My thoughts about this article and Intrapersonal communication
Human communication is a vast subject (since it encompasses nonverbal communication, speech, writing, visual, Internet etc.) and I think this article might become much longer in the future. I added some mentions of these different types of communication into the article. But I think the first item in the list of communication types, "Intrapersonal communication (communication with oneself)" could be removed since I think this article is about communication between humans. Maybe move it to the "See also" list? 176.93.61.49 (talk) 00:43, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I just noticed that this article is about a field of study instead of human communication. I was reading Wikipedia articles about dog and cat communication, and then the article Human, and these things together mislead me when entering this article. I won't edit it further. I guess the nature/definition of this article might be a controversial subject. Is there discussion somewhere in Wikipedia about these types of articles? About whether we should write Wikipedia for people or write more objectively, like having non-human readers in mind? Thanks. 176.93.61.49 (talk) 01:09, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

Proposed Merger
I propose merging Face-to-face interaction with Human communication. Face-to-face interaction does not seem to entirely meet the notability guidelines, and I believe it would better serve as a subcategory of human communication.

I’ve pinged the most recent editors of both pages that might have an opinion on this. If anybody supports or opposes this, please say something. Miralitt (talk) 13:57, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Given that it has been approximately a week since I proposed this and no discussion has taken place, I will begin to enact the merger. Miralitt (talk) 01:27, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I did not notice this proposal, but I'd have likely objected. Setting aside the detail that the merger discussion was not bottomposted here (I fixed it while replying), a simple GScholar query shows this is a notable subtopic. I think we will need to split it off shortly. Sorry to say, but it seems like a pointless make-up work (instaed we could use someone willing to spend time and do the mergers related to the Information Age, for example). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:01, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
