*Support - They are related to the same game. They should be placed on one page with different headings for the types of cards. --dwightwatson 12:28, 5 June 2006 (AEST)
*Support The two articles both deal with penalties in a sport, and are quite similar to each other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.162.17.132 (talk • contribs)  at 12:32, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Support some sort of merge

message: *Support - The two pages cover most of the same material, and many passages are identical or very similar.  Thus, I propose a merge, into a new page called Yellow and Red cards or something similar. Mistamagic28 (talk) 23:12, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Comments/Other

message: It seems like the most common reason for supporting some form of merge was that most of the actual content of these pages pertained specifically to football (soccer) and/or that much of the content was already present in misconduct (football).  On the other hand, one of the reasons for opposing the merge was that, in spite of the actual content of the articles, red and yellow cards are in fact used in many other sports.  Therefore, I took all of the stuff from the yellow card and red card pages that pertained to football (soccer) and merged it into misconduct (football).  This eliminates a lot of duplicated content and, at least IMHO, makes it much easier to understand how the whole system works by reading one article.  At the same time, it doesn't make it appear as if yellow and red cards are restricted exclusively to that support. If anyone is so inclined, the red card and yellow card articles can still be expanded by adding information about the use of the cards in other sports.  I realize this solution probably won't please everyone, but hopefully it addresses most of the concerns that have been raised to date. rhaas 01:14, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Partial Merge Performed

message: Presumably they're used in NH rugby league? as they're not used in Australia. Not sure what their purpose is though, as the two yellows equals a red doesn't apply, and there's no need to keep a tally. --Angry mob mulls options 00:27, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
