Merge

I suggest this tiny stub be merged with the Feather article, which can expand on how this piece of a feather fits into the overall picture. MeegsC | Talk 22:54, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Barbule does not warrant a section of its own and the barbule description in the feather section would benefit from clarification and greater detail. Pleurasigma (talk) 17:55, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. I think it should be left as is for those who read about barbules elsewhere and decided to look it up here. This way they get their quick answer and/or they can click on to see where barbules fits in amongst the big picture of a pernicious feather. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.160.22.77 (talk) 05:46, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
