Talk:Meir

Merge of Meir (disambiguation)
I've suggested that Meir (disambiguation) is merged into this as the disambiguation page is short enough that it would make little difference to the length of this article; there are only 6 entries on that page that aren't on this page, most of which would be under a new section, and the remainder as 'Other uses/See also'. After removal of the hatnote, the size change would be minimal. — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 15:06, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Meir is not a disambiguation page, but a set index. It is also the primary topic for this term, which is why I moved it from Meir (name) in the first place. This is actually a good example of something I mentioned here, because by baking the dab page into the name list, you are implying that Meir, Egypt and Meir (album) are derived from this name. &mdash;Xezbeth (talk) 13:37, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
