Merger proposal
This content would be better served in the article on founder effect. It's quite technical and without context it's difficult to understand. Stuff like gene surfing is casually mentioned despite that being the only mention of it on all Wikipedia.Citing (talk) 03:50, 11 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Oppose - overtechnicality and use of unusual terms are grounds for editing, not merger. The two topics share one word in their titles, and little else (they aren't the same effect). Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:01, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to keeping it separate. I lean merger because it's not a phrase that appears anywhere else on the site and the highly specific language makes it seem like it'd fit in better elsewhere (though if not at founder effect, maybe an evolutionary biology or ecology article). FWIW the main contributors are the authors of the article describing the hypothesis. Maybe they're willing to improve/clarify it or find a better article for the content.Citing (talk) 13:46, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The authors of FTA are open to the concept being mentioned or tagged under Founder Effect, except that the concept described by FTA is more complex. Whereas the Founder Effect is a straightforward concept (essentially Genetic Drift associated with population establishment), FTA involves a founding effect followed by exclusion of the genes of subsequent dispersers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.80.45.192 (talk • contribs)
 * Do you mean they suggest merging as long as it's given context (i.e. describing it as a consequence or result of the founder effect, and outlining the FTA hypothesis)? Or are they against merging.Citing (talk) 17:49, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Reluctant oppose - It is stubby and will not likely grow in the future; however, for me, due to the quality of references, it should stay its own article. Eventually it won't stay so orphaned. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 21:22, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
