[edit] Merging international standard business attire article into informal attire

I judge the article international standard business attire to be appropriate for merging into this one, which barely has any content right now.

• the name of that article is long and cumbersome
• this mode of dress is not restricted to business but is also common in churches, at daytime weddings in the USA, funerals, government, school, etc
• the name informal attire is shorter and consistent with the other articles in the dress-code series

Pro I concur.

Negative. Um, merging international standard business attire into informal attire? I and (I believe) many would not consider what one wears to church or to a wedding as "informal". Informal suggests without form, as in no standard and I would consider a daytime wedding or church as having some kind of form. Of course, this isn't universal, but come on, are you going to wear the shirt with the mustard/blood/grass stain to church or a wedding? Maybe with the people I know, but not many others. What about Bermuda shorts and flip-flops, no barefoot? Don't confuse people, leave informal attire and "international business standard attire" separate...and yes it is a long name but it is descriptive and there is something to be said of clarity. -- This unsigned comment added by 129.65.160.90 on 3 May 2007; self-identified as "D"

You're clearly confusing "Informal" with "Casual". I've updated the article slightly to help reduce confusion.

I've completed the merge from International standard business attire and a first pass at integrating the merged content. I think some of the added text should be removed from here and merged into suit (clothing), but I'm going to let the dust settle first. hajhouse 02:08, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

How was this merge a good idea?; I am clearly missing something as 'international standard business attire' and 'informal attire' are two different and not-quite opposite dress codes. Someone looking up this encyclopedia to see what 'international standard business attire' clearly does not want to find out what informal attire is. Please revert this merge-- Boldymumbles (talk) 22:46, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
