- Can anyone put theirselves on the list to join? I will. I've seen many discussions on merging topics, but could never see one good reason why the Mergists wanted to merge a well-written article into a short section on a list. → C Teng [talk] 20:17, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- Look at how long the list of mergists is compared to this! This association is new compared to the Mergists', right? → C Teng [talk] 20:21, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- Damërung This is my main philosopy.... i mean, why deleting or merging articles just because they are small when they can become larger or at least nice. -- 20:47, 29 April 2009 (UTC-5)

- GreggEdwards Both Splits and Merges contribute to a balanced Nuome. These represent one dimension of Cognitive Style sensu Herman Witkin. He observed that one dimension was Lumpers vs. Splitters, also strongly correlated with Elaborators vs. Skeletonizers. These tendencies seem roughly heritable, so by some interpretations of evolutionary genetics, both contribute to collective fitness. Note that the Encyclopedia Britanica had both approaches working together: the Macropedia (Lumper), and the Micropedia (Splitter). Most successful books in the form of a Thesaurus also combine approaches to serve both: the Category list (Lumper), and the Index (Splitter); Roget's Thesaurus gave equal space to both. The more highly rated reviews of thesauri at Amazon.com strongly testify to the value of using the two approaches together.
