Talk:Sonntagsruhe

No, the Ladenschlussgesetz is not the same as Sonntagsruhe, as the last one is rooted in religious reasons, look at the German Wikipedia article, therefore there is also no redirect. And the date of introduction is different, too, and another difference is that the Ladenschlussgesetz is not mentioned in the constitution (Grundgesetz) of Germany, but the Sonntagsruhe is. --Tibetian (talk) 16:07, 9 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Maybe they're not the same, but this article even lacks the definition what Sonttagruhe is (Sunday rest, I presume). If I'm correct, then the Law (Ladenschlussgesetz) is simply a consequence of constitutional category (Sonntagsruhe), therefore the articles should be merged (i.e. redirected to one another). This article fails to assert why is even Sonntagsruhe important, and why the German definition is different than the one in the rest of Christian world. It is orphaned, and arguably fulfills several criteria for speedy deletion. No such user (talk) 07:23, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * If it would be, then there would also be a redirect in the original German article about Sonntagsruhe http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonntagsruhe but for good reasons it is not as this is a very special topic. You see, the Ladenschlussgesetz was supported by trade unions, not by the church but the Sonntagsruhe is a churchs thing and has even took its place in the constitution, but the Ladenschlussgesetz not. This is a very special case, because it undermines the laicism and secularity of an otherwise democratic state. You see, last year mothers day was on a sunday and guess what? Not a single flower was sold! Even none-christian people could not buy flowers for their wifes and mothers! And sorry, I am newbie, what means "orphaned"? I linked it to the German article already! --Tibetian (talk) 10:49, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. "Orphan" means "an article which does not have any link to it"; at least, it should be mentioned in Ladenschlussgesetz. Since it's not ok to bite the newbies, I'll try to give this article an attempt of improvement when I find some time (not before next week). No such user (talk) 15:40, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
