Merge

[edit]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
The result of this discussion was Do Not Merge. The most recent poster suggested merging in the reverse order ("Optometry in Ghana" into "Eye care in Ghana"), but it seems most appropriate to close this first and introduce that as a separate proposal.NukeofEarl (talk) 17:52, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think joining the two articles will not be necessary. Because:

  • Optometry in Ghana is a new field and joining it to eye care will not be appropriate
  • the article is a good stand alone as it brings out far more than the eye care in the country
  • many of the heading in the article will not fit well with the other article if merged
  • Leaving them separate will bring out the two topics more

There should be some kind of link created so that readers can jump from this page (Optometry in Ghana) to the other (Eye care in Ghana). The page "Eye care in Ghana" seems to address the problems and deficits, whereas this page is talking about new developments -- the link made between the two would provide the whole picture of the situation. A merge would also be good, although as pointed out, not extremely necessary. Bstephens393 (talk) 16:52, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A brief note re the above - following a merge discussion from 2011 I have merged Eye care in the Western Region (Ghana) into Eye care in Ghana. This is unrelated to this merge discussion re "Eye care in Ghana" vs "Optometry in Ghana." Adding this note to avoid confusion between overlapping merge proposals.

Thank you, Euryalis, for the merge and the note. Scrawlspacer (talk) 10:59, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me it would make more sense to merge "Optometry in Ghana" into "Eye care in Ghana" since the latter is the more inclusive topic and its article already contains information about ophthalmology, optometry, etc. Scrawlspacer (talk) 10:59, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
