Talk:Interference (optics)

Merge?
Why do we need a separate article on optical interference? Unless there is a good reason, we should merge this with Interference (wave propagation).--Srleffler (talk) 16:54, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I created this article because I believe that optical interference has many aspects, applications and examples that are not relevant to other electromagnetic waves, acoustic and other waves. The current interference (wave propagation) article is incomplete, and rambling.  It would probably benefit from being shortened, and then linking to separate articles relating different sorts of waves.Epzcaw (talk) 15:36, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
 * On reflection, you may be right. I will work on an amalgamated page, and look for opinions when it is finishedEpzcaw (talk) 20:40, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I have now created a merged article at user:epzcaw/Interference (wave propagation)


 * I am not totally convinced that this is better than having two separate articles. In any case, more work is required on the acoustic interferometry section either within the interference article or on the separate one, but I know nothing about this.
 * Comments and views welcome. Epzcaw (talk) 14:03, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I like it. It is definitely an improvement on the existing Interference (wave propagation) article. It will need some copyediting. That is best done after the merge, so that the edit history is preserved. --Srleffler (talk) 05:35, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge now done. Need to get this pages deleted - not sure how to do thisEpzcaw (talk) 17:04, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Proposal for deletion
This article has been merged with Interference (wave propagation) and is now redundant. I created the article. Epzcaw (talk) 17:11, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * No need to delete the article. A redirect is more appropriate.--Srleffler (talk) 04:36, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
