Talk:Cups (suit)

Merger proposal
I propose a merger of this page with Suit of goblets. These articles both cover the same playing card suit. One is simply focusing more on the esoteric use of tarot cards that bear this suit. Tarot cards are actual playing cards, regardless of their subsequent use in cartomancy. — ★ Parsa ☞ talk 20:05, 26 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Strongly oppose. The suits don't even have the same name. The playing card suit is not usually called "goblets" - that's clearly a cartomancy term. In any case, most cartomancy packs are tailor-made for fortune telling, the designs are not the same and their usage is completely different. Furthermore cartomancers give a whole raft of meanings to the cards that have nothing to do with gaming and are meaningless to card players. Furthermore many playing card packs with a suit of cups are not even tarot packs - they are ordinary 40 or 48-card Spanish or Italian playing card packs used solely for playing card games. What this article needs is expanding, not conflating with an article on fortune telling which will simply generate confusion. Bermicourt (talk) 21:05, 26 June 2019 (UTC)


 * BTW You currently have the proposal in 2 places which will cause confusion. Please delete one of them and link both pages to the same discussion. Bermicourt (talk) 21:09, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
