Why did you remove my links?
Instead of busying yourself at removing "Commercial Links" and thereby discrediting the actual authors, you might do something good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.132.36.196 (talk • contribs)

Merger proposal
It is proposed (originally by ) that Biosynthesis of Cyclopiazonic Acid be merged into Cyclopiazonic acid. The parent article is a one-paragraph stub, thus no need for a WP:SPINOUT or WP:SPINOFF if most of the content about the compound on Wikipedia is about the biosynthesis – it should all be located at the parent page, as it is instead a WP:CONTENTFORK. Additionally, the capitalized title of the biosynthesis page does not follow WP:TITLEFORMAT and should be moved to the proper format if kept. Mdewman6 (talk) 19:17, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Pretty clearly this two articles should be merged. I will go ahead and do the merger, but because this may be a class assignment, I wanted to wait a day for the author weigh in.  Cheers. Boghog (talk) 20:13, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Decline Merger Proposal
Thank you so much for waiting for my response. This is a class assignment so please do not merge.
 * This is good content, but should exist as a main section in the article about the compound since this is currently the main content about the compound on Wikipedia. The content can be kept intact, just moved to a new location, with a redirect from the current title, which should serve the purposes of the assignment. In any case, this discussion should remain open without merging for at least 7 days per WP:MERGECLOSE to allow other editor input. Mdewman6 (talk) 21:01, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree that content should be merged. The place for it would be the more generic title of Cyclopiazonic acid. And Mdewman6 is right about Biosynthesis of Cyclopiazonic Acid becoming a major section in the article. The section should have the header "Biosynthesis".

 * If class assignment assessment is needed, you can go to the history and look for the revision before merging. But Wikipedia works by allowing others to improve what is there, and writing does not just become frozen in place forever. So class assignment planning will have considered this already. It is usually best to discuss the title of new work up-front to see if the topic is suitable, or if there is a better place to put it. Merging does not have to take place immediately.

 * When is the class assignment completed? I assume it is soon as we head into summer. The merge could likely be completed afterward. In the meantime, a talk page should be created where the class assignment is noted. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:16, 29 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Class assignment is completed June 11th. Bonnie vs Biochem (talk) 01:39, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, let's keep the merge discussion open until at least June 11th, 2021. Mdewman6 (talk) 01:47, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Merger complete
Since it has been a week after the class assignment has finished. I went ahead and merged Biosynthesis of cyclopiazonic acid into this article. Boghog (talk) 19:51, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
