Talk:Polymorphism

Allotropes and OO
1. What is the relationship between polymorphs and allotropy? Allotropy says diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon, here says they are polymorphs of carbon.

2. Someone should mention another sense of polymorphism -- the OO programming sense?

I agree. this has to be merged !

Polimorphism

 * Polimorphism should be merged into Polymorphism as it is just a misspelling of the actual term. Ben W Bell 14:29, 15 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Maybe this can be used as a redirect page, though. MToolen 02:16, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose that Polymorph be merged into Polymorphism. There is a lot of overlap between these two pages and readers will be better served by a single disambiguation page with all relevant links on it.--NHSavage (talk) 17:51, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Having fiddled about a bit, I also think that we should reinstate the dimorphism page as another disambiguation page.--NHSavage (talk) 19:31, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
 * A draft of how the two pages would look after I split them and add in the content from polymorph is at User:NHSavage/polymorphism_merger. --NHSavage (talk) 20:01, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
