Talk:Volcano safety

Merge?
I see no point to having this as a separate article, think it should be merged to volcanoes and redirected. Part of it duplicates that article. Other parts seem like Captain Obvious advice to me; do we really need this, for example?
 * If you are intending to venture into an area containing a highly active volcano, be aware that you are entering a potential hazard zone.

I can believe some of the details are worth discussing, but not that we need to tell anyone the above.

 * I agree. It's obvious that Volcanoes needs a "Stay safe" section, by any other name(s). Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:14, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Support ARR8 (User talk:ARR8 | Special:Contributions/ARR8) 23:00, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * But volcanoes already has a stay safe section, see Volcanoes. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk  |  contributions ) 01:30, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Right, but whatever is useful in this article should be merged there, don't you think? Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:02, 2 April 2019 (UTC)


 * I added a merge tag. I do not currently have time to do the work. Pashley (talk) 18:11, 16 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Strong support to merge, I don't see why Volcano safety should be a separate article from Volcanoes. -- ϒψιλον (talk ) 18:21, 16 April 2019 (UTC)


 * User:SelfieCity? Since you seem to have created this, would you care to comment? Pashley (talk) 18:49, 16 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Support merging in useful content. Volcano safety is an important topic for travellers interested in volcanoes, so it should not be in a separate article. Ground Zero (talk) 17:40, 20 April 2019 (UTC)


 * I separated the two articles, splitting volcanoes as a tourist attraction from volcanoes as a safety issue. But if you want to merge them that's fine. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk  |  contributions ) 18:08, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I think my point is that we shouldn't advise people on visiting volcanoes without also advising them about safety in the same article. Ground Zero (talk) 18:11, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * But we advise them about safety in that article, to a limited extent. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk  |  contributions ) 18:21, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Not to a limited extent. I've merged the text of the Volcano Stay safe section and this article. They said the same things in different ways. I went through sentence by sentence and kept the best text from each. I think if someone read the Volcano safety article after reading the Volcano article, they'd really wonder why we were telling them the same thing twice. Ground Zero (talk) 16:44, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
