Talk:Landflucht

Merge proposal
This merge would be inappropriate, as Landflucht is an incidence of rural flight, not the event itself. It would be like merging World War II into war. (Not that drastic, but one can see my point). Cheers! Scapler (talk) 09:43, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. This is a specific example of the theoretical phenomana. If I read German I could probably expand it more, unfortunately, that's what I was able to find in English (book) sources. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 19:06, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * See below. Er, "theoretical" ? With you knowledge of history you should know that it is practical. Materialscientist (talk) 00:15, 6 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Don't merge. The flight of rural workers to the urban areas as part of the phenomenon of industrialization is a wide phenomenon, occurring in several countries, not only Germany.  It needs greater expansion and linking to articles on similar occurrences in other areas.  Auntieruth55 (talk) 01:57, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you understand that I proposed to merge this article into rural flight as a German subsection? Did it contradict anything you're saying? Materialscientist (talk) 00:15, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * no I didn't understand this at all by what you wrote. sorry.  Auntieruth55 (talk) 23:53, 6 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Agree with Scapler. The example I had in mind was pretty much the same -- like merging The Holocaust with Genocide, or merging Irish Potato Famine with famine. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 23:03, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, go with the flow .. Materialscientist (talk) 00:15, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

''Given the snowy response I removed the tag, but. Landflucht is not an incidence of rural flight. It is a German word losely meaning rural flight. I can't judge whether it is used in Germany for a single event or phenomenon though and would appreciate a more justified comment.'' Materialscientist (talk) 00:15, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
