This page needs to contain the Job Role elements form the current Naval Architecture page as part of the cleanup process Fiddle Faddle 22:30, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

"Suggested merge" makes no sense; there's no content here to propose to merge something into.. just make the article; splitting makes perfect sense... --Mysidia (talk) 22:40, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I could not find the right tag for splitting the old article into "itself plus a new article". Your point is well made and well taken.  Please put the correct tags in.  For me it is hiding somewhere in plain sight.  I just cannot spot it.  You are rigt that there is no content.  Well there is a little content, now, but it does require more.  If you are also willing to help we can do this with ease. Fiddle Faddle 22:58, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I disagree - As pointed out in the Merging and moving pages section, every concept does not need it's own entry. There seems to be very little substance as it stands and what is here could be covered in the Naval architecture article. Please see the Naval Architecture Talk section for more on this.

 * I'm easy either way. The original proposal was part of taking the Naval architecture article and trying to split it into logical components in order to calrufy and unmuddle it.  Thus I took relatively little content and extracted it here.


 * I favour the Naval architecture article being about the science of architecture with "See main article - Naval Architect" for what are logically separate but smaller topics. But that depends on how tightly written the Naval architecture article will be when tidying has finished.  Too long and it is unwieldy.


 * However if this is put "back" into Naval architecture, this should become a redirect page.

Merge no
To my mind a merge will 1)loose the role of naval architects in terms of their functions among the engineering and education requirements of naval architecture, and more importantly 2) not provide a clear jump off point to biographies and history of important naval architects and companies. There are many entries for persons such as Farr, Frers etc, who are yacht designers but the category needs to bu linked up to /yacht designers/naval architects/ etc. Sic Transit 14:48, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Agree Merge No
For the education, in Australia, we do study marine engineering (propulsion) subjects, but not as dual degree. Antonyk 04:37, 21 September 2006 (UTC) Naval Architect
