User talk:Shieldfire

You asked about merging Snow cream with Snow (dessert). Normally you would be required to tag the two articles with merge suggestion tags and open a space for discussion on one of the talk pages (see Talk:Cholent and Talk:Chamin for a recent example). In your case, both articles are very short and the situation is so obvious that I don't think you need to open a discussion and wait for an opinion poll. So you should (a) decide which of the two names you want to use as the main article; (b) edit the text under that name so that it faithfully reflects and combines both merge components; (c) delete (or hide) the existing content of the other article in the pair being merged (without touching its name!) and insert a redirect instruction from it to the full article. In this way you do not delete anything, you do not rename anything, and no problems arise. Good luck. --Zlerman (talk) 17:11, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
