"Air" redirect

Latest comment: 11 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Air currently redirects here, but it should rather redirect to Atmosphere of Earth. This article is about an atmosphere as a generic feature of any given celestial body, when we talk about "air" we talk about our atmosphere, and that's the most likely intended search for people looking for "air".

I changed the obscure Qualities of air redirect to Air quality, as that seems the more likely search term. The associated hatnote has been removed. Praemonitus (talk) 16:30, 22 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Merge with Extraterrestrial atmosphere

Latest comment: 2 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This article seems to cover the same ground as Extraterrestrial atmosphere but in less depth. Should these articles be merged? Fdfexoex (talk) 17:10, 5 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I suspect that WP:SIZE would be a significant issue. Both articles are already quite large, so I think they need to remain separate. Praemonitus (talk) 12:57, 25 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
