Inadequate scope
I find it very curious this article on the production of leather begins with a prepared hide. Where does the hide come from? While I do think it's somewhat disingenuous for this article to clinically dance around the preconditioned slaughter of animals, I'm also curious to what extent this supply chain is synthesized with the meat industry and other industrial animal uses.

 * The hides used are the byproduct of meat production. I don't think anyone is hiding anything. The accusatory tone is unneeded. oknazevad (talk) 16:42, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Merge tags
So I don't know if a merge is the true solution, but I tagged the articles because there is obviously far too much redundancy between this article and tanning (leather). Six years ago I brought up my concerns on the other talk page and the only response didn't address them at all because the commenter missed the point. No matter how this all shakes out, it's clear that there needs to be a proper discussion about the contents and scopes of these two articles to address clear redundancies where both articles are covering the exact same steps in the leather making process, with notably different quality of writing and sources. oknazevad (talk) 17:03, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose merging tanning into production-processes. Many of the sub-stages of production are already their own reasonable self-contained article, as is the tanning one. I think having an overview-article and then sub-articles (each of which are non-overlapping) when there is enough to say about them is better than a more monolithic one. But I could easily support having a cleaner and more parallel-structured summary-style article here rather than the current various lists of bullet-points that do not make a coherent article itself.
