[edit] Merge

I'm suggesting this be merged into Bushfire. It's stubby on its own with a generic stub tag. --Happynoodleboy 15:03, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I approve this merge. I was trying to figure out how to stub-sort it and I couldn't come up with anything. The merge seems logical. Amalas 17:11, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure if a merge with Bushfire is appropriate, because although it is integrated with bushfires, The dead man zone is also a subject of its own. However, as the creator of this article I wouldn't fight a merge with another subject... perhaps something to do with fire research? Mazzone 08:33, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oppose merge

This article has the potential to expand, and the term is not exclusive to bushfires (ie fires in New Zealand, Oz and New Caledonia) -- oppose the merge User:Pedant 16:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Oppose merge - the Dead Man Zone is a highly specific and very important characteristic of bushfire behaviour. It has been the subject of significant research and reccomendations. The article certainly has scope for expansion - description of the concept of Dead Man Zone, cases of fatalities, actions taken by firefighters to avoid "dead man zone", etc.--ABVS 10:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
