Proposed merge
[edit]This article showcases in detail a quite specific historic concept and is at the same time restricted to Germany. The coverage of engine sheds in the steam era would be certainly improved if the article was expanded to cover a wider, international scope possibly under a new title Engine shed in the steam era. Contents in Motive power depot#Engine sheds in the steam era should be merged in and further expanded.
At the same time, Germany-specific aspects can easily be merged back to the main article Bahnbetriebswerk. --PanchoS (talk) 19:24, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
- Don't merge The whole point of this article is to cover steam depots in Germany and Austria and it is already comprehensive and long enough to stand in its own right. If we want to produce articles covering detailed UK, US, etc, practice, that's fine too, but they should be kept separate, as practices, processes and terminology weren't necessarily the same. Merging a comprehensive German article with a (currently) sparse worldwide-ish section from motive power depot will result in a confusing dog's breakfast. That said, I agree it may eventually make goods sense to have a parent article covering the general principles of steam depots with links to country- or region-specific ones. I'd concentrate on working up those. --Bermicourt (talk) 21:14, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
- Don't merge The articles on the German depots are excellent - thoroughly good read. I expanded the other article sometime ago as a general guide to engine sheds and what goes on there. I have written a few pieces on other UK engine sheds highlighting those specific sheds which I think is right to do (Ipswich, Stratford, York, Custom House). I think the German articles should remain separate but the general article could usefully copy some of the material (that will apply more or less world wide). An English reader might not understand the German articles are relevant world wide.--Davidvaughanwells (talk) 20:57, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
