[edit] Merge Graben and Horst (geology) into Horst and graben
I think it would be beneficial to have these in one article, since they have similar images and explanations. +mt 20:47, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

- Disagree - I would say that Horst and graben should be eliminated by merging into the individual articles Horst and Graben. The two terms may often be used together, but by no means always, and "graben and horst" is as common a usage as "horst and graben" when they are combined in a phrase. IMO the phrase is not something the encyclopedia user would search for, but one or the other individual terms - which are very different features, despite their common association with each other.

- Yes a single article on each would surfice, but with an inter-relationship in the article construction between the two. Enlil Ninlil 19:33, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

- Disagree - Although closely related, they are different, like syncline and anticline. Mikenorton 15:58, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

- Though closely linked in usage, the two terms (I think) tend to be looked up separately. I see the question as whether a pointer on the individual-feature articles to one on the pair of terms would be more useful than - as at present - a pointer from the phrase to the separate terms. It may be a tossup which is better, but as long as the links are clear the user can get the info they seek either way. Ronks (talk) 02:51, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
