Reason for merging Leaf window

I just notice that you merged leaf window into fenestration a few months back. Fenestration (holes in leaf) is a fundamentally different concept then leaf/epidermal window, and other than their names' etymologies, their similarity ends. As you, stated in you merge edit, the articles didn't much overlap for this precise reason. Is there a good reason why you did this?

If not, I would like to unmerge the previous article and set up a disambiguation page. Using a merge notifications such as the "merge-to" template would have been good before you went ahead since this would have allowed for a quick discussion.-- Sjschen (talk) 03:16, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

There was a merge template on the page before I merged. Also the introductory sentence of the fenestration:

Fenestration is a term in botany that refers either to natural holes or to translucent areas in the flowers or leaves of some species of plants.[1][2]

Since the definition of fenestration includes leaf windows I thought it suitable to merge.03:42, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply. It would have been helpful to put a merge-to on the other page. Still, the term "Fenestration" is used in different context the two cited references. With the Cambridge glossary (2001) specifically indicating a translucent area in the leaf (epidermal window) and the Kew glossary referring to actual perforations (holes)in a leaf. This unfortunate and ambiguous use of the term inappropriately combines two functionally different leaf morphologies. If anything, the term "Fenestration" should be disambiguated(as a page or as a article heading) and the material for the two morphologies should have separate articles. -- Sjschen (talk) 19:55, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

If you wish to do that, by all means go ahead. I don't have a strong position on the matter.Wasp32 (talk) 01:52, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Great. Will do. -- Sjschen (talk) 13:40, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
