The result was Redirect to Evening Prayer (Anglican), given that this article already contains a "Common Worship" section. Deathphoenix ʕ 19:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Evening Prayer (Common Worship)
We need to fold this into Evening Prayer (Book of Common Prayer) and add information about non-CofE liturgies to create one Evening Prayer (Anglican) article. We can't have articles for every version of Evensong that there is. Furthermore, there is no substantive information on the rite in this article. I propose that we delete this, put any info in the other article that is not already there, and expand the newly merged article. Carolynparrishfan 03:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. This article could well just be one paragraph in that article.Rockhopper10r 04:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect; otherwise delete. --MCB 06:34, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect In principle there is no problem with having "articles for every version of Evensong that there is".  However the assertion of importance within the article "It represents a move back towards the traditional Liturgy of the Hours in the liturgy of the Church of England" is too weak.  Why has no merge been attempted on the article? JASpencer 08:07, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: That's exactly what I've attempted, but now we've this "spare" article. And I don't know what to do with it other than delete it and re-create it as a redirect.


 * Delete I think the main article ought to be Evening Prayer, and that it should "see also" to vespers for the Roman Catholic equivalent. (Likewise, vespers should point back to Evening Prayer instead of to Evensong, which at present is a disambig for the two CofE books and a Unitarian Universalist almost unrelated program.) The Book of Common Prayer qualifier appears to be unnecessary. There's almost no substance to the article proposed for deletion, and there's no point to a redirect since I can't imagine that anyone would ever look for it that way anyway. On the other hand, the main article definitely needs a lot of work incorporating the 1979 American book, if not Common Worship. Mangoe 16:25, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I have attempted to render this article utterly superfluous by incorporating more material on CW Evensong into the other article than there is in this one. Carolynparrishfan 17:30, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Carolynparrishfan has duplicated the interesting material at Evening Prayer (Anglican). Some of the remarks could also be added to Common Worship. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 16:13, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
