Power electronics technology

This page is a content fork and substantial duplicate of Power electronics. Wtshymanski (talk) 13:37, 24 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment Looks like a pretty clear cut duplication of Power electronics and I think that the inevitable conclusion would be to merge. Editor who created it (and a significant editor of the Power electronics article) User talk:P-Tronics is a newbie who IMHO was occasionally treated badly by Wtshymanski. They also asked me a general question about article scope definition, but not this specifically. WP:Please do not bite the newcomers.  Hopefully they will participate here and we can have a nice discussion here to sort this out. North8000 (talk) 12:17, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep / Userfy / Merge There is the most facile and skin deep resemblence between the articles, and a huge amount of content in "P e t" that is not in "P e". Try taking the content from one and copying over the other and See Changes; it is striking. It could make another article or it could be merged. I only support a merge if the material is actually included, not one of the "redirect and forget" actions I see so often. Anarchangel (talk) 03:54, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment by nominator A merge would have been preferable but the tag was removed. The two articles are about the same subject, it's not Wikipedia style to have multiple articles on the same topic. --Wtshymanski (talk) 13:41, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd be willing to do the merge. Also I'd talk to User talk:P-Tronics to explain that this is for the best. It would be take a couple weeks to do the merger, especially with my schedule, not to try to instantly implement with an AFD closure. North8000 (talk) 13:49, 27 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * merge with an added trout to Wtshymanski, who's past hostile behaviour at Power electronics is what led to this content fork. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:24, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Perhaps you could give a reason for your !=vote rather than just attacking the nominator. Edison (talk) 14:17, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Andy Dingley (talk) 14:40, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you could explain what your raw citations are supposed to prove. Edison (talk) 05:22, 2 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge Power electronics technology into Power electronics. The Power electronics technology article has a significant amount of sourced information that is not in the Power electronics article. This would significantly enhance and improve the Power electronics article. The more generically-titled article "Power electronics" is where information about its technology and technological advancements should be merged to. Northamerica1000(talk) 01:28, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * 'Merge per Northamerica; that is a reasonable outcome. Bearian (talk) 18:12, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge per my comments above. And take enough time to do it to REALLY retain the material. North8000 (talk) 20:45, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
