Merger proposal (Implemented)[edit]

I suggest that Jalandhara Bandha, Uddiyana bandha, and Mula Bandha be consolidated into a single article, Bandha (yoga), so editors may focus their efforts on bettering a single page rather than multiple stubs. Their separation can hardly be justified given their neglect; eg. Jalandhara Bandha was last edited by a human being over a year ago, 8 May 2020.

Further, these bandhas are often employed simultaneously, purportedly working together towards a common intended effect; it makes little sense to discuss them in isolation in absence of this context (which is provided on Bandha (yoga)). Scyrme (talk) 16:07, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, given the amount of detail in these articles. I think that there is scope for reinstating them with additional sources if anyone feels like doing that, so the merger is basically just a temporary procedural expedient, tidying up the current page arrangement, rather than any belief that the topics aren't notable enough to discuss separately.
