Talk:Large Black pig

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Proposed merge

I absolutely agree that the stub article for "Large Black Pig" should be combined with Sus_scrofa, and feel also that the "large black pig" entry should be removed. Perhaps it is worth mentioning that the google search result for "large black pig wiki" links to domestic pig. (Unsigned comment by User:Fishmammal 22:50, 21 October 2007).

The Large Black is one of many pig breeds, and most of the others have their own articles, as do most breeds of other domestic animals. Generally the only ones that don't are those where no-one has got around to writing one yet. What possible reason could make this an exception? The article at present is a very short stub, but that is no reason to merge an article, and nor is a Google search (though try one on Large Black pig). Incidentally, Sus scrofa is a redirect to wild boar. Large Black is not a wild boar, it is a domestic pig, and if it was to be merged with anything, it would have to be that. Just to make it clear, my view is that this article should not be merged with anything. --Richard New Forest (talk) 22:22, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree : my vote is no to merge. The Large Black is a distinctive pig breed and this article should be expanded.Jeremy Bolwell (talk) 19:09, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
