I think that there is a very good chance that this article will become redundant with [[Animal]] (or vice versa). Furthermore, [[Plantae]] redirects into [[Plant]], which is inconsistent with Animal/Animalia's separation. Do you all think that one should be merged with Animal, while both articles are still short? And if so, in which direction do you think the merge should occur?

Should "Animalia" be merged with "Animal"?

I think that there is a very good chance that this article will become redundant with Animal (or vice versa). Furthermore, Plantae redirects into Plant, which is inconsistent with Animal/Animalia's separation. Do you all think that one should be merged with Animal, while both articles are still short? And if so, in which direction do you think the merge should occur? Joshua Choi 18:01, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
