Talk:Hive coven

Merge?
I have no problem with merging it, as it is really just a definition. I was just following a redlink from wanted articles on the project page :) Anyway, I think it should probably merge to Wicca rather than Coven, as I assume Wicca has a def for Coven, at least a brief one. If it does not, then Coven is acceptable to me. :) --Bill W. Smith, Jr. 07:50, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I hadn't even noticed it was on the list before you created the article. Wicca already explains what a coven is, and I think information about hiving is more detailed than needed for the Wicca article, especially since it's so long already.  IMO, it would be better to merge the info with Coven so that it's there for people who want more detail and click the link. - AdelaMa e  (talk - contribs) 17:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Is the term even notable? I haven't come across the term "hive coven" before, and since all covens within traditional initiatory Craft are formed by hiving off other covens, all covens would thus be "hive covens"! It seems to be a tautology. Also, to "hive off" is a normal phrase in the English language, rather than a concept specific to Wicca. I'll make sure the process of 2*/3* and forming new covens is mentioned in the Wicca article, and I don't think any further merging is necessary. This can just become a redirect to Coven.

 * Merge, as above. This is just a dictionary definition. Totnesmartin 17:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
