Copied from Talk:Forest Research Institute April 2012[edit]

this title is general, not just India Although this institute has a long history and English as its native tongue, most forested countries have a national forest research institute, so I think this is a general term. Thus this article should deal and describe these institutes in general and each national, private or commerial research institute should have a separate title under a category of research institutes and forest research institutes.

I'd disagree with Pihka on that. In my view, this article is correctly named for its subject, though there is clearly the possibility of a new global article on Forestry research. Meanwhile I've added a few stubs to Category:Forest research institutes and a Forest research (disambiguation) page. Since Category:Forest research institutes is a sub-category of Category:Research institutes, I don't think we need to use the higher-level one too. I'll copy this talk to the dab page for reference.--Mereda 08:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with the first comment, and suggest that this article be renamed Forest Research Institute (India). To add to the confusion, Forest research currently directs to a UK govt organization. FYI, there is now also a new List of forest research institutes. DASonnenfeld 13:10, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
