[edit] Merge

Should be merged under Tree (disambiguation) and Trees should be a redirect. No point having two disambiguation pages for two forms of the same word. SCHZMO ✍ 22:36, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

As I mentioned on the Trees page, I'd argue for keeping things as they are. Not as tidy, perhaps, but more useful. The problem is that the four articles under "Trees" (a poem, a song, and two bands) are not really plurals of "tree" in the semantic sense. If searches on those topics lead to a "Tree" disambiguation page (or, worse, a botanical article on trees), people will tend to assume that these articles don't exist. No-one is likely to enter the precise search terms for those articles ("Trees (poem)", "Trees (folk band)" etc.) unless they already know that they exist. So the effect of this proposal would be to reduce the accessibility of those four articles quite dramatically.--Chris 17:34, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• I merged them without knowing this discussion existed. As it was, the "Trees" page was listed at Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup (which is how I came on it) and most of its links were also listed on this page. I second Schzmo's arguments and there is precedence for this kind of merge. However, I redirected "Trees" to "Tree" after a survey of the incoming links showed that "Tree" was what people were referring to. — Reinyday, 08:26, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Chris, i first came to this article wondering what he was talkin' about and I realised after visiting the page he thought needed a reduce in accessebility. 121.72.15.195 03:47, 17 March 2007 (UTC)anonymous
