N. America & U.K. sections would improve the article
Given that this article is in the English-language version of Wikipedia, I believe it could benefit from being sectioned-off into North American and U.K. sections. I'm in Canada, and most of the DIY how-to magazines of the 1940s, '50s, etc were published in the U.S. But I've recently learned that the U.K had Practical Mechanics, Practical Householder, and perhaps other DIY magazines that were very influential and empowering after WWII.

I’m interested in the general use of the abbreviation “DIY.” I don’t remember it really being in use in the USA prior to about 2000. It was already a common abbreviation in british English , but hadn’t really spread here it seems

Agree to
DIY ethic →
Do it yourself article(s) as per
CONSENSUS. Things change, and these articles are no longer in need of a CFORK. Size is not an issue, while overlap is. Merge should proceed. Proposer,
ILIL, or other interested editor should carry out the merger.

Agree. Read through the article. It doesn't say or cover anything largely different from what's covered in the one the editor is suggesting to merge it with.

Merge – Ethics is a part of DIY. The separation of ethics into an article does not have much reason. Also, the current content makes sense and adds value if placed in one location; the DIY article.

Merge - the 'DIY ethic' article is mainly about 'DIY' music scenes. It can be merge into 'Do it yourself'. However, it would be good to include an expanded ethics subsection if references are found to support it. Also, it could be useful to discuss the difference between DIY product creation/assembly and DIY culture production, Maker culture probably blurs the line.

Oppose - this article is about a related but distinct subject, namely DIY music. The article should be worded better to reflect that, but it is a distinctly separate topic.

Merge due to
overlap. The
DIY ethic article lede is so broad that it duplicates the scope of
Do it yourself; the content partially reflects DIY culture in the creative arts, including music, but even that slips from time to time (cf the material on India). So, the suggestion made to merge seems the most reasonable current course of action; the suggestion for renaming the page to narrow the scope is also reasonable. I suggest that the existing material is brief enough to supplement existing material in
Do it yourself#Subculture, which already cover many of the ideas from music in the current iteration of
DIY ethic.

Support sounds good. The articles are almost identical, and there's no point in having twin articles. This is an encyclopedia, not a competition to make the most identical articles.
