Merge Request

This article needs to be merged with Superior good, which describes the same concept. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Closed Limelike Curves (talk • contribs) 06:00, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Perhaps this article should focus on the layperson meaning, while the other focuses on the economic term. Benjamin (talk) 06:45, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

If anything it should be the other way round, but I think a merge is correct. Johnbod (talk) 12:16, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Support merge, and support what I think is the intended direction of Superior good to Luxury goods. The latter is the COMMONNAME, which already, rightly, discusses both the lay meaning and economic concept. Therefore, merge due to overlap (or even duplication).

• Oppose (contrary to what I sais in March) Superior good is only a term in economics, and arguably not exactly aligned with Luxury goods - the other talk page has disagreements about this. If merged the latter should be the title, which the nom should have clarified. What about Premium pricing, Aspirational brand and others? If merged, the art history section should probably be floated off. Johnbod (talk) 12:15, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
• Maintain support for merge to Luxury goods. The overlap is significant and it is fine to discuss the implications of luxury goods on both market economics and art history on the same page, as long as the size of the joint page isn't unreasonable. There are no size concerns here, and the Superior good is poorly referenced; there is better material on this topic already in the Market and Socioeconomic significance section on the Luxury goods page. Any differences in nomenclature can be discussed on a merged page. Klbrain (talk) 14:38, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
