Merge proposal

There's a new page at Vascularisation, but there are several closely related topics that closely related. As Wikipedia is not a dictionary we don't need a page for each term, but rather to discuss topics together. My view is that readers are best served by having Vasculogenesis, Neovascularization and Vascularisation together, here, even though there are subtle semantic differences between them. Differences can be discussed here. Klbrain (talk) 10:47, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Distinct pages are mertied. We need to consider other related terms in this discussion, notably Angiogenesis & Arteriogenesis. Both of these have their own page, and they are big enough subjects to merit these pages. Vasculogenesis & Neovascularization are similarly large topics that with well written articles would stand on their own like Angiogenesis & Arteriogenesis. Vascularisation encompasses all of these, so can be stand-alone article that briefly introduces each concept with links to each. Sort of like History of France has an overview, with links to each period. Might want to consider usage (British/American) and whether Vascularization would resonate with the Neovascularization usage. Jaredroach (talk) 15:35, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The point about not being a dictionary is that related articles can and should be discussed in one page. I do think that even more consolidation is warranted (that is, there are examples of bad practice elsewhere), but this seems like a particularly bad example. The three terms are so closely related, and the pages so short, that readers would be best server by having the information consolidated in one place. So, the policy reasons for the merge are overlap, short text and context. Klbrain (talk) 09:11, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
