Merging the AP Computer Science articles
[edit]Can't we just combine both AP CompSci A and AB into one article? They deal with the same subject, except AB only has more material than A. If we can do it for AP Calculus, why not AP Computer Science? --physicq210 23:56, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Don't merge them. They are different exams and each has unique facts about it (such as grade distribution). There is too much information on each of the pages, and the merge would make it too confusing. --GoOdCoNtEnT 03:39, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- The AP Calculus exams are different, yet they were merged without any effect. --physicq210 22:29, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- That's because the Calculus articles were stubs. The Computer Science A page itself is several times longer than the combined Calculus article. Again, do not merge. --GoOdCoNtEnT 23:19, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

The reason I oppose the merge is not because I am proud of creating two pages, but rather because I do not want an excessively long, confusing page on both exams. --GoOdCoNtEnT 16:27, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Merge Request
[edit]Let's merge the AP Computer Science AB page with the AP Computer Science A page. The articles aren't much different, and the exams have many similarities that can be addressed in one article. --Ineffable3000 23:14, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I feel the same way. After adding the links to the topic outline, I realized that the Computer Science A page has a very similiar topic outline. This topic outline is really the *only* difference between the structure here and in AP Calc. GoOdCoNtEnT was saying that it wouldn't work as well here, but the only obstacle I see is the topic outline- everything else can be divided by section. For the topic outline, we could either have two separate ones (which would make the article to long and would be frustrating to manage) or we merge them and indicate which points are AB only. Merging the articles would make the topics more accessable because the AP Computer Science page would not have to be a disambiguation, while the A/AB pages could be redirects.
