Talk:Tree (disambiguation)

Merge

Should be merged under Tree (disambiguation) and Trees should be a redirect. No point having two disambiguation pages for two forms of the same word. SCHZMO ✍ 22:36, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

As I mentioned on the Trees page, I'd argue for keeping things as they are. Not as tidy, perhaps, but more useful. The problem is that the four articles under "Trees" (a poem, a song, and two bands) are not really plurals of "tree" in the semantic sense. If searches on those topics lead to a "Tree" disambiguation page (or, worse, a botanical article on trees), people will tend to assume that these articles don't exist. No-one is likely to enter the precise search terms for those articles ("Trees (poem)", "Trees (folk band)" etc.) unless they already know that they exist. So the effect of this proposal would be to reduce the accessibility of those four articles quite dramatically.--Chris 17:34, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• I merged them without knowing this discussion existed. As it was, the "Trees" page was listed at Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup (which is how I came on it) and most of its links were also listed on this page. I second Schzmo's arguments and there is precedence for this kind of merge. However, I redirected "Trees" to "Tree" after a survey of the incoming links showed that "Tree" was what people were referring to. — Reinyday, 08:26, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Chris, i first came to this article wondering what he was talkin' about and I realised after visiting the page he thought needed a reduce in accessebility. 121.72.15.195 03:47, 17 March 2007 (UTC)anonymous

terms containing tree

A well-intentioned editor just did a cleanup of things not known as just **tree**. I think I see both sides of whether to remove or retain decision tree (for example): "it's not just a plain tree" is the argument for removing; the argument for keeping is that in some contexts, a "decision tree" would be referred to simply as "tree", hence the need for being able to find it here. Thoughts? —EncMstr (talk) 16:22, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

• If you find a book where the definition goes something like "a decision tree or simply a tree is....", then you are welcome to expand the decision tree article and add ir here. On the other hand, if it is just a sloppy verbiage, I see no reason to disambiguate, just as we do not disambiguate typos. Twri (talk) 19:15, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
