[edit] Article's state
Looking through the history of this article it has been created as an article but changed to redirect to list of astrologers repeatedly. Little to no reasoning was given in these actions, and I see no reason to leave it as a redirector when this topic could actually be written extensively about. Sam 06:16, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Proposed merge with astrology
Why? The text in this article is actually from the astrology article. Merging it would be repetitious. Sam 17:59, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- The question is the answer. It should be merged because it's a duplicate article. Uncle G 13:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- How would merging this into astrology be done? The text in this article is taken from the introduction of the astrology article; there is nothing to merge.
I just recently created this page (see heading above) after it being thoughtlessly redirected to List of astrologers repeatedly. If astronomer can exist without being a "duplicate" of astronomy, why can't this article? Sam 16:01, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- If the entire text is duplicated, then it is simply the case that step #5 of the article merger process is an easy one. As for your final question: It's up to you to tell us, not the other way around. It's up to you to explain how this article can be more than the exact duplicate that (as you yourself say) you have created. Uncle G 12:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- To reiterate, this article's text is redundant and so short because it was just recently salvaged after being redirected to List of astrologers, not because it cannot be elaborated on. I think this topic's weight is pretty obvious, so I instead would like to hear why you feel the topic could not be expanded on. Sam 23:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- Once again: It's up to you to tell us, not the other way around. It's up to you to explain how this article can be more than the exact duplicate that (as you yourself say) you have created. Uncle G 16:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Having to explain this article's worth is absurd. If you can't see the value in a profession that has existed for thousands of years I'm not sure what to say to you. Sam 22:18, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- If no one else has any thoughts, I would like to remove the templates. Sam 03:28, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
