• comment, a pretty decent article could be made if articles like wire puzzle were merged with and redirected to this article. Slike2 01:51, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Clearly, merge into mechanical puzzle until there's enough information to split it off. There is a fair amount of good information spread out through these many articles, but at this point it all just needs to be consolidated. —HorsePunchKid→龜 01:54, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • I noticed the link to the german mechanical puzzle just now, and I'd agree. The stuff that's currently in mechanical puzzle needs to be cleared out, and each type can be left as headings (though that percise grouping is original research, it is a pretty decent array of puzzle types that should be included under mech puzzle).

• Merge with mechanical puzzle. An article on this concept would be pretty useful—I'm surprised we don't already have one. The "types" should all be merged, though. (A wire puzzle is...gee...one that's made of wire...really, just listing the things they can be made of would cover this.) The German version looks like it's pretty good—could someone just translate it? -Aranel ("Sarah") 02:24, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and merge into it wire puzzle and wire-and-string puzzle. This is the broadest of titles for such puzzles, and a combined article of the three would serve well. I would also recommend transferring/keeping the images from wire puzzle during the merge.Decapod73 02:31, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

  • I'm curious why you recommend merging into wire puzzle as the "broadest of titles", when mechanical puzzle is definitely more general and still encompasses the subject of this VfD and both of the articles you mentioned. —HorsePunchKid→龜 02:49, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

user has 62 prior edits ~~~~ 21:28, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

My 62 prior edits are of much higher quality than your edits. Also I have a lot of edits before I made my account. Count Iblis 21:48, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Then sign here when logged out, so that it proves your statement that you are the same as the IP that made those edits. Also note that since I have over 7000 edits, many of them are inevitably going to be of less quality than others. ~~~~ 13:04, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

I wouldn't waste time trying to convince -Ril- you're not a sockpuppet. The admins around here are generally smart enough to distinguish the real sockpuppets from legitimate contributors who haven't been around for long. If I were worried about being discounted as a sockpuppet, I wouldn't have posted my own number of edits. Chuck 17:22, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
