Merge with flood control
editI am suggesting to merge this article into flood control as it has quite a lot of overlapping content. On its own, it's a weak article but when merged with flood control it could nicely enrich the other article. EMsmile (talk) 06:50, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- I think it is a good idea. A flood risk management definition was recently added to the the page on flood control . we could also consider adding something about it to the page on disaster risk reduction or management Richarit (talk) 11:12, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree with you on that. I guess we could wait a little bit longer and if there is no further discussion then we carry out the merger next week or so. EMsmile (talk) 22:23, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- The merger has been completed. We can delete and redirect this page now. Richarit (talk) 14:44, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- When you do such a merger it's always best to do a cut and paste job (I think you did a copy + paste job?), so that the article that is being merged into another one gets progressively smaller until it's "empty". I've now moved the content of the lead across, too (as we had an excerpt at flood control before). There is still some remaining text where I wasn't sure if you purposefully didn't move that? I would prefer to first move it (cut and paste) and then re-arrange, condense or delete at the other article. Unless it's really very bad content, in which case it could be deleted with the appropriate explanation in the edit summary. EMsmile (talk) 21:29, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, thanks. I have rechecked and completed it now Richarit (talk) 10:02, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
