Merger discussion
Should this be merged with the main eutrophication article? Reply from Matkang: It should be merged with the main eutrophication article and even to water pollution articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matkang (talk • contribs) 12:27, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Agree. This does not need to be a free standing article, but at best a paragraph or section in the eutrophication article.  A mention in water pollution, though etrophication can also happen in soil environments as well.  &mdash; Gaff  ταλκ 13:28, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree. It should be merged! Sae1962 (talk) 10:52, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Agree. Perhaps the Limnology and Oceanography Project can take care of this. This page is not great. Ekatko1 (talk) 15:56, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Agree and comment: So the suggestion for a merger has been around since 2010 but not acted upon yet. I agree with a merger. Am just wondering if it should be merged with nutrient pollution rather than with eutrophication? and  EMsmile (talk) 02:28, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Agree, but as suggested above, much of it could find its way into Nutrient pollution. I propose that it is all merged into Eutrophication and then significant chunks are moved to Nutrient pollution. Merging it in two stages with appropriate edit summaries and notes on talk pages will preserve the history better than selective merging across two different articles.

 * That sounds good to me, User:Velella. Do you have time and energy to tackle this? If not, I could put it on my to-do list for later (next week or so). EMsmile (talk) 03:29, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I won't realistically have a chance to do any serious editing until after 12th June, but this will probably wait till then.  Velella  Velella Talk 07:42, 1 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Agree. There is not much in this article that is worth salvaging or merging. Much of the text contains errors and rather amateurish formulations. Some of it is even comical eg "Conversation Tillage" (last line). Simplest would be to take the article out of its misery and cancel it. The term cultural eutrophication can be included and explained in the main eutrophication article. Regarding the article on nutrient pollution this contains worthwhile material which could be merged into the main eutrophication article. and  ASRASR (talk) 19:37, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Comment: I have done the basic move now: moving the content of cultural eutrophication to eutrophication. Further discussion on that article's talk page. EMsmile (talk) 12:56, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
