Redirect to sensory nerve?

Arcadian (talk · contribs) today redirected this article to sensory nerve, without explaining why, and then Stantia3 (talk · contribs) reverted the redirect, without any explanation. The redirect seems appropriate to me given the duplication of material and the lack of sources in this article, but let's discuss, please. Looie496 (talk) 18:35, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am actually updating this page, complete with references for a project for my neuroscience class. Though sensory nerve and sensory neuron seem to have a lot of duplicate material right now, they do have two different meanings, and by the end of today, I will have added more information to better highlight their differences. Thanks for starting this discussion. Stantia3 (talk) 19:11, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, good, I agree that different articles are justified if they have different content; if anything "sensory neuron" is the more important concept. Thanks for explaining -- if you need to undo another editor's action in the future, unless it is clearly vandalism please at a minimum use an edit summary that explains why you are doing it.

Merger proposal

I would like to mergeSensory nerve into this article, because there is a great overlap and Sensory nerve is not a very good article. No references at all, and the lead should be rewritten - with much more information on sensory neurons. So... what do you think? Lova Falk talk 17:55, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. In principle there might be reasons to have a separate article, focusing on things like condunction velocity and effects of nerve damage, but I agree with you that there is no useful distinctive information in the current sensory nerve article, so I wouldn't oppose a merger. I would like to leave the option open for somebody to create a separate article in the future though. Looie496 (talk) 18:09, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. I mean, the future article. Lova Falk talk 07:55, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: Yes there may be anoverlap of information etcetra, but if some highschool/GCSE student were to use the search and find them both on the same page, they may confuse themselves as to which is which.
