merge proposal[edit]

I'm thinking of merging Charity Shop, Junk shop, Antique shop and Used bookstore into this article. All of them are too fragmented, some stubs, and lots of overlapping material, and I think they'd be better under one more substantial article to explain the concepts and issues more effectively. Views welcomed before I take this on though! ohsimone (talk) 09:16, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Given how much trivia there is in WP it's interesting that there's so little (especially referenced) stuff in these articles. From my perspective (small-town UK) charity shops and antique shops have little in common so the long term aim should be to have separate articles for these notable subjects. They might make good subjects for student projects (see outreachwiki:Global_Education_Program). Charity shop is (or should be) about a "business" model, is a decent size article (albeit with problems) and is in the Charity template so I don't think it should be combined with the other articles which are each about shops selling a particular type of goods.
