Sticky point in translation

The phrase ビーチインBOSOさざなみ (encountered in Section 1.1.1: Special trains) could have alternate meanings; the most likely is "Beach inn BOSO wavelets"—I have no information on the source of the BOSO acronym. - B.C.Schmerker 08:48, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

Received a request for merge: merge from KiHa 183 series to 183 series; dated August 2021; discussion area is below. GenQuest ^"scribble" 14:44, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose: different topics requiring separate articles. Other than having 183 as part of the designation, and being operated by JNR, there isn't much tying these together. Nyamo Kurosawa (talk) 15:52, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose - The fact that two subjects have similar names is by no means an adequate reason to merge their articles. Obvious case of WP:SNOW. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 12:18, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. These are two completely different trains. The two having merely similar designations does not warrant a merger, not to mention that if the two ended up being merged, the resulting article would be much more confusing to editors and readers alike than need be.

I note the close, evidently done given the consensus not to merge. Klbrain (talk) 15:27, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
