Talk:Shanty town

message: I think that the search terms 'slum' and 'shantytown' (and other synonyms like favela, barrio etc. should redirect to an article called 'informal housing' which would be a merger of those articles.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.190.135.230 (talk) 15:10, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I see that there have been previous discussions about merging this article with slum. The decision was to keep them separate. But can we please have a sentence in the lead that explains the difference of shanty town to slum? That would be useful (and perhaps the same in the lead of slum).
