Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Merging multiple pages of Python Programming

 * Python Programming/Databases
 * Python Programming/matplotlib
 * Python Programming/Dbus
 * Python Programming/GUI Programming
 * Python Programming/numpy
 * Python Programming/PyQt4
 * Python Programming/Web Page Harvesting This one is empty; adding content to a new/different chapter

I have merged these to Python Programming/3rd-party modules. 21:19, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * There are at least two problems:
 * You didn't add everything into Python Programming/3rd-party modules (eg: "import MySQLdb").
 * The topic of Python Programming/3rd-party modules seems to large to me, and its content must be too long to avoid scrolling a lot when searching a needle in the haystack on a slow page. Moreover, this lack of precision is undesirable to create the links to the sister project (eg: numpy, PyQt), which could bring us more visitors.

 * Page merges inside a project only require community consensus if you seek reassurances regarding your actions, consensus should be gathered among the project's editors and a merge tag is not necessary, you do the job yourself unposed or express your "merge" concept on the project's talk page.
 * I move that this talk stream should indeed be move to the project's talk page and no merge tag be used on individual project pages (this is not Wikipedia).
 * PS: Page merges are distinct from deletions (like the one above on the same book space (deletions merit a discussion if content or structure is lost, as we do not outright delete stubs and proposed for deletion content may be of use elsewhere)). --Panic (discuss • contribs) 11:24, 21 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Per JackPotte and Panic. There would be no real gain out of such a merge; it would result in a potentially overlong page that merely agglutinates disjoint topics. --Duplode (discuss • contribs) 23:31, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * obviously. If the Python Programming book team (which is basically me) decided to introduce a nested chapter structure, they would do it by renaming, not by copying and deleting. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 09:42, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
