Proposed merge of Double-deck elevator into Elevator[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

Discussion appears to have slowed down. At the present moment there is no consensus to merge. NW1223(^{Howl at me}/_{My hunts}) 16:06, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

From the sources, this topic does not merit WP:GNG but the information could be moved into the article about Elevators in general. Aasim (talk) 19:21, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Double-deck elevator is little more than a list of double-deck elevators. The description and list (if needed) can easily be incorporated in this article. Meters (talk) 19:40, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- We might want to split the list off into a stand-alone list. Meters (talk) 19:42, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Seems straightforward enough, no reason to have articles on every sub-type of elevator. ––FORMALDUDE^(talk) 03:11, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The list is too lengthy to incorporate into the main article, but moving it into a separate page with just the list would be inconvenient for readers. Therefore the current organization makes the most sense. --Albany NY (talk) 01:58, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as Double-deck elevator is a distinct topic worth separate covereage and Elevator is WP:TOOBIG to accommodated a merge at 152k in length. Klbrain (talk) 16:07, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
