Comment on merged article

MESH Cities are an evolution of the concept of smart cities and, because of that, deserve recognition as a distinct entity. The late Dr. William Mitchell of MIT embraced the term Smart Cities in the 1990s. As someone who was advised by Dr. Mitchell, I'd suggest that he did not envision the term being a final, generic descriptor. He would have encouraged that intelligent cities be shaped by new methods and approaches never envisioned under the Smart Cities umbrella. MESH Cities are to Smart Cities what a Boeing 787 is to the general topic of commercial passenger aircraft. We allow those distinctions in fields like aviation, why lump distinct innovations in a category back to the initial concept? In the past MESH Cities was linked as a reference in Smart Cities. I suggest we return to that approach. Many thanks for your reply. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robertyyz (talk • contribs) 17:32, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. However, rather than reinstate this article at this stage, I propose that we cover this within the Smart City article. It is not uncommon to do this for sub-articles of the type you are describing. I am going to copy this comment to the Smart City article talk page.
