Hazard Symbol/Safety Sign Merger proposal

You placed a maintenance template on the Hazard Symbol article suggesting it should be merged with Safety sign, but didn't post a proposal explaining why you think they should be merged on the talk page on either article. You should place a new post at the bottom of the talk page, Talk:Safety sign explaining why you think they should be merged. You can see an example of a proposal on Wikipedia:Merging - Step 1: Create a discussion. (You should also add the merger template to the top of the Safety sign article, like you did on Hazard symbol.)

It's hard to respond to the idea if we don't know your rational for it, as well as discuss the idea in a singular place.--The Navigators (talk) 02:22, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Will do, thx Gringinu (talk) 21:38, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Something else I wanted to bring up is that I had an alternative idea, rather than merge hazard symbol with safety sign, what about this:

Split Hazard symbol, creating a new article "safety symbol". Broadening this means we could include non-hazard symbols, and dive into the broader concepts of the history and design. I believe that I have enough reference materials gathered that I could stand up and justify a separate article.

The existing Hazard symbol becomes focused on 'chemical hazard symbols'. (GHS, NFPA 704, EU Directive 67/548, UN ADR & US DOT markings, etc) I think there's enough material that it could be justified as a separate article, and a number of other projects went that route.

I think this would allow us to focus both topics, and provide a more comprehensive examination of them then the current article allows.

I don't think that a merger with safety sign would give us the best outcome. I feel the symbols portion of the topic would get significantly diminished, similar to how safety signs were diminished when they were part of the traffic warning sign article prior to mid-2019. This is the article shortly before the new safety sign article, in May 2019.

I'd be willing to put together the split proposal and get the ball rolling on it. I just have a little bit going on, so I work on it too much right this moment.-- The Navigators (talk) 05:12, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Question about an edit on 'Hazard symbol'

So, I'm curious why you removed most of the table in the Hazard symbol article back on 13 December. Was there something wrong with it? (Edit in question: 11:40, December 13, 2024. (UTC))-- The Navigators (talk) 20:16, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

The title of the table "Examples of common symbols" not to show every variation of a warning sign and as the symbol stays mostly the same between them apart from the US I removed them, also many of them were wrong and out of date. Gringinu (talk) 18:49, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
