Kyūdō/Kyūjutsu merger

[edit]

I removed the Kyūdō / Kyūjutsu merge proposal by User:Dbachmann. WP:MERGE procedure not followed, and no discussion a year later. ---> Prburley (talk) 02:45, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A vote by a practitioner: Reading this 12 years later, it still seems appropriate to merge kyujutsu and kyudo. The two terms do not relate to different disciplines, and not even different stages in the development of Japanese archery, but are rather just two ways of many of referring to the same practice - or rather group of related practices in extant traditions and the modern, unified practice under the All Nippon Kyudo Federation (which has an encompassing definition of two major styles that include the old schools). One should avoid reifying what simply are two terms besides others that are less known in the West (like "yumi" or "yumiya"). "Kyudo" is special only in the sense that the ANKF made it the standard term after WW2. Bueskytter (talk) 14:33, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well considering that this article consists literally just of the first part of the Kyūdō article they should be merged... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8108:1E00:1924:C929:EBF3:784:DD3F (talk) 14:33, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
