Merger proposal

A sixteen segment display only differs from a fourteen segment display by spitting the top and bottom horizontal segments in two. I don't think two articles are needed for such a minor difference. --79.71.37.21 (talk) 21:30, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]



While the are similar Physically the patters they can display are quite different. 14's are much more common than 16's and a 16 does not look and feel like a 14. I do think that the 16 article need more info on how and why it differs form a 14 in use (not just construction). I am against merger, but rather for more info, advantages/disadvantages and sources on the 16 Larek (talk) 15:38, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Oppose. They are two different kinds of displays. 'FLaRN'(talk) 23:43, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. If 14-segment and 16-segment were to be merged, then there's no reason you wouldn't want to also include 7-segment displays and make it one big article for "segment displays." Is that really necessary? I don't think so. Art Cancro (talk) 15:44, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
