Lamb

Unbelievealy short. Much of the information could be stolen from Sheep. Is one of the most wanted stubs.

 * And why would you want to duplicate that information? That just makes two places to maintain. - User:Samsara (talk • contribs) 01:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)


 * It wouldn't be duplicating it would be adapting the information.St jimmy 10:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm... well, the original phrase used was "could be stolen", see above. My opinion is that sheep should be nominated instead (since it's not a particularly good article either), and lamb should redirect there, incorporating all the information currently in lamb. They are the same species, and as for the gastronomical aspect, the flavour of the juvenile and adult is broadly similar. The industries and breeds may differ, but that should be in separate articles in any case. Above all, I think you need to define what exactly this article is going to be about. - User:Samsara (talk • contribs) 11:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Other species (eg Cattle) have articles for their babies (Calf). St jimmy 12:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * In that case, it is needed as a disambiguation page, and the article about cattle is a lot more substantial than that about sheep. I'd suggest you start by improving sheep. - User:Samsara (talk • contribs) 01:40, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * At some point I noted on the lamb article that the article isn't needed, even if it should be maintained minimally as a redirect or disambig. You can see with the article about "calf" that the article includes information about cattle and apart from that it is just dictionary definition. There is already an article "lamb (food)" to talk about lamb in a culinary context, so I say the lamb article could be ditched altogether or changed to a disambig. Same goes for calf.

 * Exactly my point. See my earlier comment. - User:Samsara (talk • contribs) 09:31, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
