Criticisms of veganism

[edit]

And another POV fork in ignorance of our policy. Merge, if necessary, no redirect. --Pjacobi 22:11, 2005 Feb 21 (UTC)

  • Merge and redirect to vegan, which already has a section for it and has not reached the 32kb limit. By the way, vegan could use some criticism towards those many external links. JoaoRicardo 23:56, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • I agree with Joao, merge and redirect--nixie 00:30, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Unless there is a policy that we should only make separate pages for subsections when the article itself is over a certain size, I would prefer to have the criticisms of veganism not completely merged into the article. The criticism is already fairly big, and if it were fully merged into the vegan article, it would dominate nearly half the article (not counting external links). Eric Herboso 03:52, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Wikipedia is not and internet directory, and the vegan page sure has an extensive (perhaps too long) section deveoted to external links, cut out the repetitious content externally linked and there'd be plenty of room to add the criticisms to the main article if you're worried about page length.--nixie 05:20, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Vegan. I would agree there are a substantial number of external links on that Vegan page. Megan1967 05:55, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Vegan. POV fork. --Viriditas | Talk 09:46, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect - can be broken out again when the main article is long enough - David Gerard 14:54, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect. Death to POV forks. Dpbsmith (talk) 15:05, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • M&R, also cut the excess weasel words (and the vegan external links). JFW | T@lk 15:08, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This article was pulled from main vegan article to reduce the size and because a fair amount of redundancy had appeared. There was no objection offered before the severing of the two articles. --Ahc 04:23, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • And the solution to repetition within an article is to make two articles that say the same thing? --nixie 04:34, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
      • No by removing it from the main article, the editors have been able to find and strip out a fair amount of text that should not have been part of it to begin with. Since the article is no longer a debat, the information can be cleaned up in a less charged environment. It has reduced the repetition in both articles as a result. --Ahc 16:23, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect. Criticisms should be discussed in their proper context, not shunted off to the side. If the Benefits of veganism (and perhaps other sections of the main vegan article) are broken out into separate articles and maintain a parallel structure, I will change my vote to "keep separate". Rossami (talk) 23:40, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • I don't see why that couldn't be done as well. --Ahc 16:23, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect Criticism should probably remain within the same article, unless filesize is exceeded at a future date. As it stands, why split them? bodhisattvah
  • Merge. Let's have all the pro-and anti-vegan material in one article (says this vegetarian who'd never become a vegan) Zantastik 00:09, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I think it's better that the criticisms be here rather than on the same page as the article, since this page has the potential to become somewhat longer than it already is, which I think would detract somewhat from the veganism article. Better that the veganism article say that the criticisms are out there, and you can read them on the separate page if you want. I think this is a legitimate article and should be retained, at least by merging if not by keeping it here, which I think better.
